To some this set may sound a little old school; but to me that is exactly what I want to hear from Mr.Hewett.It's what he does so well.
I never stop raving about the fantastic It's Time album and one of its best tracks (How do I know I love you) is quite deservedly given a great working on this set.
It's strange, when Marvin Gaye died I deeply regretted having never seen him live.His music meant so much it felt like an old friend had gone forever.Well Howard at his best makes you feel like he is an old friend and on this album he calls round to help you feel good.
He tips his hat firmly in Gaye's direction on the title track, which works so well.
Its early days to get into this album and I am sure that some will be horrified that he should cover the late John Lennon's Imagine but the musicians involved with this album give this song a unique new twist which also works well.Why re-sing a classic world peace song in the same simple style as the timeless original-it would be pointless.
This is Howard firmly on track. Great singing, proper musicians playing proper instrumets.The late Billy Preston contributes to one track-sadly I believe his last recording work.
Some may not get into the gospel tinged working of the Lord's prayer but those of us that suffered Cliff Richard's tiresome christmas rendering will shout 'Halleluiah!' from the highest rooftop!!!!
If you want some quality amongst the buckets full of musical garbage out there then buy this set and make the man a star!!!!!!

Hearfelt and beautiful.

Format:Audio CD
Ex Shalamar vocalist, Howard Hewett will please his legion of fans with this Soul set that fuses Howard's relaxed vocal style with Smooth Soul. Several cuts grab the headlines including the stunningly beautiful "Can U Feel Me" and the title song.
Ballads like "Is This True Love" ooze emotion where Howard is joined by Gerald Albright on sax.
And if you love ballads check out the searing slowie "Don't U Wonder 2". Old school style numbers like "I Wanna Know" maintain a mid-tempo groove.
Hewett has never sounded better.
Give this record a spin, it is worth it!

I have always been a huge fan of Howard Hewitt. He put the R (riveting) into R&B. This is a phenomenal CD. I will purchase several more copies to send to friends since it is very hard to purchase in the stores!!!! Thanks for advising me of this CD. Kudos!!!

Simply Amazing

First, the poster named Sunshine hit the nail on the head in describing this masterpiece. This has to be one of the most comprehensive CDs that I've listened to in a long time. Howard hit a homerun, scored a touchdown, and won a championship with this album. I purchased it the day after it came out and have been listening to it everyday since. I also have it in my MP3/4 player.
It is so hard to narrow down my favorites, but I will go with "If Only", "To Please U", "Can U Feel Me", "Is This True Love", "I Wanna Know", "How Do I Love You". The whole CD is beautiful. I also love how he gives glory and how he, in a mature way, sings about love, because love is where it's at. He also did a nice rendition with Gerald Albright on "Imagine". I just cannot stop gushing over this CD. It is modern, but signature Howard Hewett and the vocals are still impeccable.
