Product Description

Album Description

Scandal and intrigue have always surrounded La Toya, from her radical transformation from the Jackson's shy sister into a worldwide sex symbol, to her recent re-emergence as a key supporter of her brother Michael during his 2005 trial.

The last thing that probably springs into most people's minds is her music. There's a lot more to Grammy Award winning La Toya than just her body-she has a lot of soul too. In this, her 1980 debut album, listen out for ‘Night Time Lover’, produced by her brother Michael; the exquisite ‘My Love Has Passed You By’, featuring Stevie Wonder on harmonica; ‘Are You Ready’, written by Billy Ocean; and the lead single ‘If You Feel The Funk’.

This is the first, ever British release of La Toya Jackson's self titled album, over 25 years after it was first released in America and Europe in 1980.

Includes contributions from her brother Michael, sister Janet, Stevie Wonder and Billy Ocean.

5.0 out of 5 stars La Toya's Stunning Debut, 4 May 2006
By Mike "Toy's Boy" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
La Toya Jackson is one of the most criminally underappreciated artists in the history of music. The reason for this is an eternal mystery to Toy Soldiers around the globe: La Toya has the looks, attitude and stunning vocal ability to match it with anyone in the business. However, through some sad twist of fate La Toya's albums have mostly faded into obscurity - until now!

"La Toya Jackson" is the timely re-release of La Toya's magnificent debut album, which was greeted with much enthusiasm by critics and fans upon its original 1980 release. The album includes contributions from a long list of RnB luminaries and represents a compelling mix of RnB funk, disco beats and luscious ballads. This album is a triumph for La Toya and holds up wonderfully 26 years later.

The album begins with La Toya's much loved "If You Feel The Funk". This was a minor hit on the RnB chart and remains a fan favourite. I guarantee that you won't be the same after feeling La Toya's funk! The next track, "Save Your Love" is a personal favourite. This is disco Toy at her funkiest, pleading with her man to save his love while she's on the road. "Are You Ready" is another great example of an RnB groove, 80s style. Next comes "Night Time Lover", La Toya's infamous duet with her brother, Michael. If you can overcome the slightly disturbing imagery of siblings singing about touching each in the dark, then this is a winner. Toy proves herself to be more than Michael's equal with her erotically charged performance.

"A Taste Of You (Is A Taste Of Love)" is the album's first ballad and showcases La Toya's tremendous vocal range. This is followed by "Lovely Is She", one of Toy's most appealing mid-tempo ballads. The lyrics could not describe La Toya more perfectly - "lovely is she, beautiful and charming". The album closes with the deep groove of "If I Ain't Got It". This song is full of attitude and contains an unforgettable baseline that will have you hooked from the first listen.

"La Toya Jackson" is a great album, from beginning to end. It is a great starting point for people who have yet to fall under La Toya's irresistible spell, while for Toy's millions of devoted fans, this re-release will more than help to fill the void until the release of "Startin' Over", La Toya's much anticipated new album.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT BAD, 1 Jun 2006
By MUSIC MANIAC (New York) - See all my reviews
Latoya's first album is not bad at all. I don't think it's her best. If You Feel The Funk is a great song with a hot guitar solo from Ray Parker Jr. The first single, Night Time Lover was written and produced by Michael and has background vocals from him as well. This should have been massive. But it wasn't. I think it's one of his best. Lovely Is She is another Jackson collaboration, this time with Janet. She co-wrote this one and given her age at the time, not half bad. Other notable songs are Are You Ready which is a nice upbeat song. My Love Has Passed You By has a Stevie Wonder harmonica solo (big deal) and is the only ballad on the album. Also not a bad song. As for the rest, well in my opinion, not bad but really not great. Here is hoping the rest of her catalog comes out soon on CD, as well as her new album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Album finally on CD, 24 May 2006
By N. Poole (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Toy soldiers now's your chance!
I have to say this is a brilliant album
I have been listening to this on vinyl for so long and now i am definately buying this for the CD quality.
Latoya has soul
And Latoya is a great singer.
She puts her heart and soul and more important some 'personality' into the vocals.
Best track in my opinion is Nightime Lover but they are all great. I hope this CD does well because more of her back catalogue will be released.
And dont forget the new album that is due out sometime soon.
This is a classy release. Enjoy
