The multi-talented R&B duo Ashford & Simpson are known for classics like Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Your Precious Love and Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing amongst others. This '96 release, their first in 7 years, is a smooth mix of 'quiet storm' and easy grooves. Renowned poet and author Maya Angelou adds the distinctive flavor of her authoritative voice on several tracks, including the gospel-infected title track, and the sing-song 'voiceover' of Just Talking; her poetic riffs are filled mostly with love imagery this time around. Maya recorded the album Miss Calypso in the early 60's but had avoided revisiting the musical medium... until now!
