    What a great album. All songs are strong, some epic and Melba is in fine voice, matching Patti Labelle on the gospel notes and also singing with beautiful range. The production is top notch and Joe Tarsia does one of his best mastering jobs ever, hand down. Her voice floats over the mix never overshadowing it but perfectly placed with great instrumental separation. This one is a keeper and the price is obscenely low. Wake up people!
