MARY WELLS - IN & OUT OF LOVE (1981)


AMG Review:
'What happened to Mary Wells was one of Motown's greatest disgraces. She was way past her prime on this early-'80s album, and was also hampered by poor material and unimaginative production. Someone who had made such marvelous music for Motown in its formative years shouldn't even have been working at that point, and certainly shouldn't have suffered the humiliation of churning out unrepresentative material to earn a living'
I must say that I disagree - Gigolo, Indian Giver and These Arms are some of the best songs she's ever cut, and the rest ain't that bad despite she had begun to lose some of her vocal prowess.
