When You Hear Lou, You've Heard It All in Bloomington, MN

A smooth, often delightful album that kept
Lou Rawls
squarely in the love/romantic/mellow circle that he'd been scoring in throughout the late '70s.
Gamble
and
Huff
were really trimming the productions and keeping things laid-back and casual, while
Rawls
' emphatic, smoky vocals carried the day. They weren't getting huge pop hits, but were on the R&B charts steadily, and the album just missed the pop Top 40. ~ Ron Wynn
