Denise La Salle: Trapped By A Thing Called Love

IF THIS ISN'T THE best soul album this year, someone is going to have to come up with something really amazing. Denise La Salle is incredible: she writes her own material and it is right out of the mold that made black pop so amazing in the middle sixties. The influences are vintage Atlantic/Stax, and sometimes Motown, but the ambience is strictly '70s.
