Joan Armatrading: Me Myself I (A&M)
Phil Sutcliffe, Sounds, 17 May 1980
JUST TO put new readers of my ongoing review of Joan Armatrading's work in the picture I should mention that I rather like this lady. In fact, taken all round she's one of my favourite human beings and if they gave Most Valuable Player awards in music like they do in American football she'd get my single transferable vote.
