  Reviews

  One of the most revered and sought-after rare soul albums of the seventies Restored to its former glory, the album finally gets the respect and reverence it deserves. Charly Records

  A highly regarded Slow and Deep set by Freddie Briggs, with backing vocals and writing credit by his wife Kim Briggs (Tolliver). Soul Source

  Musically, this was prime early-’70s soul Briggs’ voice reminding me a bit of a cross between Swamp Dogg, Clarence Carter, and Lloyd Price. Discogs user review
