Jennifer Holliday - Feel My Soul

Feelin' her soul

A veteran singer who remains consistently underrated despite her lengthy career, this debut from Jennifer Holliday shows the beginning of a consummate career as a deep, bellowing soul belter. Featuring strong ballads in "Just For A While" and "Change Is Gonna Come," the album is beautifully produced by Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire and has a couple of stylish midtempo numbers in "Shine A Light" and "Just Let Me Wait" in addition to her trademark slow ballads. Though it is not a song from this particular album, Jennifer Holliday also recorded the striking ballad "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" years before another Jennifer made it famous.

Jennifer A Welcome New Voice

I own and recommend this cd to any one with an ear , for music ! January 11, 2006

AMAZING woman, amazing voice

I was first introduced to this woman's incredible voice through "Dreamgirls." I was blown away, and had to find out more. Her voice reaches deep into your soul and pushes all the right buttons...Your darkest, most hidden emotions are spoken to. Two thumbs up for this remarkable lady. I LOVE YOU JENNIFER!

No one better

By all means, the most sensual, beautiful voice in all the world. Unfortunatly, Jennifer never received the accolades she truely deserved. Expose yourself to a soulful voice that will make you a "Holliday" junkie. July 30, 2003

This Solo Debut Is Finally Available Again

I love this album, even if it has 80's slickness all around it. My absolute favorite track is "I Am Love," which was a fond memory and unheard until 1996, when the "Best Of" collection was released. This cd is remastered well. The producers of this album didn't know what to do with Jennifer, so the material varies from gossamer ballads to throw down dance anthems, all so well performed the whole thing seems surreal. Jennifer's second album "Say Yoy Love Me" still remains out of print but that album was a bit more even, Michael Jackson wrote the opening track and this aside, Jennifer was in a more gospel mood. The title track and Duke Ellington standard "Come Sunday" won Jennifer a Grammy and is featured on her "Best Of " album. With the budget priced release of this cd, I feel we won't be seeing this one for long, so snatch it up while you can and interesting to note, I've never seen this cd in a used record store so once purchased, no one is letting go.
