Lamont DozierWorking on You Release Date 1981 Label Guerilla Disc Rating: ![]() Motown alumnus Lamont Dozier's most consistent and thoroughly charming album was his 1981 Columbia LP Working on You. The prolific singer/songwriter/producer wrote every song and performed all the lead and background vocals on the album. His only release for the label, Working on You spawned the perennial U.K. Northern soul/beach music favorite &"Cool Me Out." Standout tracks are the longing-filled &"Why (Ain't My Love Enough)," the shimmering, fluttering &"(You Got Me) Wired Up," the lilting and optimistic &"Starting Over (We've Made the Necessary Changes)," the warm and earnest title track, and the reggae-flavored &"Chained (To Your Love)." The outstanding backing band includes the fresh keyboard work of John Barnes and Tony Palter. Amazing none of the singles (&"Cool Me Out," &"Too Little Too Long") or the album itself charted upon its original spring 1981 release. Pristinely recorded, Working on You cries out for a CD reissue with full liner notes. Until then good music lovers can enjoy the vinyl reissue of Working on You issued by Sony Music Entertainment during spring 2000. Ed Hogan, Rovi |
