Still in ORIGINAL SHRINK-WRAP (opened), with HYPE-STICKER. Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded). Cover looks great; a couple creases near edges; no scuffing (front/back). Inner-sleeve is original (generic white). Spine is unbroken, clean, and easy-to-read. Little shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge; minor wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use. (Not a cut-out.)
Washington, D.C.-born vocalist Amy Keys carved a niche for herself as one of R&B's femme balladeer specialists with this sensuous collection. Keys' deep, rich tone drives such powerful ballads as the dramatic Crazy Love (later recorded by Patti LaBelle, Luther Vandross, Ada Dyer, and Sheena Easton) and the pleading Has It Come to This, this set's third single. Selections like "Even Now, A Man and a Woman, and the hook-smart title track (from the Gregory Hines flick Tap) are also quite lovely, and prove that a ballad-heavy album need not be boring. Only two of the tracks here are true up-tempo numbers. Keys' range is quite flexible: She uses a husky, masculine tone on I Know What's Good for You, while floating in the upper registers for Even Now.
