As a Motown legend, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and leader of The Miracles,
It's been five years since
Unfortunately, this CD has two big problems. First, there are the insipid arrangements, which sound stuck in the late '80s or early '90s. "Standing On Jesus" in particular sounds like Stevie Wonder or Quincy Jones from that era. The other problem is the lyrics, especially "Gang Bangin'" (about a hoodlum turning his life around), where the 60-something Robinson makes a lame attempt to sound street smart: "Smokin' that smoke, doin' that coke/ Dealin' that dope, givin' up hope/ Gang bangin'." Give me a break.
Although it's nice to hear Robinson sing about spiritual matters, one would've hoped for a better, more relevant, and slightly longer effort than this nine-track recording. Still, there's no denying his vocal prowess, which still holds up even after 40-plus years in show business.
