There's nothing weak or mediocre about
Junior Walker's albums -- all have a high standard and feature his winning gusto sax screams and sauced vocals. He cut some of the tightest tracks laid at Motown's Studio A -- aka the Snake Pit. The insidious "Do You See My Love for You Growing" explodes for more than three blasting minutes. His deep-fried update of
Stevie Wonder's "I Was Made to Love Her" is off the hook and as gritty as sandpaper. He dusts off
Johnny Bristol and
Jackey Beavers' "Carry Your Own Load," outshining the duo's nondescript original. On
Neil Diamond's "Holy, Holy,"
Walker's sax cries like a mourning dog. "Shut Up, Don't Interrupt Me" didn't endear
Walker to women libbers, but "Groove and Move" elevated his funk/psychedelic stock. ~ Andrew Hamilton
