    Share Gloria's Love

    It is said that all good things come to those who wait. Well today the waiting was finally over with the arrival of Gloria Jones album `Share My Love' which has been released on CD for the first time. This is one of my top two favourite Motown albums from the 1970's and I'm thrilled that it's now been recognised for the classic that it is. There is a beautiful 16 page booklet filled with interesting stories about Gloria's life and the making of the album courtesy of her son Rolan and renowned music writer A. Scott Galloway plus many lovely photographs. The music transcends its era and is as relevant today as it was back in 1973. Gloria is of course not just a singer but a great song writer too and has had a hand in writing nine of the ten tracks. She has a real earthy quality to her voice and tears up both ballads and up-tempo numbers in equal measure. There's the funky `Tin Can People' and the Spanish tinged `Oh Baby' that will have your toes tapping and hands clapping. `Old Love, New Love' is a beautiful inspirational ballad and only those with a heart of stone would fail to be moved by `Try Love'. This CD release includes a bonus track not included on the vinyl album which is Gloria's original demo of `If I Were Your Woman'. This song was of course a massive US hit for Gladys Knight & The Pips. I have loved this album for many years as it's been a constant source of comfort and inspiration. It's sad that it was not a commercial success but over the years it has become a cult soul classic. I'm delighted that I can now hear `Share My Love' in all its re-mastered glory thanks to Paul Williams and Reel Music. I'm sure that Gloria will now gain many more fans.
