This one's trying too hard.

Is it going to climb inexorably to an epic 'amen corner' gospel crescendo?

It's all over the shop.

Track 8 - Anything You Want Me To Do.

Sprightly, light, bouncy.

Deft, unexpected chord change.

Not-so deft and unexpected key change.

Track 9 - I Can't Let My Heaven Walk Away.

Which I'm sure you all remember commentating on very clearly.

Now I come to think of it, I think we've done the next three albums after this.

I wonder whether this is Wonder on drums?

Track 10 - Joy (Takes Over Me).

Suddenly sounding like it's from about two years later.

So groovy.

Track 11 - I Gotta Have a Song.

It's interesting to look at the songwriting credits.

SW is a co-writer on almost all the songs - a sign that Motown still didn't quite trust him as a main songwriter.
