Sue Raney has long had a spectacular voice with a wide range and plenty of power, yet filled with sensuous subtlety. Unfortunately, she has recorded much too infrequently throughout her career. For the third of her three Discovery LPs, Raney is teamed up with keyboardist Bob Florence, bassist Bob Badgley and drummer Michael Stephans for a dozen songs sporting lyrics by Alan & Marilyn Bergman, plus the title cut, a Raney/Florence tribute to the Bergmans. The emphasis is on ballads, with the better known pieces being "You Must Believe In Spring," "The Trouble With Hello Is Goodbye" and "Little Boy Lost." Raney's voice sounds appealing as usual, but the keyboards are sometimes rather dated and not much improvising takes place on the middle-of-the-road pop set.
