Variety will keep this CD spinning on your player. Sounding like Sam Cooke on some cuts (i.e., "Don't Let Me Lose This Feeling"); Tyrone Davis on others; and Mr. Joe Simon on "Chokin' Kind," "(You Keep Me) Hangin' On," and "Message From Maria," Simon explores every crevice of his vocal prowess on 16 tracks that were originally issued on Monument Records. His renditions of Elvis Presley's "In the Ghetto," Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay," and Dorothy Moore's "Misty Blue" are as compelling as the originals.
