Family Affair

Family Affair  / Philip Bailey (1989)



The fifth solo album and the third gospel album.
Similar to the previous work, POP melodies and rhythms are different from conventional gospel images.

I think beautiful falsetto voices are divine and a good tool to convey thheir message.
"No Compromise" and "Lonely Broken Hearted People" should easily reach the hearts of non-faithless people.
I think it is a masterpiece.
It seems that the personality of each song has not been released ...
Sheldon Reynolds seems to be playing on guitar.
