• Johnnie Taylor Philosophy Continues shows the former Soul Stirrers versatility, but a mediocre effort overall for Johnnie. Producer Don Davis attempt to widen Taylors appeal resulted in an album of watered-down Southern soul. Fans didnt expect Taylor-ized versions of "Love Is a Hurting Thing," "Who Can I Turn To," or "Games People Play," nor were they appreciated. He charted with "I Could Never Be President," but the songs appeal escapes some, even though David Ruffin redid it on his Doin His Thing album. "Love Bones" and "Its Amazing" are the best soul offerings, but "I Had a Fight with Love" and "Separation Line" are mundane and formulaic. Taylors rendition of Parliaments "I Wanna Testify" made an impact on the charts, and is interesting, but his voice was worthy of better. Everybody and their mama must have recorded "Its Your Thing," but none seem to be able to touch the Isleys stomping original. ~ Andrew Hamilton
