When singers record a soul or R&B classics cover album, they usually go for the
songs that made groups famous in the 60s. Seal didnt go all mainstream. Instead,
he offers us nice vocals and fresh instrumentals to classics not usually heard
of. "A Change Is Gonna Come" is a known song, but this was the first time I
heard it. I really loved Seals version. And although Seal sometimes lacks the
power in his voice that the original vocalists had, this is definately a must
have album. He does superb when giving his version of the more mellow songs.
