I actually first saw this album on "Natalie Cole`s list of music you should hear" lol

I listened to a few samples on amazon, and the album sounded good.

Actually, that's the album that made me a Franks fan...before that...I dunno, he's got one of those odd whispery voices, and people either like it, or it makes 'em wanna grab an AK47, lol ...

But when I heard this album, I was like, "Ok,, ya got me...gotta start checkin' Mike out, lol ".....

I remember this album from back in the day when it first came out. I worked in a record store and used to play this entire album from start to finish at least 3 or 4 times a day. Needless to say, I loved it, but I can't say I've heard it in over 20 years. But just seeing it here in this post reminded me that I used to love this album. Now I have to go out and find the CD! Thanks for the memory.
