Love Overboard!
No one realized when this lp\cd was released it would be the last official release from Gladys Knight & the Pips, well what a great finale cd that went GOLD! featuring the #1 R&B hit 'Love Overboard'. this is a strong lp by this group, i remember seeing them when they toured this lp and 'Complete Recovery' sounded great live. . . and what a great song 'Overnight Success' is, more artists in the business could learn a thing from Gladys by hearing this song!.


Perfectly Hot Finale!!!!
It is well worth having, not just from the collector's point of view, but because there are some interesting and great numbers. This was Gladys Knight and the Pips last recorded album together before Gladys went off on her solo career.

From the opening number "Love Overboard" with it's heavy beat, pulsating bass, and complex instrumental and vocal arrangements, this one is a cooker! No wonder this was a big hit single! "Lovin' On Next To Nothing" was another big hit from this work. "You" is a wonderful ballad that is a soulful love anthem! "Let Me Be The One" is a masterful ballad that Gladys sings perfectly. The scorcher, "Complete Recovery" has a catchy beat with a wildly fun arrangement plus a hot sax solo. "It's Gonna Take All Our Love" is the most magnificent song on the album. It has rich feeling, a beautiful arrangement, and Gladys singing from the depth of her soul. The final song "Overnight Success" is one of Gladys' great torch songs. The string section of this song was arranged by Burt Bacharach.

Certainly a must mention is the contribution from brilliant musicians on this album. George Duke, Dave Koz, Billy Preston, Jeff Lorber, Tom Snow, and Pablo Batista are just a few of the names that may be familiar to most music lovers. The album was produced by Gladys and her brother Bubba. It is a genuine labor of love.

If you are a Gladys Knight and the Pips fan and haven't added this one to your collection, you must ask yourself "why?" Don't put it off, get it soon. .


Excellent final album by the group!
I thought that they sounded good over the newer '80s technology of music that dominated the album. I liked Gladys Knight and the Pips' very last album as a group. But Gladys Knight and her group were on for the challenge and they succeeded. Strong songs like Love Overboard, the dramatic title song, Say What You Mean, You, Lovin on Next To Nothin, and others. While this won't match their Midnight Train to Georgia era of hits from the'70s, this was a fabulous swan song for the group. And Gladys' soulful voice just cuts through on all the songs.


All Worth It!
The album contains almost
two handfuls of like material-all hot late 80's synth bass-driven stompers with Knights likeable,explosive voice bringing
out the groove in each number. Worth looking for is a clip of Gladys Knight's appearance
on a 1988 episode of "A Different World" performing the bassy
funk groove of "Love Overboard" with Jasmine Guy and another
talented yet unsung singer-Dawnn Lewis. And as usual the ballads are
FIRST RATE. Some of the cuts are a little experimental musically
but Gladys & The Pips are never far away from their own groove.
I could tell 2000 words on how great each song on this album is
but I can't so don't let the late date put you off. This is one
of their best overall albums!.


Fabulous Album
All the tracks are great. Her vocals are impressive and emotive. My favourite is the hit single "Love Overboard. " Recommended.
