Last in a series of ten. To be considered a "chart scraper" album, an artist must have had only one album make the Cash Box 200 album chart* during the years 1976-85. Said album spent no more than two weeks on the chart, placing no higher than 196. They're all new to me.

A hit-or-miss Southern soul album. The good cuts are down-and-dirty and really good: "Sometimes," "Caught in the Act (Of Getting It On)," "A Hundred Pound of Pain," "Uphill Places of Mind," and "That Kind of Fire." The misses include covers of Barbra Streisand's "Lost Inside of You" and Barry Manilow's "Looks Like We Made It." The Muscle Shoals session musicians are always first-rate but are hampered on occasion by weak material. The album fared slightly better on the Billboard charts than in Cash Box: it spent 7 weeks in the Billboard 200, peaking at #146; and 5 weeks in the Billboard R&B albums chart, peaking at #33.
