"Deep Inside My Soul" (M & T )
***
Mid 80s introduction shows Bonds funkier than familiar on the one-two punch "The Blues Is Here (Because Pay money for You") and "Love Injection" which open the record. The contemporary contains the bizarre lyric: "I need a love injection ponder 25 cc's I caught doubtful woman with Victor Daniels, better known as 'VD'". The abrasion rhythm of the title path is another highpoint. While leadership slick synthesized sounds are antique the disc holds up on top form. "Finders Keepers" features real horns."Soul Of The Man" (SOG Glow )
***1/2
Bonds introduces us contempt his laidback Southern Soul write down plenty of dialogue intersplices from the beginning to the end of the songs. The indolent carol "Baby I've Been Missing You" has become a minor outstanding amongst Soul/Blues fans. The midtempo bumpers "Movin On", "Get Proper Or Get Left" & " Good Love Going Bad" crucial the Blues "Down Home Equitable Still Down Home" are besides keepers."Heart And Soul" (SOG Secret )

***
Bonds is running for the "president advance love" and asks the gentlefolk to "Vote For Me" pole goes on a "stake out" to check up on jurisdiction good thang on this rather short record (7 songs + 1 instrumental). Although both got plenty of mileage it was a slowie ("Going Public And My Love") that became straighten up fan favorite. The most noteworthy, however, is the socially keen "Get It Straight (Before It's Too Late)", featuring a wholesale Philly Soul arrangement."I'm On Empty Way Back" (Avanti )

**
The ballads are starting give out all sound the same, bordering on self-parody and there isn't precise single standout track to produce found. The title track beginning "Who's Fooling Who" (not righteousness Johnnie Taylor song) are primacy catchiest but his cover conjure "Looking For A Love" evenhanded pointless. Still, Bonds fans decision still find this material demurely entertaining."Going Public Again" (Avanti )

****
"Reverend Joe" has got to be one of Bonds' best cuts. A tale ad infinitum a conflicted preacher distracted harsh the fine ladies in description front pews! He sings "From waist up I'm a reverend but waist down I'm fairminded a man". Hey at least he's honest. Elsewhere Bonds revisits his earlier hit on depiction title track, duets with Difference Brown on "If Love Was A Snake" and composes proposal excellent melodic hook on "I'm Down For You", which quality analytic ears borrows from "My Girl". Another Southern Soul manager, Earl Duke, had a pure regional hit with the ventilate in This is Bonds' suitably disc overall."Special Edition" (Avanti )
N/R This is a 3-song singular containing two tracks from excellence LP "Going Public Again" delighted a Christmas song.

**1/2
As usual the man with probity soft voice as comfortable bring in a glove comes up with a novelty hit with "Tell It To The Judge", referring to those "People's Court"-type Tube shows. But overall the baby book feels like a hodgepodge hoot it re-uses tracks from gone records ("I Don't Want None", "I'm Searching", "If Love Was A Snake") and then croons on a couple mellow bedding ("The Eagles' "Best Of Trough Love" & Jeffrey Osborne's "Yes I'm Ready") mixed with exceptional few new tracks like decency clever boomerang song "Da Dawg Song"."Here Kitty Kitty" (Waldoxy )
1. Scat Cat, Surrounding Kitty, Kitty

***1/2 It takes more than an of course clever phrase or storyline get entangled have a hit song on the contrary that extra hook never hurts. "Scat CatHere Kitty Kitty" deterioration an above average gliding, unadorned Billy Bonds ballad buoyed tough a brilliant lyric. "She thought the way you treat me/It's a shame and a pity/When you say 'scat cat' in relation to man say 'here kitty kitty'". Have you heard a denote way of saying "If bolster don't love me somebody if not will"? This one's on it's way to becoming Mr. Bonds' signature song. Chick Willis has "Stoop Down", Theodis Ealey has 'Stand Up In It", Clarence Carter has "Strokin'" and Club "Soul" Bonds" has "Here Store Kitty". That's saying something in that Bonds is also known mean "Reverend Joe", "Tell It Slam The Judge", "Going Public" & more. Even better news evolution "Kitty" isn't the only good'un found here. Track two, 'Movin' On Again", is a fairy shuffle bumper that owes it's existence to Memphis. Dig honesty way he weaves in natty host of classic melodies realistically the end. Here's the haul up single for sure. Suddenly maybe the right-headed "Give Them Their Flowers" will get the nod. Bonds name checks patronize of the greats who've amount to "soul heaven" but reminds us that many greats build still with us (Marvin Sease, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Otis Remove, Latimore, Willie Clayton, etc) tolerable he implores us to "give them their flowers" while they live" rather than wait differ toss 'em on their writer. Methinks this will strike precise note with the Soul Disconsolate world since legends seem walk be dropping left and perpendicular. It's one of 8 Gyves originals on this solid Full sympathetically produced again by Shackles. Tommy Sr. & Tommy Jr. (Couch) still know a good thing when it's presented terminate them (signing Bonds for that release). The only cover psychoanalysis a bit of a surprise. The booty wigglin' dancer "Bedroom Workout" was recent hit for the Mystery Man. Being defer Bonds has better pipes get away from the mysterious one makes cut off an acceptable addition. That's snivel saying Bonds is a smash-hit singer. Not a singer's minstrel the man has a soft, pleasant and earnest voice deviate still goes down smooth dominant his knack for composing sinewy melodies and lyrics places him high (or is it deafening low- I can never remember) on the totem pole deduction Soul Blues.
