Reviewed by Kwaku Whilst the accent of this compilation, recorded at London's Cave Studios, is definitely God-centred, it's a patchy affair. The likes of Sylvia Tella, Carlene Davis, Susan Harriott, Denzil Dennis, Tony Rich and Beverley Sweet offer sweet voices, backed by engaging musical backing. My favourite however is Don Campbell's "Coming Home (My First Love)". His voice deliciously engages and ministers. However, my one gripe is that for an album which is done for Godly reasons, not to mention the sleeve carries an anti-piracy campaign, how come the writers of the famous reggae riddim driving E-Mac-U-Let's superb "Jesus Be A Friend", and Elena Angel's poor cover of "Heart Of Worship", aren't credited?
