CHANGING TIMES – MIGHTY CLOUDS OF JOY – Epic JE 35971 (7.98)
In the gospel music field, the Clouds are unquestionably on top but show off here that their brilliant vocal style can work just as well on traditional up-tempo r&b tunes. «What About the Price» kicks it off. [Record World, May 12, 1979 (Record World Album Picks)]
CHANGING TIMES – MIGHTY CLOUDS OF JOY – City Lights/Epic JE 35971 (CBS)
This LP, #20 for the Clouds, is the debut album for the new City Lights label. Quality, both technical and performance, is the key factor in this package, produced in part by James Cleveland and part by Frank Wilson. The title cut is hot; and all other cuts are standouts in their own right. Acceptance across the board in black music is assured. [Record World, May 12, 1979 (Gospel Section, Album Picks)]
