MILDRED CLARK & THE MELODY-AIRES – Lord, I’ve Really Been Trying, ABC-Peacock PLP 59225 (ABC).
Fine example of contemporary gospel, with traditionally oriented lyrics and excellent, contemporary arrangements. Mildred Clark, Saundra Clark, Maryetta Scott and Barbara White all take turns on lead vocals, each offering a powerfully distinctive style. Lead and backing vocals provide intricate, skilled harmonies. Soul, pop and even a disco feel to the instrumentation. Fine production from Eddie Robinson. Best cuts: «Lord, I’ve Really Been Trying», «He Loves You», «Working For Jesus». [Top Album Picks / Soul (Billboard Magazine, April 10, 1976)]
