A fantastic album where Frank, as per usual, delivers several great songs. My personal favorites off of this LP were I Hadn't Anyone Till You, Come Rain Or Come Shine, Prisoner Of Love, and All Or Nothing At All, with the second and the fourth being some of my favorite Frank songs ever. Overall, this album was very enjoyable and I highly recommend checking it out for yourself.
