The pictures of the cover here published don't fit with the US country version. In US there's no TamlaMotown - only Tamla. I own the US-LP, and there's NO LOGO on the front, and TAMLA on the back in the lower right corner

Valerie Simpson's second Tamla release was a triumphant follow-up to her "Exposed" LP. All singles written by her and husband Nickolas Asford. Every track on the album is a classic and noteworthy. The lead single off the album, "Silly Wasn't I", was Val's first solo chart at #24 on the R&B charts. According to Motown logs, an album by Ashford and Simpson entitled "Nick and Val" was recorded but was unreleased. After this release, Valerie recorded with her husband as a duo. Side A:1.) Fix It Alright (****) A lovely intro to the album, a song about brotherhood and helping each other out with problem. Good song.2.) Benji (*****) One of my personal favorites on the album, Val and Nick's harmony on this song is simply beautiful. 3.) Drink the Wine (***) An average track. Very sassy.4.) One More Baby Child Born (***) A song about the joys and trials and tribulations of raising a child. Nice song.5.) Keep It Coming (*****) Another favorite of mine, which should have been a follow up to Silly Wasn't I. A positive song with a catchy melody.Side B:6.) I Believe I'm Gonna Take This Ride (*****) A groovy song with a finger snapping groove that's jazzy and sophisticated. Another nice harmony between husband and wife.7.) Could Have Been A Little Bit Sweeter (****) A pretty nice filler that is as sweet as candy.8.) Silly Wasn't I (*****) The stand out song on the LP the song alone is worth the LP9.)Genius I(****) An acoustic version that gets better on part 2.10.) Genius II (*****) Grooving conclusion of part 1. Very hot that could have been a single as well.Highly recommend this album for any record collector Valerie Simpson's solo work is higher underrated and should have higher recognition with a recent compilation of her (and if possible hers and Nick Motown unreleased album) work. (****)

This entire LP is worth your time and money just for the cut "Silly Wasn't I" alone! Easily one of my top favorite soul cuts that just embodies the best elements of the style. The greatest charm about this cut in my opinion is Valerie's delivery. Her style is not too over the top yet so sincere and natural with every lyric that it just can't help but send chills. Her voice complimented with just amazing chord progressions and harmonies throughout can't help but make this song perfect.
