Hey Patti! Glad you liked Jesse Belvin's smooth and soulful voice. A great loss. I bought a 2012 re-release of this album recently at Amazon so it is available. Now my wife, a member of a later generation which doesn't know much about great ballads and the great singers who interpreted them, has fallen in love with his voice. BTW, Stevie Wonder once said he had learned more about singing from this record than any other. Terry Butler

How amazing when you find someone new who is exactly the one you've been yearning to hear.
Quite a voice indeed.
