They run through styles effortlessly with so much soul and fun throughout even when dealing with heavy stuff (e.g. "Write It On The Water"). You can feel the fun they had in making this during a decidedly non-fun time, and "Where You're Going" sends it home with a perfect lesson for all of us prone to agonize over the past and not treasure the now enough.

This LP is just wonderful, even if I don't understand a word of what is sung. But, this is also the magic of music: when it is good, it does not matter the nationality. It's universal!
