Singer Tommy Young, a native of Dallas, Texas, released her only album in 1973, produced by Bobby Patterson, on Soul Power, a label started by Patterson under the umbrella of the prestigious Jewel label in Shreveport, Louisiana. The lively pop medium "Hit And Run Lover" from this album became popular in the free soul scene in the 1990s, but the true appeal of her gospel roots lies in her deep singing, which is strongly influenced by Aretha Franklin. Her expressive voice on ballads such as the title track and "That's How Strong My Love Is," an O.V. Wright classic also sung by Candy Stayton, and her punchy vocals on Southern-flavored mediums and funky new-soul numbers that reflect the times. The most wonderful thing about this album is the punchy singing in the Southern-flavored mediums and the funky new soul numbers that reflect the era. This album is a true representative of the Southern Soul of this era. Malaco diva Dorothy Moore provides backing vocals.
