Mr. B is out of his element

""Stormy/Feel the Warm" is the album by this great artist to avoid. He sings mostly songs that were popularized in the 1970's. The songs here may have worked with other artists, but Billy couldn't make these his own and as a result he sounds a little bit rediculous. Stick with his earlier work."
"Stormy" is a great album but "Feel The Warm" is mediocre at

"The Isaac Hayes-produced "Stormy" set was a very fine album that remains both enjoyable and intriguing. Thankfully, Hayes was able to give "Mr. B" some great ballads which fit his style perfectly--even today, it remains a classy and gorgeous MOR-Soul set. Sadly, much of the material on "Feel The Warm" was inappropriate for a crooner of Billy Eckstine's caliber and is thus a merely passable set."
