Johnny Bristol: Hang On in There Baby (MGM M3G 4959)

Paul Gambaccini, Rolling Stone, 30 January 1975

THIS SONGWRITER/producer's debut as an LP artist frequently bears similarities to the work of Barry White. Vocals are alternately guttural and emotive, then strident and anxious. Guitar punctuation and lush string accompaniment are also reminiscent of the rotund soul maestro.
