This is not your typical ear candy that you listen to once, love immediately and adore completely and then discard. It's a well thought out, sophisticated, carefully orchestrated and pretty darm impressive.I wish the man were recording more. For the one cover of "Maybe I'm Amazed" I was surprised and delighted -- it's not exactly an easy song to sell but Billy Porter has a talent for interpretation. He also has a devine voice.I understand from the linear notes of his 'Broadway and Soul' album that he's taking more control (good for him) and from his arrangement of the closing song 'Sunday' that he did -- he should flex those muscles.Yes, he deserves five stars, six and seven, but that's for the next cd. I'll even pay full price for a cd by Billy Porter!
