Johnnie Taylor' died just before the release of this set, but it is a fitting tribute to a man that never stopped practising his art. With his Stax sides at its core, it digs deep into his early years singing gospel with the Highway Q.C.'s and the Soul Stirrers', covers his time at Sam Cooke's SAR label and extends to his 1999 Malaco album, the eerily-prophetic "Soul Heaven". There is no doubt that is where Johnnie Taylor is still singing.
