I am a young man, born in the early 80's, so I haven't heard much 70's music besides Marvin Gaye or Al Green from my father's collection. I bought this album because I instantly became a fan of Miss Williams after watching her perform live on tv. I must say I am extremely pleased. I love the way Vanessa channels her fiery passion into the title track "Everlasting Love". I was most amazed by her vocal phrasing and the high vocal range which she seldom showcases. My favorite song on the album is "Midnight Blue" a ballad thats soft and romantic. "You are Everything" is obviously a popular pick because V sounds hip and hot as any of the young performers today. What she has that they lack is an obvious maturity to sing songs like the jazzy and exuberant "Harvest for the World" and her heart wrenching emotional "One Less Bell to Answer". This album is the perfect Mother's Day, Valentines, Birthday, Christmas...whatever special day gift for your loved one.

Nothing spectacular or innovative here.All tracks are well crafted to please your ears smoothly and nicely.She has a nice and appealing voice and nobody will complain about this album,which is really for the masses.It's a decent product. If you are looking for something really good,then you have to go for the current best female jazz artist,Regina Belle and her latest rendition 'LAZY AFTERNOON',a true masterpiece,which blends jazz and R&B with class and soulful style...unique.Trust me !

After a long departure from music, within the last few months Vanessa Williams makes a powerful return back to music. Where as fans of the multi-talented diva were yearning for Williams to record a new album, within less than 5 months apart, she releases two excellent albums. Her latest album release "Everlasting Love" covers moderate to obscure tunes from the 1970s. Instead of attempting to chase after current pop trends, she reinterprets the tunes with class and emotion missing from what is played mostly on the radio. The album highlights include the funk infused "Never Can Say Goodbye", the first single from the album "You Are Everything", and the upbeat Isley Brothers' tune "Harvest For The World." Also, of course the ballads (Vanessa's specialty) on the album are good such as the duet "With You I am Born Again." The two biggest highlights of the album would have to be the title track "Everlasting Love" (a Chaka Khan/Refus) in which Williams shows off her beautiful lower register and high register. On the title track Williams gives the tune a vocal workout which could give some younger vocalists a run for their money. The second biggest highlight of the album would have to be the ballad "One Less Bell To Answer." On this tune, Vanessa squeezes out so much emotion out of her vocals without over singing and shouting. The only complaint of the album would be if Williams could of covered some dance or disco tunes from the same musical era. Williams' last few albums have been almost completely have been driven with mid-tempo or ballads with the exception of her Billboard Dance Top 10 hit "Happiness" and it is not like Williams doesn't know her way around the dancefloor. This album does follow within that same trend as her more recent albums of lacking dancefloor tunes, which at moments makes the album drag along when listening to the album as a whole. But all and all, the album is most definitely worth picking up or downloading off of iTunes. Now the record label needs to promote the album like they would for any other world-class performer.

Barnes & Noble - Dave Gil de Rubio
In the throes of divorce from NBA star Rick Fox, Vanessa Williams recorded a nostalgic album of '70s love songs -- and a darn good one, at that. Ironically entitled, Everlasting Love, the disc unearths numerous pop nuggets to which Williams grew up listening. From the start, she makes smart song selections, such as choosing Rufus and Chaka Khan's lite-funk gem "Everlasting Love" as the title track, instead of Carl Carlton's oft-covered smash of the same name. From there, Williams moves from a gorgeous rendering of the Roberta Flack classic "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," featuring the subtle contributions of the London Session Orchestra, to a sensual reading of ...
