Liner Notes EVERYBODY'S TALKIN', AND IT'S ABOUT TIME! WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW IS THE SOUND THAT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. THE SOUND OF MISS CAROLYN FRANKLIN. IN THIS, HER SECOND ALBUM FOR RCA, THE PRODUCERS, BUZZ WILLIS AND JIM RADCLIFFE, HAVE COME THROUGH WITH A COLLECTION OF VEHICLES FOR CAROLYN THAT WILL TAKE YOU FROM THE INTERCHANGES OF HER MIND TO THE FREEWAYS OF HER SOUL. NOTES SIDE 1, BAND 1: EVERYBODY'S TALKIN': MISS FRANKLIN LENDS HER VERY INDIVIDUAL STYLING TO THIS STANDARD THAT JUST HAS TO GET TO YOU. THE "FRIENDS" WILL BE PROUD TO KNOW THAT CAROLYN JUST TAKES HER TIME AND DOES HER THING TO THEIR HIT GOIN' IN CIRCLES. THE ALBUM'S TITLE TUNE, CHAIN REACTION, EXPLODES ALL OVER YOUR MIND WITH ITS STRONG RHYTHM AND MESSAGE. AND SOMEHOW YOU GET THE IMPRESSION THAT SOME MAN, SOMEWHERE, IS DOING HER WRONG AS SHE SINGS YOU REALLY DIDN'T MEAN IT. THEN THERE'S CAROLYN'S OWN VERSION OF A HIT THAT COULD BE A HIT AGAIN-NOT ON THE OUTSIDE. NOW, FLIP IT AND PUT A LITTLE LOVE IN YOUR HEART SWINGS IN WITH ITS MUCH NEEDED MESSAGE. IF DON'T WAKE ME UP IN THE MORNING MICHAEL SHOULD REMIND YOU OF BIG SISTER ARETHA, YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO BLAME THE SONG ITSELF OR THE GOSPEL-LIKE PIANO ACCENTUATIONS IN THE BACKGROUND. BUT REMEMBER THAT CAROLYN FRANKLIN WROTE MANY OF BIG SISTER'S HITS BEFORE DECIDING TO DO HER OWN THING. I AIN'T GOT TO LOVE NOBODY ELSE GROOVES AND RIGHT ON! IS A BIG, MOVING SOUND. SHE WRAPS THIS ALBUM UPWITH SHATTERED PRIDE, WHICH IS SET ON A LATIN-LIKE GROOVE AND IS VERY STRONG LYRICALLY. SO EVERYBODY'S TALKIN' ABOUT THE FACT THAT CAROLYN FRANKLIN HAS FINALLY BEEN SHOWCASED WITHIN A FRAMEWORK OF COMPLIMENTARY SONGS THAT SHE HANDLES EXTREMELY WELL. OH PLEASE DON'T GET THE IMPRESSION THAT I TRIED TO ANALYZE EACH AND EVERY SELECTION. YOU'LL HAVE TO HEAR THEM FOR YOURSELF. BUT I DIDN'T FEEL I COULD MENTION ONE WITHOUT THE OTHERS. SO WE OFFER YOU CHAIN REACTION WITH CAROLYN FRANKLIN. LET US HOPE THAT THE "FALLOUT" WILL BE VERY "RADIO-ACTIVE." BILL WILLIAMS WCHB RADIO INKSTER, MICHIGAN
