Ace Spectrum - Inner Spectrum (CD)

All Music Guide

The quartet's first and most popular of three Atlantic Records albums. It contains their only hit, "Don't Send Nobody Else" (also recorded by "the Dynamic Superiors") and a first-rate rendition of "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight," along with the perky "If You Were There." Group members Aubrey Johnson and Henry Zant collaborated on "Pickup," "Me and My Love," and "I Don't Want to Play Around." Atlantic did the album a disservice by only rolling out one single before flinging a second album out. However, the group's revolving-door membership may have been the underlying reason. Ace Spectrum's -- whose personnel changed every album -- signature was variety; they employed multiple leads, which kept listening interesting.
