No need to state that Gladys’s voice is the most expressive female voice in Soul music. I dare say that her rich, warm, womanly timbre has still to find its match. And I have yet to hear a vocalist emote with more natural grace than she does. Sighing or soaring, her voice never fails to convince. But to give Gladys all the credit for this fantastic album would be wrong. The Pips provide the flawless canvas on which Gladys applies the full range of her vocal colors, ranging from heavy golden through earthy brown and cool blue to shiny silver. On Here I Am Again,There’s, A Lesson To Be Learned, and the title song All I Need Is Time, Merald “Bubba” Knight, William Guest and Edward Patten demonstrate how perfect vocal harmonizing ties together orchestra and lead singer. By the time All I Need Is Time was released in 1973, the group had recorded for Motown’s SOUL Records for seven years. The SOUL label focused on Motown’s R&B and Soul music instead of its popular crossover sound. Funny enough, however, the title song and my personal favorite Oh What A Love I Have Found have been written by the Folk/Pop songwriter George “Bud” Renau. This fact only proves that tune doesn't really have to be born as a soul tune; it acquires its soulfulness through the delivery and interpretation by the artist.
