Johnnie Taylor - Just Ain't Good Enough (1982) [2004] CD-Rip

"Just Ain't Good Enough" is an album Taylor released on the short-lived Beverly Glen label in 1982. The record spawned two R&B hits for Taylor - "What About My Love" and "I'm So Proud" - and peaked at #19 on the R&B charts. It's a solid effort that fits sound and style wise alongside his six albums for Columbia. Taylor, dissatisfied with the label's promotion of the record, would soon leave for Malaco, but this is the missing link in the chain, and an album well worth hearing.
