I like it!
A minute longer on the LP , all at the end :
Good for Clive Davis to have a go with her! He must've been trying to find that right producer for her , her Arista album consists of four!
Her she is under Tony Camillo in a Gloria Gaynor style :
I often wondered why Martha and Shirley Brown were each "one hit wonders" so to speak on Arista. I guess that can only mean that they were given one-album contracts and the label was not satisfied with the results. Too bad because both albums were great.
I love this album. It should have been a big hit. I am so happy to now have this on cd.
Yes, Tom! A great track - the entire LP is a joy - Martha's masterpiece, if you ask me.

I really love Martha's vocal on LOVE STRONG ENOUGH TO MOVE A MOUNTAIN.
Glad you like this track [[and the album) guys. Its a Motown throwback if you ask me! Love it. I also love Martha's version of "[[You're Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher"
Martha sounds best on lower notes. Her high notes and wildly wobbling vibrato of recent years are difficult for me to listen to.
I finally worked out what the opening handclaps in Martha's "Thank You" reminded me of... anyone else hear "Automatically Sunshine"...?
I love the track as well. A great album. Martha's mature masterpiece.
