Storm in My Soul were the only ones that could have caused any impact as singles. I enjoyed some of the others [[Facsimile and My Man come to mind) but they would not have had any success at all on the charts. As for Imagination and Peculiar, those two both strayed too far from the original and just did not grab me at all.
But overall a great album. I remember at the time thinking it was odd that she put Stand By Me on the B side of each of the first two singles but did not put it on the album. It was a pretty good song also.
By the way, Wild Night was included on a movie soundtrack and got some extra exposure but right now I can't remember which movie it was. Big Chill maybe????
