All In the Name of Love

While the timeless radio ballad "Always" is the centerpiece of this album (not to mention a few of the more weepy wedding receptions out there), Atlantic Starr's 1987 effort, All in the Name of Love, does feature some solid additional work from the longstanding urban contemporary group. The uplifting "Let the Sun In" features the smooth lead vocals of David Lewis and Wayne Lewis, and percolates with lightly funky bass and inspired percussion. Meanwhile, "You Belong With Me" takes a darker lyrical turn, but is still a solid slice of sanitized, late-'80s urban radio groove. The album could have used more vocals from the talented Barbara Weathers, but it's still a well-appointed record that offers fans much more than just the Whitney-flavored single.
