Genre: Pop

2 out of 5

Highlights:

A Little Tenderness

Did you enjoy “Morning Train”? Then you will enjoy “A Little Tenderness”. Cuz, that’s basically the same kind of thing. It’s candy. And some candy is delicious, like, say, Snickers Bars or Reese’s Pieces and some are not to your liking, like, I dunno, Nerd Rope. But some people love Nerds and others hate chocolate. And still others list Zagnut or Zero bars as their faves and that’s a good thing that those candy bars are out there for them. 

We all know that the Wunderbar or Starbar from Cadbury is the greatest candy bar of all time but, you can eat any of these on the morning train and be fine. 

We cover Sheena because she made a bit of a splash in the early 80s. This is a good record to prove that she should be excluded from future reviewing. 

The best song here is the one that wasn’t on the original release. It’s the theme to For Your Eyes Only and, tbh, I don’t know if it’s good or if it’s just been in my life forever.
