A fairly good budget-priced collection,
Pledging My Love contains 13 romantic and seductive '70s soul tracks, ranging from the gorgeous (
the O'Jays) to the explicit (
Johnnie Taylor). Since it's arranged thematically, it can't be much more than a collection of good songs; there's no sense of history or chronology on the disc, nor are there any incisive line notes. Nevertheless, the songs are strong, with only a few exceptions, making it a nice purchase for casual fans.
