Produced by Chicago soul producer Carl Davis,
You Got Me Walking was one of
Jackie Wilson's best albums. As usual with Davis/
Wilson collaborations, Motown's studio band
the Funk Brothers were on hand to lay down their tight grooves. Written by
the Chi-Lites'
Eugene Record, the funky, loping single "You Got Me Walking" strutted up to number 22 R&B on Billboard's charts in early 1972. An earlier single, the tender "Love Is Funny That Way," charted in late 1971.
Wilson's gospel roots are on full display on
Record's rollicking, honking "The Fountain." Other standouts are the majestic "Forever and a Day," the swinging, brassy "Hard to Get a Thing Called Love," and the charting single "The Girl Turned Me On."
