Named after their million-selling salute to women, Give Your Baby a Standing Ovation is a tight, nine-song creation of the legendary Don Davis. A mellow "You Don't Care" provides a good vehicle for the guys to display their blending skills; Marvin Junior's ear-popping baritone enhances the biting lyrics. They shine on "Closer," a smooth, aggressive number with a slick production; it could have been a hit, but Cadet decided to slap it on the back of "Give Your Baby a Standing Ovation." They update "The Glory of Love" in a '70s Dells' style, and do a credible job with "Ain't No Sunshine." For some reason this LP has never been easy to find.
