Three albums on two CDs, Narada Michael Walden’s ‘Dance Of Life’, ‘Victory’ and ‘Confidence’ were released on Atlantic in 1979, 1980 and 1982 and kicks off with the emphatic ‘You’re Soo Good’ followed quickly by the heavy boogie groove of the massive, instantly catchy ‘I Should Have Loved Ya’. ‘Crazy For Ya’ is a killer mid-tempo dance while ‘Tonight I’m Alright’ is another strong uptempo moment. ‘I Want You’ is a sparkling dancer primed for the more discerning disco floors of 1980 while ‘I’m Ready’ is a slick club-soul killer and takes us into 1982 with a tune that sounds earlier. Randy Jackson lends his pen to the slap-boogie groover “You Ought to Love Me” while steppers will be kept happy with the soaring ‘Holiday’. Good to explore these three albums in this way: lots of high points.
