All I can say, absolutely, entirely, without a doubt that Carl Thomas and his album Emotional was and still is considered by me as another one of the greatest albums of all time!!! When I started hearing him on the radio, I can't remember what song I heard first, he impressed me so that after I left work I immediately went to the music store and bought the CD before I went home!!!! It was a great discussion!!! I was so captured and excited about what I heard I say to this day it was a feeling in my spirit and soul that was speaking to me and saying go get this CD TODAY!!! I bought it, went home, played it and it became one of the best CD'S/ ALBUMS I own!!! From beginning to end, every song, one after another was great!!! I learned a long time ago that a good/great album/cd is when you play it and every song is great!!! You can just let it play without stopping all the way to the last song!!! This was one of those!!!! I can honestly say I love every song on it and Carl Thomas's voice is amazing!!! When Valentines Day came, I was determined to put the song, "My Valentine" on my answering machine!!!! I kept telling any and everybody I knew to get his CD and how great it was!!! EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING, AMAZING CD/ALBUM CARL THOMAS!!!! You deserve to be acknowledged and considered as a great artist!!!!!👏👏🎉🎉🎉🤍🤍🙂
