1988 studio album by Stacy Lattisaw
Personal Attention is the ninth album by the American singer Stacy Lattisaw , released on January 21, 1988, on Motown Records . It features backing vocals by Johnny Gill , Karyn White , Howard Hewett , David Lasley , and Lynn Davis. It includes a cover of the Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell song, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough ".
The Washington Post wrote that Lattisaw's "voice has shed its teen nasality and coyness for a gorgeous, full-throated adult woman's range, but the singer still needs to find her own distinctive style, as she tries on the successful formulas originated by Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston."[ 1] The Los Angeles Times determined that "tracks like 'Love Town', 'Let Me Take You Down' and 'Every Drop of Your Love' are coming-of-age statements from a pop/soul performer who always had potential, but never pushed it quite this far."[ 2]
