Shirley’s fourth Malaco album, Diva of Soul (# 67-r&b), was released in 1995, and this time there are only two producers on the set – Shirley Brown and Bobby Manuel.

The CD opens with a catchy and loose mover titled You Ain’t Got to Hide Your Man. John Ward: “again, me and Earl Randle wrote that, gave it to Shirley and she liked it a lot.” Bobby: “I did that record on her right before Jim retired.” If you’re Weak enough is a powerful, big-voiced deepie. John: “That was originally written by Ollie Nightingale (Hoskins) and myself at my house. Ollie had the title and I sat down at the piano and we worked it up. I think I gave it to Shirley sort of incomplete and asked her to add some lyrics to it, which she did. I really liked that song. In fact, somewhere I have a tape of Ollie singing it.” There are two more songs that John co-wrote. John: (the uptempo) “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth is and (the slow) Better You Go Your Way were both written at Shirley’s house with all three of us (Shirley, John and Earl) there around the piano.”

YOU AIN’T WOMAN ENOUGH TO TAKE MY MAN
Shirley wrote by herself two intense and pleading soul ballads, One More Time and Sprung on His Love, and Bobby became his composing partner on an average, programmed beater titled Good Loving Man but also on a thrilling slowie called You Ain’t Woman Enough to Take My Man. Bobby: “I am proud of You Ain’t Woman Enough. That sold 50,000 in six weeks. It’s one of the best records as far as the collaboration she and I did. It’s a great record. It was an answer to some rap song that was out there. They were using Woman to Woman, so Malaco wanted an answer to that song. I said ‘let us go and write a real song. Give us time to write a decent song’.” Amazingly, as a 7” vinyl single the song charted in May 1995 and reached # 80-r&b.
Leftover Love is a machine-driven beat ballad written by Rich Cason, and the only cover this time is a slow delivery of Joe Seneca’s Talk to Me. Bobby: “She may have wanted to do that. Usually I wasn’t a big fan of covers.” Shirley uses a monologue in the beginning, and really takes the song to church towards the end.
With seven gorgeous ballads, Diva of Soul really is a magnificent album. Bobby: “There was some magic on there. We had a lot of freedom – Shirley and myself – and we felt free. There weren’t co-producers or anybody else. We just felt unrestricted, and I think it shows on that record.” SB
