Remastered reissue of this 1982 album from the Southern Soul/Dance diva including bonus tracks. McCrae is a gutsy Southern Soul diva with a particular affinity for dance tracks. Along with her husband George ('Rock Your Baby'), Gwen was part of the Miami-based T.K. Records stable, which laid a great deal of groundwork for the Disco explosion in the mid '70s. On My Way, released in 1982, contained her club hit 'Keep The Fire Burning', a staple of the UK rare groove scene.

Sweet beautiful soul from one of the all-time greats, "Let's Straighten It Out" features Gwen in a more mellow soul vein-copping a sweet bit of funky keyboard work from Latimore, whose great track she redoes as the title cut. Other cuts include "Cradle Of Love", "Your Love Is Worse Than A Cold Love", and "Early Morning Love". Even better is the great album "Melody Of Life". The album has more of a modern soul sound than her other albums for the label, thanks to some sweet mellow production work by Betty Wright. The cuts are great, with a stone-cold mellow groovin' sound that shows that Gwen was still working on her style, changing it and expanding it past the fame of her big mid-70s recordings. Titles include "All This Love I'm Givin", "I Can Only Think Of You", "I Found A Love", "The Melody Of Life", and "The Joy".
