Never Say You Cant Survive was the last Curtis Mayfield album done in a pure soul vein for the next three years – its style and sound place it in a direct continuity with the rest of his output right back to 1958. The singing on love songs such as Show Me Love, Just Want to Be With You, and When Were Alone is among the most achingly lyrical and passionate of his career. The title track boasts ravishing backup singing by Kitty & the Haywoods (who also perform outstandingly on Im Gonna Win Your Love) and a beautiful arrangement by James Mack. The albums final track, Sparkle (written for Sam OSteens movie of the same name, starring Philip Michael Thomas, Irene Cara, and Lonette McKee), gets one of three distinct treatments that the song ever received (the others from the soundtrack and Aretha Franklins version). Tracks: 01. Show Me Love 5:03 02. Just Want to Be with You 3:04 03. When Were Alone 5:15 04. Never Say You Cant Survive 3:12 05. Im Gonna Win Your Love 4:33 06. All Night Long 4:05 07. When You Used to Be Mine 3:32 08. Sparkle 3:57 09. Show Me Love [single edit] 3:44
