Despite its title, The Return of the Magnificent 7 didn't simply offer more of
the same: in fact, it took a considerably different tack than the debut,
emphasizing new songs instead of covers. This is a sharp move, since the
Supremes and the Four Tops didn't quite seem like an oldies act in hiding when
they were singing new songs with modern productions courtesy of Clay McMurray,
Henry Cosby, Johnny Bristol, Bobby Taylor, and Ashford & Simpson. That's a lot
of producers for an 11-track album, but this isn't a case of two many cooks
spoiling a soup: all the producers are complementary, with the glitzy,
fuzz-toned '70s cuts from McMurray sitting nicely along the lightly funky "One
More Bridge to Cross" and proto-quiet storm "I'm Glad About It" from Ashford &
Simpson, and Taylor's deeply soulful "What Do You Have to Do (To Stay on the
Right Side of Love)." Although there are no real knockouts here, the songs are
all solid, adding up to a thoroughly underrated record and the best duets set
the Supremes and the Four Tops recorded.
