The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I think I got this one for the van on the cover, and the fact it says ‘Gospel’ – but it really isn’t gospel.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Time to take a nostalgia trip back to my childhood, I remember when I was really young this song would come on the radio and my mother and I would always sing along together.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: Basically, a long time ago, long before other certain former Olympic gold medalists were all over the news, Carl Lewis was one of the big shots.

The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: The liner notes are just the song lyrics.
