"With singer, songwriter and producer Sam Dees at local [Alabama] label Clintone (...), [Rozetta Johnson] delivered a string of future Southern soul classics including the US R&B hits 1970's A Woman's Way and 1971's Who Are You Gonna Love (Your Woman Or Your Wife). The first is a master class in no nonsense straight-talking, think Shirley Brown, Millie Jackson ... The second is the epitome of cheating soul and one of the most intense vocal performances you will ever hear. "A Woman's Way - The Complete 1963-1975" rounds up her major recordings; other highpoints include her rousing cover of To Love Somebody and the punchy Otis-like funk of Chained And Bound".
