Born to Do It
"I got something to say," croons David on the opening "Fill Me In," and then the child/man/devil curls up on your shoulder with 12 temptations to the hot tub. From the syncopated refrains of "Fill Me In" to the sweet-talking spin on Sammy Davis Jr. of "Booty Man," it's smoother than a Cutty and water. Then the "boings" sound on the two-step classic "Rewind." The best soul album of 2001?
