His final definitive Atlantic session. The title track was vintage Pickett -- a driving, syncopated bass and surging horn arrangement punctuated by his aggressive, spiraling lead and concluding with a robust shout and defiant exhortation. That set the stage for some sharp ballads and a couple of other nice uptempo cuts. &Don't Knock My Love, Part 1& was Pickett's last number one R&B hit and a Top 20 pop smash. He left Atlantic shortly after the album peaked on the charts, returning to RCA and never enjoying similar success again.
