...than a dozen years as the soul of soul, presents a rather touched-up portrait today. His once rough edges are smoothed out, but he is still one of the most convincing singers on records. He inflects his lines freshly, and with faultless timing underlines every nuance-whether in warm pop like Yesterdays or pale blues like Never Say Now. As a member of the interracial musical exchange, Charles now borrows the sweetly lyrical Eleanor Rigby from his long-term debtors, the Beatles...

Under a keeper's warm and sympathetic care, Hediger explains, they gradually shed their innate fear of man and begin to accept him as an equal in every respect.

Mother Portnoy is a vibrant orange-haired vision who has never given up trying to smother her son in the warm pudding of her ample bosom. She surpasses the grotesque stereotype simply because Roth plays her absolutely straight, making her totally and comically unconscious of the unconscious...
