From John Ridley’s superb Sir Shambling site…

In 1969 he was in Memphis recording tracks which would form the wonderful "Memphis High" set with Willie Mitchell. And it is clear from the first sides released that Johnny was completely at home in the Hi sound setting - and this isn't really surprising as he'd always been a southern styled singer throughout his career. Also who wouldn't feel at home with one of the greatest producers and finest sets of musicians in the US? Among the best tracks were the superb deep soul of his own Don't Take It So Hard and George Jackson's "Nothing Can Touch This Love" on which Johnny's wholeheartedly committed vocals are outstanding. The gospel fire of "God Is Love" makes even a stone cold atheist like me think twice about religion such is the impact it has. Sadly thanks to Epic's poor marketing the LP vanished without trace at the time, but over the years as southern soul enthusiasts raved about it the album has become a highly sought after item
