The Power of Music was the Miracles' follow-up to their hit album City of Angels, which included the number one pop hit "Love Machine." While City of Angels, produced by Freddie Perren, was a concept album with a clear theme (a look at the seamier side of L.A. and Hollywood), The Power of Music was produced by groupmember Warren "Pete" Moore and seemed somewhat muddled. Though it did managed to chart number 38 on the R&B and included a few nice tracks, such as "Let the Children Play," "Love to Make Love," and the slow jam "You Need a Miracle." The latter two are on the 2002 Polygram International CD Essential Collection.
