I find her vocal on Reconsider Me to be top-notch. To my ears I can firmly place the vocal in Stevie's 84' to 85 era. When I heard it for the 1st time on the Enchanted box set, It made me long for the vocals of her heyday.
I think the song would have been a hit for Stevie in the mid 80's especially if it were the 1st release....It would have been more of a classic than TTM.
But after Jimmy left the sessions for RAL in 84', the recordings took a very different direction and the release was pushed back a year, I do not see Reconsider Me fitting in very well w/the final RAL release.
