Brown overcame an alcohol problem that had dogged him throughout most of
his stardom. He says he achieved that victory as a result of his love for his son, Acme,
and his wife, Sheila. As a therapeutic exercise he co-wrote "Wine Into
Water."
"It sat on the shelf for three years because I was ashamed to sing
it," he recalls. "I was worried about what my mama and daddy would think. But
the first time I sang it live, I got a standing ovation at the first chorus. And then that
night it started – at the autograph table people were walking up to me crying and
telling me about their daddy, brother, uncle, sister, cousin. I knew I’d touched a nerve.
So every night I started telling my story and then I’d sing the song."
"Everywhere I sing it, people spontaneously stand up. Bunches of
people started telling me they’d taped it and played it for their loved ones who have been
battling alcoholism. This song has taken on a life of its own."
Couple that spirit-shaking composition with such performances as the
groove-a-minute bopper "Accept My Love," the softly romantic
country ballad "A Better Word for Love" and the horn-punctuated
rocker "Livin’ On Love" and you have an album as distinctive
and as special as the man himself. Long may he sing!
