It features a mix of five Manchester originals and six outside compositions, showcasing her versatility with a glamorous image crafted by photographer George Hurrell. Notable singles include \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eIf This Is Love\u003c\/span\u003e, which resonated with adult contemporary audiences, and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eLovers After All\u003c\/span\u003e, a duet with Peabo Bryson that marked Manchester’s first entry into the top 50 Soul Chart. The album’s lack of a major hit single limited its commercial impact, but its feminist themes and Manchester’s powerful vocals remain historically significant in her discography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793584615705,"sku":"AL-9533","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-melissa_manchester-for_the_working_girl.jpg?v=1783553257","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/al-9533","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
