Any Way You Like It is the third album by singer Thelma Houston, and her second for the Motown family of labels. This album was a huge success due to the single "Don't Leave Me This Way", her rendition of the Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes hit song. "If It's The Last Thing I Do" also became a hit from Any Way You Like It and the rest of the album holds up quite nicely. This CD was released on 27 March, 1990.
Thelma Houston was one of many soul singers in the 60's and 70's who jumped from label to label hoping to find some kind of success. She released records on Capitol and ABC/Dunhill with regional success, but nothing worth crying home to mama about.

It was a chance meeting in the early 1970's with Motown Records which lead to a deal on the Motown subsidiary Mo-West Records. Like her past work, critics loved it but lack of promotion held her back from becoming a huge star, even though people were comparing her as the next Aretha Franklin.

Constant touring and background vocal work kept the money coming in, but she remained strong. While in California, she met with a series of session musicians, which would lead to an album made for the then-new audiophile market. This album, I've Got The Music In Me, was released by the new Sheffield Lab label. The album would become the label's best seller, and everyone wanted to know who that voice belonged to.

This would lead to her biggest hit and the song she is known for, a cover of "Don't Leave Me This Way". The song itself would become a disco staple, up there with "Last Dance" and "Staying Alive". She continued to record long after her biggest hit, and she still performs to this day.

This album not only features her hit, but shows the enormous talent she has as a singer, proving that she had the potential to become a much bigger star had she not become stuck in the stigma of disco.
