All Things in Time is an album by American R&B singer Lou Rawls, released in June 1976 on the Philadelphia International Records label. The album includes Rawls's most famous song, "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine".
Background Coming after a career lull, All Things in Time was Rawls's first album for PIR. At the time, he was the first artist to sign with PIR, after having already enjoyed a substantial recording career and chart success with other record labels. Recorded at Sigma Sound Studios and produced by Gamble & Huff, Bunny Sigler and Dexter Wansel, All Things in Time became an immediate success on the back of its lead single, "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine".
Reception
All Things in Time was highly rated by critics upon release, due to the quality and variety of its material, production standards and Rawls' vocal performances. It is often cited as the best album of Rawls' tenure with PIR. In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Jason Elias described it as "not only one of Rawls' best albums, it's also one of the finest from Philadelphia International".
The album was Rawls' third R&B chart-topper (the first since 1966), and reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200. "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" gave Rawls the biggest hit of his career, topping Billboard'''s R&B Songs chart and Adult Contemporary chart, and making No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
