1976 studio album by Lou Rawls
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".
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".[1]

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.[citation needed] It is often cited as the best album of Rawls' tenure with PIR.[citation needed] 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".[2]
The album was Rawls' third R&B chart-topper (the first since 1966), and reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200.[3] "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.[3]
