"I've been meaning to rate this album for quite sometime so, here I am. It's a masterpiece. All of the tracks are great. I have just about all of Grover's albums and for those of you looking to add him to your collection, this would be a great addition. The man and his music have so captivated my own life that I'm at a loss for words as I'm typing this review. He was simply the best. Yes, there are many, many Sax players out there that are great but it's something about Grover that made you feel like he was a close personal friend. The man and his music are sorely missed."

Long ago and far away

"I was on the plane for my study in the US back then (some years ago). On the short stop in Singapore I bought this album, another album by Grover called "Come Morning" and Billy Joel's "River of Dreams". These three albums accompanied me on the way to my destiny wherever that was since I had never thought I would be so far away and for so long. I was also excited of what was coming for me. Remember, an 18 years old college student never have an answer!Fantastic art cover (so does Come Morning), smooth sounds and most importantly the final tune called "Cassie & Co". As a soundtrack for a tv series that I never saw, it captured what I felt about the longing of home. It was sad, chilly but also comforting that somebody out there knew exactly what I felt. The experience of smelling the autumn air, and the taste of September wind just brought back all those memories. Most importantly out of nowhere, I dug this album yesterday and as I was laying on my bed, eyes closed, drifted in pure bliss. I thought about those school breaks and how often I played this album. I realize how beautiful it is. I also realize how I miss those days.It's too bad when I looked up this album on Amazon, nobody wrote a review so I shared my feelings about this album. Sometimes good things will come for those who wait, because deep inside we always know that "The Best Is Yet To Come"!"

"I found this album in a thrift shop for $1.00 in mint condition

I own most of Grover's work with the exception of Mister Magic.

Inner City Blues is my favorite though, it rivals the original.

This record, The Best Is Yet To Come isn't properly titled.

"It just doesn't get any better than this," is what I said after I listened to the title track. Patti Labelle and Grover sound heavenly. This is definitly one of the jewels Grover left us.

It made me realize how great he was and how much he'll be missed.

The album sleeve is a fantastic photo of him worthy to be framed."
