"Sometimes some of the best jazz albums only have just a few tracks on them, for some that is not a good thing. However this albums is outstanding if only for his initially smooth yet flowing and passionate rendition of Michael Jackson's

"I Can't Help It" and the silky smooth and soothing "Bright Moments" justifies the purchace alone...yes this album is the Business folks make no mistake about that! If you own a copy then you will already know just how good this album is.

Sadly its rare and out of print, it was reissued by Motown some seven years ago but it has since disappeared again - a friend of mine searched until he paid $168 for a good copy from Europe in '03 after listening to my mint original '82 copy on wax!"

Nice Cuts, But Hardly Worth the Price--Buy the Record

"I'll agree with previous poster that the rendition of "I Can't Help It" is a tender, yet rhythmic cut. Yet, its hard to justify any song for the current price of $124 for the CD. I had the album and using a simple sound card and some $20 software, ripped to a wave file, and converted it to an mp3 in about an hour."

One very nice recording, but the price is way too steep.

"I too am a fan of this Grover Washington jazz recording and would love to have it on compact disc. But the price that they are asking for here is totally steep. I do own this title on vinyl and the song "I Can't Help It" is a timeless classic. Once the price comes down to say, a good 50 or 70 bucks, i would consider buying sho nuff then. But hardly now at these prices."
