"LeRoy Hutson is one of the great songwriters, singers, producers in soul muisc - a superstar! Or at least he should've been. Over the years he's been getting more and more recognition for albums such as this, which he thoroughly deserves as this is one-helluvan-album. Released on Curtis Mayfield's Curtom Records in 1975 (LeRoy replaced Curtis in the Impressions before the inevitable move to go solo), this is possibly LeRoy's best LP as it contains the all-time classics 'All Because Of You' and 'Lucky Fellow' which are bona-fide soul treasures! But the whole thing is great and will appeal to lovers of real soul, rare groove, funk, and great quality music! In a word (well, a few words): YOU NEED THIS ALBUM!"

Time less soul

"I've own this vinyl since it was released in 1975, each time I play it, there is always a new discover. I am intrigued how much RARE talent Leroy Hutson possess. This composer, writer and musician is extremely under rated.

He presents the complete package of true uncommercialized soul, everything from the music, his vocals and lyrics in every cut blend without any abrasion. You can feel it all comes from his heart and soul. This is true timelessness for many years to come.

His songs encompasses jazz (Cool out) with a type of modern dowopp with words that describe everyday relationships in all levels of togetherness.

It's difficult to choose a favorite, but it would have to be "Can't stay away" (I'm a sucker for "healing songs.") This does not diminish in any way the high caliper of the rest of the cuts.

This is a must for any soul lover's collection without hesitation.
