"Please do not let the title of my review mislead you. I have always had the utmost respect for Mr. Connors' work and have admired his inclusion of many up and coming artists on his many projects. This project is fabulous. It is smooth, sensual, has flawless vocals, (most notably, Peabo Bryson's searing cover of "My Starship" and Lisa Fisher's positively FLAWLESS reading of "Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time?")and first-rate production values. Some seem to feel that the many guests overpower the production expertise of Mr. Connors....I submit that this is exactly why this is such an excellent CD...he ranks among the best like Quincy Jones in bringing together a myriad of artists to create a cohesive work. There is not one dud on the project and you will be listening to it over and over again. Other such stalwart guests include Norman Brown, Gerald Albright, Lisa Fisher as well as the much-missed Angela Bofill. Top-notch all the way!!!!!!!!!"

A Quiet Storm legend.

"Because he has been responsible for bringing many noteworthy solo singers (Phyllis Hyman, Michael Henderson, Jean Carne, Eleanor Mills, etc.) to the forefront prior to their going for sucessful solo careers, Norman Connors' albums have'nt gotten the recognition they deserve by many. Do yourself a big favor and get this CD -it's quite simply one of his very best! Guests like Lisa Fischer, Peabo Bryson and Angela Bofill make it even better."
