"In the sixites, they outsold Miles Davis, in the seventies, they laid down the grooves that would become the foundation of rap when sampling came in; why is there so little on Young Holt available on CD? At least this disc, their final recording is now available and available to remedy this problem. Easily the forerunner of the smooth jazz sound to come, they were once again ahead of their time with some wonderful jazz/pop. If you dug "Soulful Strut" and "Wack Wack", be sure to pick up on this set. The sound is in a different direction, but the vibe is right on."
