    Laid down the groove for x% of Will Smith's top hits...and never smacked anyone.

      A slab of ignited funk, lounge soul & stratospheric disco music history. The 'family' had the voice, presence & songs. Of course, Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards are all over this. If you don't like this, its your problem. Sassy.

        Even after its 40th anniversary, it's still groovy enough for your disco/funk record collection!

              One of the all time great LP's with at least 5-6 dynamite singles on it and great production as always from Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. I am very lucky to own a copy that has been signed by all four sisters...RIP Joni...
