Top notch music from the peak years of LP production. The final track on side 2 called "My Mood" has been used as the theme song & credits music for the Washington DC Channel 4 Local News on NBC affiliate WRC-TV since the 1970s.

Style Soul ?! There's barely singing on this record and the delivey is not in a Soul manner.

Really great stuff here! My middle school marching band teacher at A.A.T. had us playing K-Gee from this work. Cheers to Mrs. B.Horst for that. Love has no time or place ; )
