In terms of the band, Ndugu is back on drums, and Byron Miller on bass. Again, there are a lot of vocals in this record, and is still influenced by EWF. I made appearances on Soul Train and other music TV shows and had moderate success with this record in the US.

Well, my first tour as a solo artist in Japan came about as the result of this tune.

Weird huh? This just doesn't fit my profile. This LP contained no big hit in the US, but made me an International star with my first major hit in Japan with the song "Shine On." The song was basically a dance song that caught on in Japan for some reason, and made it difficult for me to walk down the street in Tokyo without being recognized and followed by young girls. The reason there is such a space between this LP and my solo record proceeding it, is that my production schedule was full, and I was touring with Stanley Clarke.
