1976, THIS WHOLE ALBUM IS FANTASTIC, BOY DOES IT TAKE ME BACK, SO MANY MEMORIES. I WAS OVER SEAS IN THE NAVY AT THE TIME. I PLAYED THE CASSETTE TAPE OVER & OVER AGAIN. I CAN REMEMBER GOING TO THE BACK OF THE SHIP WHEN WE WERE OUT TO SEA, LOOKING AT THE STAR'S ON A CLEAR NIGHT CRYING THINKING ABOUT MY LIFE AND ALL I HAD BEEN THROUGH. WONDERING IF I 'LL MAKE IT IN LIFE AND WHAT WAS IN STORE FOR ME IN THE FUTURE. I THANK "THE MOST HIGH" FOR PROTECTING ME ALL THESE YRS. MUSIC PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN MY LIFE, IN MY TRANSFORMATION . I LISTENED TO A LOT OF EARTH WIND & FIRE, DONALD BYRD & MINNIE RIPERTON. THE PERFECT ANGEL ALBUM ALSO WAS HELPFUL FOR MY SPIRIT. THANK YOU DR DONALD BYRD FOR YOUR GIFT OF MUSIC, MAY YOU REST IN PERFECT PEACE🎵🎵🎶🎶🎼🎺🎤
