Thank you so much for putting this album on YouTube‼︎
The album war first introduced in 1980 by Mr. M. Smith, the singer-songwriter who plays an acoustic guitar on some tracks in it, e.g. "Better Days" , "Without Your Love", who came to performe for us, the students of Black Hills State Univ. in S. Dakota.
He was a very nice happy guy! Told me he grew up with the guys in D.C.
Also told me the album was produced by the legend Mr. George Duke, which was so striking.
Went to D.C. when collage was over, and met him. He took me to their live gig and introduced them to me.
They also were very nice guy, esp. the leader, singer bassist, Mr. Joe Hall! He talks mildl, and looks so sharp, with long slender leggs.
The music, was undeniably superb!
After leaving D.C., I went NYC, and at a record shop, found and bought this album, brought back to my home in Japan.
But got rid of all my LPs for switching listening device to CD player.
Never found this album on CD.
Now I can again listen to and enjoy it on YouTube reminiscing about great time with those fine musicians.
Thanks again‼︎
