Very strong vocals.This album was produced by Ronnie and Hubert so there is heavy jazz and R&B feel it. A real good one to have in any collection if you dig real music.

You ever heard "Love Comes Easy" by Eloise Laws (1977)? That song is so heavenly and lush music I love listening to it....just a gorgeous song!

speaking of Ronnie Laws,I noticed that his 1980 album 'Every Generation' is on CD.I absolutely love the title track so I'm thinking of getting the entire album.Do you have this one? Are the other tracks just as strong?

Yes I do ..I remember buying the original album.The other songs are good too ...Every Generation is my pick from it. One of my favs is the album Solid Ground....All of that album is strong.

Good album. Great vocals, great grooves (the synths, and horn are crazy). Positive messages, the whole shot. Smooth, soothing soul. Btw, if you play Very Special alone w/ a woman, youll get some very special wink

(Debra shows up here...
and it's like riding on a magic carpet
the music is fuckin beautiful, I ain't lyin)
