For me it wasn't that hard to forget (along with the following album Everybody's Dancin').
Both were precursors to the addition of vocalist JT and the New Edition of Kool & The Gang. Sorry but i'm a serious hard-core fan of the 1969-1976 material. tA  Tribal Disorder

this is the time period in which I am diving head first just had a chat with Cinnie about how I was familiar with tunes like "Joanna", "Cherish", "Celebration", etc etc... but had NO IDEA they could bring the FONK/JAZZ as well... when I found out it was actually Kool & The Gang that did "Summer Madness" I was like  because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." | |

Their groove is so strong you could wreck." ~James Brown ...Quite an endorsement on that time period. tA Tribal Disorder

Glad to hear that. 
They weren't bad albums but definitely transition records. You must admit that on those 2 albums some of the raw edges were getting some serious burnishing. Removing a bad example edit. tA Tribal Disorder

Love the title tune... ...A little slick and goofy but still a driving track.
