Knight also hooked up with Aaron Zigman and produced some rnb hits in the late 80's. The few I own (and like):-

"power of persuation" Pointer Sisters
"Save the best for me" Bunny Debarge
"say it again" Jermaine Stewart

And no doubt a few more songs that I own that were produced by him (and Zigman) that I cant think of right now.

Not so long ago,I found his first solo album on vinyl....the album with "Overnight Sensation".There's another great jam on that album..."Joy Ride".

"She's Got To Be (A Dancer)" was a sho-nuff jam that a lot of folks don't remember until they hear it again.
