This is an awesome album! It really captures the fun and good times of the seventies. I first heard "Touching In the Dark" in a Police Story movie: "Chance To Live" with David Cassidy. Another outstanding track is "Street Man" with its gritty rhythm and beat and soaring string section it really gets you to think about the charector in the song who's the neighborhood drug pusher. "Make It Last" is a haunting melodic piece which is up-beat and a great solo I believe courtesy of Jay Graydon who guested on the album. This group is so much more than their association with Donna Summer. Their harmonies and songs are top-notch west coast pop-rock with a hint of r&b,disco and funk! Highly recommended since I actually own three vinyl copies and I will be pursuing a cd version!
