This is like a manual for a westcoast album.The sound ,the production,Steve Gadd on drums,The fluffy Graydon guitars and Steve George,Richard Page & Bill Champlin on backvox. And did I mention Abe Laboriel playing tastefull bass And David Foster and Tom Canning playing on that particulary good sounding Fender Rhodes that Graydon always rented from Leeds Rental Service in L.A.I read somewhere that he even could postpone a session if that Fender Rhodes wasn´t available .What can possibly go wrong? 1981....still some years left of the golden era of westcoast music.This is an album that everybody MUST have !

A masterpiece. Check out "My Old Friend" by Page/George - it doesn't get any sexier than that..

Classic Westcoast, great production! Awesome harmony vocals! and the cream of session guys. No one can say it better than Micke engstrom, see review above.

I guess this was the best of the four albums Jay Graydon produced for Al Jarreau in the 1980s.
