    Notes:

     

    I wasn't tied to Acid Jazz records and whilst on tour with Lisa Stansfield, her manager, and Big Life records owner, the late-Jazz Summers, was impressed with my 'Rare Groove' knowledge and asked me to make a record for him (plus he offered me a great publishing deal) and I always wanted to do an update of this Leo's Sunshipp classic. It wasn't a cover version, I actually tried to recreate the original. The musicians, you will notice, are a mixture of Lisa Stansfield's band and the James Taylor Quartet with James' then vocalist, Noel McKoy. I personally feel that Noel is one of the greatest singers ever - full stop. I was very proud of the Latin House B-side (which didn't do much) and it featured the amazing Trombonist Joe De Jesus. This 12" almost got me into the National Pop charts believe it or not.
