Unknown as a solo in the UK before "Love Won't Let Me Wait" a huge single here and around the world, Harris had spent 3 years, from 1971, in the Delfonics, a group who are a key part of the development ofthe smooth soul sound of Philadephia. Whilst his tenue in the band was after their run of major hits ("Ready or Not", "La La Means I Love You" being massive poo as well as RnB hits) the band's contiuning collabratons with Philly musicians and pproductions teams set this solo outing up perfectly.
This album is Philly soul at it's best. Produced by Bobby Eli and Ron "Have Mercy" Kersey the participants are the cream of that smooth soul sound. Yes people would later call this DISCO and you could dance to it but that description alone sells it short. Even the version of the Sinatra standard "My Way" carries itself well. "Two Wrongs" and "Loving You Is Mellow" keep to the the groove and the album works as a package really well.
