    This is one hell of a record. "The Shadow Do!" gets a lot of love (rightfully so), but I would argue that this is the best Mizell collaboration in Bartz's catalog. Syreeta adds a lot to the proceedings. Great sounding pressing, too.

      I have long believed that lead vocal on music is my sanctuary was sung by Sylvia Striplin
      Buts it’s Syreeta
      Love his performance, so smooth...

      Classic Capitol Track every jazz funk collector needs !

        Every song on this record is a wonderful listen. Beautiful, jazzy funk that can uplift anyone to a great mood. I recommend playing this record on a beautiful evening when the sun is about to go down for ultimate experience. Just sit back and vibe out to the fullest.
