ABOUT THIS ITEM

A jazz-funk / boogie-soul masterpiece, this is the only album issued under Blackman's (keyboard player with Parliament, EWF and Roy Ayers) own name for many many years, and a famous little set that's been sampled endlessly over the years, and for good reason! The vibe here is one that's barely been matched again - a blend of 70s fusion, bassy funk, and even tighter riffing - all put together with a greater depth and sense of soul than most other records of its type. Blackman's a GRP contemporary of Bernard Wright, Tom Browne, and Weldon Irvine - and there's bits of all their sound in the work here, but somehow Don does it even better, hitting these grooves, notes, and lines that seem to fall from the heavens. Includes the to-die-for boogie anthem "Heart's Desire". Essential.
