    An excellent set of soul & boogie - perfect for a down tempo set of relaxing music.

      One of the best R&B albums of the 80's and one of the most soulful for sure. ed by Bernard Jackson's remarkable vocal performance, this record is pure class from start to finish. You'll find a lot of captivating ballads here, but let's not forget the mid-tempo classic Happy with its crisp 808-driven beat and the even more wonderful Feels So Good, an upbeat and punchy final number backed up by a gorgeous melody. Simply flawless.
