This is a nice album, good Jazz album. Not Disco. BUT, in 1974, on BROADWAY the big song was SUCH A NIGHT. And no-one sang it better then ESTHER PHILLIPS. If you were a deejay anywhere near Broadway, you had to play that song. It was very danceable, and enjoyable. On my scale from 1-10, it gets a 4.
