Alton McClain and her backing group Destiny (D'Marie Warren and Robyrda Stiger) hailed from Los Angeles, and this was their debut LP.

It's much sought after for the lead track "Crazy Love," which is an absolute classic soul/disco song. The 12 inch single of this (the same duration and mix as on the LP) regularly changes hands for high prices on auction sites.

"It Must Be Love" is another popular disco song by the group, and "Sweet Temptation" was also uptempo. The remainder of the songs on this LP are soul/ballad and even gospel (Angela Winbush's "The power of love").
