After Vincent Montana Jr. (Vince Montana) parted company with Salsoul, this was one of his first LP releases.
It contains some new material and some old or recycled, for example there are cover versions of "I Love Music" (O'Jays) and "Fanfare for the Common Man" (Emerson, Lake and Palmer). "You Know How Good It Is" appeared in a slightly different form on the "Goody Goody" LP, which Montana also produced.
The overriding theme here is Montana's instantly recognisable form of disco, orchestral with vibraphone solos, but also leaning towards the big-band sounds of the past.
