This one's a real shift from her earlier jazz-based work, or her recent recordings for Verve – and a sweet funky fusion album that
Dee Dee recorded for Elektra in the late 70s. The set was produced by Stanley Clarke, and has a soul/
fusion sound that's not that different than his own work of the time, and which works very well with
Dee Dee's sweet vocal approach. Players include Bobby Lyle, Ronnie Foster, George Duke, and other strong 70s fusion players – and overall, the record's probably
Dee Dee's best non straight jazz album of the 70s. Tracks include "Sweet Rain", "Open Up Your Eyes", "Just Family", "Melody Maker", and "Children Are The Spirit (Of The World)".
