One of the most compelling later albums on Philly International – a killer mix of jazzy numbers that have a very different style than most of the other Philly work at the time! Even though Leon Huff had been banging around in soul music for about 15 years – most famously as half of the Philly soul superteam Gamble & Huff – this 1980 LP was his first effort as an artist, instead of producer. In Chicago, the big highlight is the jazzy stepping track "I Ain't Jivin, I'm Jammin" – which grooves along with a sweet two-step piano sound that's still quite popular on the dancefloor – but the record is filled with nice tracks including "Tight Money", which was done earlier by ReubenWilson, the funky "Your Body Won't Move If You Can't Feel The Groove", the breezy instrumental "No Greater Love", "Tasty", "This One's For Us" and "Latin Spirit".

(Cover has edge wear, bumped corners, and is bent at the spine.)
An obscure one from vocalist Joel Smith – a record that features some pretty hip players, including Richard Wyands on piano and Ernie Hayes on keyboards – both of whom handle arrangements – plus organ from ReubenWilson, vibes from Vince Bell, and drums from Bill English!
