Proof that Teddy Pendergrass was a fantastic solo act – and some of the most godlike work that he ever recorded! The record shows Teddy moving into territory all his own – with wonderfully smooth quiet storm arrangements offsetting the deeply soulful vocals he forged with Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes. This one's perhaps the ultimate Teddy Pendergrass album of all time – as it features the incredible track "Come Go With Me", which kicks off the album, and which has some of the most sublime backings we've ever heard on a mellow soul cut! Other killers include "Turn Off The Lights", "Life Is A Circle", and "Do Me". LP, Vinyl record album

The last studio album from Chicago soul legend Walter Jackson – recorded shortly before his untimely death, and offered posthumously as a loving "portrait" to his talents, with a special message on the back written by Jesse Jackson! The feel here is similar to Walter's other Chi-Soul work of the period – strong, mature work done in a style that recalls the work of Teddy Pendergrass – no surprise because Teddy was one of many singers who owed a great debt to Walter for opening the way. The set includes the wonderful groover "Touching In the Dark", plus "If I Had A Chance", "Someone Saved My Life", "It's Cool", and the eerily prescient "I Want To Come Back As A Song".
