I'm a huge George Benson fan and had no idea he ever worked with Stevie Wonder--or that he was one of 130(!) guest artists on the record.

Good job, Mitchell! I enjoyed this trip down memory lane with this track/album! I was 21 when this was released, and working a 7-midnight shift at an FM rocker in Baton Rouge, LA. We played a few tracks from it, and this album highlights what, to me, was a slice of time never to be seen again.

In the span of one hour, for example, "progressive rock radio" (in general, but certainly at the station I was at) might play such a disparate splay of artists as Stevie, Eagles, Joni, Santana, Jackson Brown, ZZ Top, Alice Cooper, Malo, Linda Ronstadt, Deep Purple, Chicago, Steve Winwood, etc! Nowadays, with no real "hit" terrestrial radio, anymore, most of these artists have (or have had...or WILL have) their own dedicated Sirius/XM satellite channels!

The days of such a variety of music played in one place at one time seem sadly over. Thanks again, Mitchell!
