Album Notes & Community Reviews

The sensational debut from the multinational funk outfit, heavily guided by the brilliant songwriting of keyboardist Rod Temperton. The LP perfectly balances unstoppable, floor-filling disco grooves with pristine, highly melodic smooth soul ballads. Featuring the enduring global smash hits 'Boogie Nights' and 'Always and Forever', the record stands as a towering achievement of the 1970s R&B landscape.
