Album Notes & Community Reviews
Also arranged by Glenn Osser, the record was constructed as a thematic, geographical concept album exploring international locales through song. It continued the label's concerted, highly orchestrated effort to mold the rhythm and blues star into a sophisticated, middle-of-the-road crooner.
