Album Notes & Community Reviews
Collaborating with renowned producer Russ Titelman, the seasoned rock vocalist achieved unparalleled commercial success with this heavily synthesized, immaculately produced record. The inclusion of drum programming, prominent horn sections, and an uplifting pop-soul aesthetic cemented Winwood as a dominant force in 1980s adult contemporary radio.
