produced by Tommy LiPuma and recorded by Bruce Botnick at Capitol Studios, Hollywood in December 1970 (tracks 1,4,7) & at The Record Plant, Hollywood in February 1971 (tracks 2,3,6). The album features a major contribution from songwriter and guitarist Bobby Womack, including the original version of Womack's "Breezin'", that George Benson would have a major hit with in 1976 (also produced by LiPuma).
