{l}george Duke{/l} Is Originally A Jazz Instrumentalist But In The Late 70s He Did Also The Vocals On Classics Like Reach For It, Don't Let Go, And Follow The Rainbow. But He Didn't Want To Handle All Of The Lead Vocals Himself; So During That Period, His Role Was That Of A Producer/keyboardist/songwriter Who Was More Than Happy To Share The Lead Vocals With Lynn Davis, Josie James, And Others.
davis Enjoyed A Lot Of Exposure On R&b Stations When, In 1979, Duke Featured Her On "i Want You For Myself," The Haunting Single That Made Master Of The Game One Of His Best-selling Albums.
Her Charismatic Performance Makes The Listener Wonder Why She Never Had A Solo Career; The Talent Was Certainly There. This Album Contains A Few Jazz Fusion Instrumentals (including The Latin-flavored "dog-man"), But It's An R&b Release First And Foremost -- And Those Who Like Duke As An R&b Artist Will Find This Album To Be Enjoyable, If Less Than Essential. "i Want You For Myself" And The Mellow, Stylistics-influenced "every Little Step I Take" Are Gems, But Most Of The Other {l}selection{/l}s Are Merely Decent Instead Of Excellent.
