"This is pretty different from the African albums I’ve listened to. It doesn’t sit under the folk and pop umbrellas that tend to dominate.

"Although not my favorite record of Ray, this was a real turning point in his career, showing that he could deliver memorable albums, just as well as memorable singles."  Reply
