History

The album peaked at #38 on the R&B albums chart. It produced the hit singles "Your Personal Touch", "High Horse", and "Slow Down". The album was digitally remastered and reissued on CD with bonus tracks in 2008 by Blue Bird Records and again in 2014 by Funky Town Grooves Records. The latter was issued on two CDs, adding the non-LP track "Take A Chance" (the b-side of both the 7" and 12" versions of "High Horse") and "Give It Up" from the soundtrack of the film "Fright Night", which was also released as a single in 1985.
