Early 80's Classic...........2006-01-26

I first heard this album on WHUR back in 80-81.Not sure of the year may have been even 83 or 84.I do remember was in High School when I purchased the album.I'm glad it was finally reissued on CD.This is one of those "sleeper classics" from that era.

The title cut is a bomb(i.e.good),as is "My Turn To Love You"."Just Say The Word" was the cut given the most rotation back in the day.And "Didn't Know About Love",OMG that song still makes my eyes water!

The album rocked back then and over 20 years later it still does the same.Put it in rotation with a Brothers Johnson,TConnection,or Rufus CD,it'll work out fine!

So all you whiners stop crying, because he did "Peanut Butter" and that surely wasn't a jazz track.Just because an artist "thinks out of the box" for a minute he has to get labeled.The man was ahead of the times.I guarantee if some of these songs are played on your local smooth jazz station listeners will run to buy it.

To the jazz purists,you may not like it.Surely fans of "smooth jazz" will love it...this is a smooth jazz classic.This is one that's sure to please.

I Know, and understand, why this album was released!.......2005-12-31

I have been waiting for years for this album to be released on CD! I'll agree with all of you that were expecting a "drum tour de force" or a jazz or fusion offering, will be disappointed. But, Lenny found some talented folks and made a great record! This album highlights Lenny's talent for being a great producer, and a catylist for showcasing talent. It is one of the things that I have always admired about him. He has the ability to bring out the best in the people he chooses to associate himself with. As a musician, it has always been my hope to be able to do the same thing with the musicians I play with. From that perspective this album is as good as any of the Quincy Jones or Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis projects that were released during the period that this album came out. This remains as one of my all time favorite albums.

WHY???.......2005-09-15

Like the previous reviewer, I too wonder why this sub-par collection of filler tunes was chosen to be released over the Twennynine projects. WhenI ordered it I didn't know it was a re-issue, I thought it was New Lenny White, and all of Lenny's latest releases have been very good ventures.So I took a chance,a gamble. When I received it I quickly read the liner notes to see who was on it with Mr. White. The first warning sign was that all of the songs had vocals. The second sign was the presense of Marcus Miller on all songs with no production or co-production credits(he doesn't do that very often these days).
Once I played the disc my dissappointment was complete. I crapped out.

Maybe This Album Will Pick Up Some New Listeners.......2005-09-15

This is one of the few albums by anyone (let alone Lenny White)that I would give this kind of rating to.The reason for 'Attitudes' mediocrity has nothing to do with the general sound of the album.In fact for any fan of White's 'Just Like Dreamin' with Twennynine will find that the music here is very similar.The trouble here has to do with performance and composition then with the style of the music.Sadly no song here,even the slinky funky numbers stand out and bare much mention.The musicianship is excellent but this album is boring.How this record earned a reissue rather then reissuing the three Twennynine albums is a mystery to me.
