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). The composition "If You Don't Want My Love" was also used by Womack in his soundtrack to the film Across 110th Street.
