It is a excellent album with great songs that still endures to this day and besides from the hits it has other great songs including I believe When I fall In Love It Will Be Forever, Big Brother, You and I and others and it is real funky and rocky which he was using synthesizers, Hohner Clavinet,Moog Bass,drums,harmonica and piano which among other musicians who played on the album were legendary british guitarist Jeff Beck, Ray PArker Jr who went on to have the hit single in 1984 Ghostbusters as well as backing singer Deniece Williams who would go on to have hits in the 80's including Free, Silly and Let's Hear It FOr the Boy. This album was at the time when Stevie was having a very successful and creative period with classic albums which it started with Music Of My Mind that was in March 1972, this album, Innervisions and many others which would become very successful throughout the 70's as well as Stevie was enjoying more artistic freedom from Motown.
