[4][5] After "Lovin' You" and Perfect Angel finished their chart run, Epic wanted a follow-up disc, and fast.

[6] More songs came from the Riperton/Rudolph camp as well as collaborations with Jazz Crusader Joe Sample and songwriter Leon Ware (who was enjoying a hot streak thanks to his work on Marvin Gaye’s album I Want You).

Epic Records anticipated a soul funky sequel, using Family Stone and Tower of Power horn section, which would have been released in November 1975.
