With the band's popularity higher than ever, the Ohio Players were asked by actor Fred Williamson to create music for a movie of the same name he was writing and directing.

The songs were a departure from the mid-tempo funk and soul they were becoming known for, especially compared to the album they released months before, Angel.

The group placed a greater emphasis in incorporating more ballads and jazz of the quiet storm variety.

The music was made for the sole purpose of it being used for the eponymous 1977 film, perhaps the reason why it felt like a departure from their previous work, but fans and critics reacted to it with mixed opinions.

All tracks composed by Billy Beck, James "Diamond" Williams, Marshall Jones, Marvin "Merv" Pierce, Ralph "Pee Wee" Middlebrooks, Clarence Satchell and Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner
