Even though this disc has been supplanted in my collection by The Eternal Dance box set, I can't get rid of it. This disc is particularly notable for the inclusion of the cover of the Beatles' Got To Get You Into My Life (one of the greatest covers of all time) and the wonderful September (one of the greatest songs of the '70s and my favorite song by EWF). Great stuff here. So even though I have all these songs on other CDs, I won't offer you my copy of this compilation.
Album chart peaks:
- US Billboard 200: #6 (Jan 27, 1979)
- Billboard R&B: #3
- CashBox: #6
- Rolling Stone: #4
Tracks: Rated A for awesome. Check it:

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: September always reminds me of playing on the school basketball team in 7th grade. I will probably listen to September at least three more times this morning before putting this CD away.
