The production also brings in synthesizers, reflecting how disco’s rise was shaping soul and pop records of the period. There’s a socially aware edge here too, with Charles engaging directly with public issues of the day, including a pointed address to President Carter. This is a 1978 vinyl pressing, a nice vintage copy for anyone interested in Ray’s funk\/soul and jazz-adjacent work beyond the most familiar titles.
