Printed on back cover: "With silky and soft, soulful vocals, Major Lance rose to stardom through the 1960s as the OKeh label's top-selling R&B artist. Performing a wealth of Curtis Mayfield-penned gems, Lance's smooth, evocative style earned him a doctorate from the hallowed school of Chicago Soul.
