When I was recording this one I knew it was an important release for 1976 because of who was involved (I have restored links at start of posts today shown) with The Waters Family, Joe Sample, The Brothers Johnson and Ray Parker, Jr. Now Discogs also has a reason {WOW-WAH!} per: Melvin "Wah Wah" Watson
