Tender Togetherness

★ Tender Togetherness / Stanley Turrentine (1981)



When I checked the leaflet in this album, I nearly mistook and thought this was album of Earth,Wind&Fire!

The tenor sax player Stanley Turrentine was called the most expensive jazz musician with the highest guarantee after super hits of "Sugar"and"Cherry "

Many members of EWF paticipated in his album " Tender Togetherness".
This is really exciting album with full funk under the producion of Larry Dunn!
Let me intoduce the pesonals in this album as below.
Don't you think it's essense item that EWF fan must have?

Philip Bailey participated with back vocal and percussion in "Only You and Me".
This song futured lead vocal of Diann Reeves,
But if possible ,I wanted to listen with the lead vocal of Philip!
But if it was so, this sound like an album of EWF perfectly.

Famous tune "After the Love Is Gone " of Earth,Wind&Fire also recorded in this!.
The touch of tune is little different from the original , and it may be fun.
