Powerful album featuring 2 songs,"Boogie Wonderland" and "After the Love Has Gone",
which won Grammy award !
It's all 5 songs of other "In the Stone""Star""Can't Let Go" above-mentioned that single cut was done.
This album recorded 3rd place in the Pop Chart and 1st place in the Black chart of the billboard.
This was reissured after adding 3 songs to the original album in 2004.
David Foster made a spectacular showing in various songs/
(By the way, "After the Love Has Gone" is a cover song of Airplay which David Foster belonged.)
Every song is so familiar and wonderful!
