People Of The Sun", which could have been quietly included on a rare groove album of 70s soul-jazz, "My Mystic Life", which shows off his true potential as a jazz vocalist, and "The Soul", which is a neo-soul-tinged song with a jazzy, jazz-rock feel. The Summertime", a stylish neo-soul tune, and the fast and furious "Black Love", which is sure to become a regular in the record bags of danceable jazz DJs.

The Midnight Hour is another great album that also showcases the musical nostalgia of the duo.
