Album Notes
Personnel: Dean Parks, Roland Bautista , Billy Rogers (guitar); Wilton Felder (saxophone); Joe Sample (keyboards); Stix Hooper (drums, percussion); Paulinho Da Costa (percussion).Audio Mixers: Rik Pekkonen; Wilton Felder.Recording information: Hollywood Sound Recorders, Hollywood, CA.Photographer: Larry DuPont.Unknown Contributor Roles: Dean Parks; Nahas Vigon; Paulinho Da Costa; Roland Bautista .The Crusaders' sound had changed by 1978 due to the decision of trombonist Wayne Henderson to become a fulltime producer, and the gradual dominance of funky R&B rhythms. Although the band (which consisted of keyboardist Joe Sample, Wilton Felder on tenor and soprano, drummer Stix Hooper and, for this LP, guitarist Billy Rogers and bassist Pops Popwell) now had a more conventional instrumentation, its music remained infectious and at least to an extent influenced by jazz.
