Thanks Mike!

I passed on these when they were released on cd in 2011 on Wounded Bird, a US-based reissue label. [[I did buy Jr Walker's "Back Street Boogie", released on the same label at about the same time.) I'm going to give this a listen and I might get them this time!

Listening to the first cut you can tell where Method Man stole his stuff. LOL!

[MIKEW-UK]

This track "Sunshine" is world class top notch. Written and produced by Norman, it equals Just My Imagination and any other of those top ballads by the great Motown artists when Norman was with the label....... Joe Harris at his very best as well...
