This is a hot track! Anyone have any idea when it was recorded and the producer?

I've had it on a bootleg for some years. I've always assumed it was among the last of Jean's recordings as a Supreme but never received backing vocals. Just an assumption. The sound seems more 1973 than 70 or 71. No idea who produced it.

the LA latin influence , bongoy , free spirit, sort of like a precursor to:

same production team??
Frank Wilson was producing them again in early 73.
Could be Stevie wonder
wonder what all Frank worked on them with in 73? I know Love Train.
As for Stevie, I've never heard of TL in the short list of songs he did with them. not to say there aren't more but i've only heard of BW, Soft Days, I'll Wait A Lifetime. that last one is the best, really excellent. It's popped up a few times on Youtube, only to be taken down quickly. was able to download the audio once
there are a few more "unknown" producer tracks:
Steppin on a dream
Mind body and soul
remote control
can't you hear me knocking
how long has that evening train been gone
you gotta pay the price
if you let me baby [[although with the MW anthology & booklet we should get the recording info on this one! :) )
I'll be surprised to find that "Remote Control" isn't a Frank Wilson tune.
To my ears, it sounds like something from the Webb session. The horns remind me of those used on Cheap Lovin' and there are a few high notes Jean's straining to reach, which is a hallmark of the Webb album.
"Remote Control" was produced by Hal Davis.
"Steppin' On A Dream" likely was produced by Henry Cosby as he co-wrote it and he usually produced songs he wrote.
"Send Him To Me" and "If You Let Me Baby" were Deke Richards productions.
"I'm Traveling Light" [The correct title] was produced by Frank Wilson.
i thought it was Frank Wilson. thought he did seceral tracks with the supremes ,again
not sure why he stopped but , this confirms to me we need a 70s Lost and Found
