Yep, I know this was not released on Motown,but it is Lamont Dozier writen and produced so probably fits well in this forum. I was always amazed at how Lawrence sounds exactly like Lamont, he must have followed Lamont's guide vocal precisely!

WHY DON'T I REMEMBER THIS? Sounds fantastic and this is of the era of my youth. So now, thanks to your sharing this, it finally answers a question I always had: we all know about John Travolta being shoved through the Teen Idol machine and I always wondered why Lawrence didn't get those opportunities too. But now I see he did. Whether or not this was a cash in on Welcome Back Kotter's popularity, this is very solid. There's nothing wrong with this at all. Incredibly and flawlessly produced. I love those lilting, uplifting strings. Lamont hadn't lost his touch at all and it seems Lawrence could easily have had a very good career in music. Many thanks for sharing this one.Quote:

Paul Riser and H.B. Barnum arranged strings and horns so you know its quality.
It's a good album. Wonder Woman, Time Machine and What Kind Of Man are especially good. The Youtube upload has excellent sound quality so you can really pump the volume up!
