This is their most successful album album. It includes Brenda Holloway’s ”You’ve made me so very happy”, Laura Nyro’s ”And when I die”, Traffic’s ”Smiling phases”, Clayton-Thomas’ ”Spinning Wheel”,
and many other of their most popular songs.
If the first album was a loose jazz blending melted together with rock, this album have a more clearer delineation between jazz and rock. Straight ahead rocksongs and a jazzy part in the middle of each song.
This was the formula that really did catch the fancy of the public.
