The one and only album from Detroit underground legend Ronn Matlock -- but a modern soul classic through and through! By the time of this late 70s set, Matlock had spent nearly a decade working under Motor Town legends like Norman Whitfield and the Holland-Dozier-Holland team -- and he emerges here fully formed as a wonderful soul songwriter with a really mature approach to his music!
The album's more mellow soul than the uptempo disco you might expect for the time -- and Matlock's very much in the spirit of Leroy Hutson or Leon Ware here -- hitting gentle grooves that are never too sleepy, and which come off with a really mature, sophisticated feel. Production and arrangements are by Michael Stokes, but we're guessing that it's Matlock's talents that are still the main guiding light on the set -- and titles include the sublime stepper "I Can't Forget About You", plus "Take Me to the Top (Of Your Mountain)", ""Back Street", and "You Got the Best of Me". CD also features 2 bonus tracks -- "Let Me Dance (mono single)" and "You Got The Best Of Me
