Not only do I have his greatest hits on CD but I have a few of his albums. I have decided that I really really like him after purchasing one of his albums at a used record store. He was known for his contemporary jazz. My favorite by him is a song called "Turn out your lamplight" that went to #33 in 1981 on the R&B charts. You might know his other 80's hits better, like, "Give me the night", "Turn your love around", and the original version of Whitney Houston's "Greatest love of all". How do you feel about this modern jazz great?

He's awesome. Don't know what's better, the guitar or his voice, which I rate right up there with Luther Van Dross.

This guy is great. He had an instrumental in the 70's called Breezin' that is fantastic. That was also the time that he put out his version of On Brodway, definitely a classic. I also love 20-20, Give Me the Night, I Just Wanna Hang Around You, Kisses in the Moonlight and Turn Your Love Around. I really love this guy's music.
