Willie Hutch got his first big break writing, producing and arranging songs for the 5th Dimension, but when he penned the lyrics to the Jackson 5's I'll Be There; Berry Gordy immediately hired him as a Motown writer, arranger and producer. After co-writing songs for Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, the Miracles and others, Hutch stepped into the spotlight as an artist in his own right for Motown, becoming a go-to Blaxploitation film score composer (The Mack; Foxy Brown) and scoring hits with Brother s Gonna Work It Out, Slick and Love Power. But in 1977, Willie joined fellow Motown producer Norman Whitfield's own Whitfield label, and the following year cut this disco/funk classic, which married Whitfield's trademark psychedelic soul sound to his own sharp songwriting, with a bit of Barry White thrown into the mix. Long requested by soul and disco fans across the globe, this record features the R&B chart hits All American Funkathon and Paradise, and makes its worldwide CD debut with this Real Gone release. Gene Sculatti's liner notes explore Willie s distinguished career.
