"Sound that exudes from my musical maze,
Like silver and gray on an ebony glaze,

    Oh! my GOD... You got everyone on this LP... I think that this was gonna be Leroy's ascension to maybe Curtis, Donny, Marvin like status... But, it's how you like it for us soul boys... This should have been a smash... It remains the LP... It had everything... 'Get to this, get to me' is probably Leroy's most well known tune, never a 45... So ignored by the soul cognoscenti, never in a top whatever, not on the dancefloors of the Elite... However, 'In the mood', 'Where did love go' and the Natural 4 classic ' Heaven right here on Earth' give this LP a 5 star rating... If you're serious about SOUL this needs to be in your collection...
