Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1976 debut album from the Soul vocalist. One of the new breed of artists signed to Motown in the mid-'70s, New York-born Tata was surrounded by first class musicians such as Ray Parker Jr., James Gadson, Chuck Rainey, Eddie 'Bongo' Brown, Jay Graydon, Sonny Burke and Greg Poree. In addition to covers of songs by Stevie Wonder ("Never Had A Dream Come True") and Rufus ("Keep It Coming," written by Ashford & Simpson), writers involved in the album included a teenage Teena Marie ('Just As Long As There Is You'), UK rare groove favorites Michael & Brenda Sutton ('Music In My Heart') and Tata herself who contributed 'Try God'.
