A great, funky album from Sergio, featuring some standout tunes, notably his Stevie Wonder-penned minor hit "The Real Thing," which got a lot of airplay in some markets but which sadly failed to crack the Top 40. There are also great reworkings of Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now" and the gorgeous "Why" co-written by Michael Sembello, both of which introduce some Quarteto em Cy harmonies into the Mendes vocal palette, something he would continue to exploit for the rest of his 70s Elektra output. This was Sergio's group with two drummers, on top of his usual battery of percussion, and the rhythm arrangements positively crackle with energy. Highly recommended. ~JMK
