With a hot funk band and a big hit, Reach for It, behind him, George Duke appears mostly in his persona as R&B star on this ebullient package of sometimes Latin-inflected 70s funk. The centerpiece is a self-parodic bit of shuck and jive called Dukey Stick, which became a number four hit single on the R&B charts (at his gigs, Duke used to flaunt a gaudy, lit-up, perhaps phallic wand, the Dukey stick, during this number). The percussion section is pretty potent, staffed by Leon Ndugu Chancler and Sheila Escovedo in her pre-pop star days; they even get a Latin workout of their own simply titled Percussion Interlude. While some of Dukes considerable keyboard and electronic prowess breaks through now and then, this album is mainly aimed at the R&B market, as the preponderance of soul vocals indicates. As such, it is a cut or two above the routine fare of the time, though not as infectious as its predecessor Reach for It. Tracks: 01. We Give Our Love (Duke-Chancler-Miller-Johnson) - 4:33 02. Morning Sun (Duke) - 4:15 03. Percussion Interlude (Chancler-Escovedo) - 2:02 04. Dukey Stick (Duke) - 6:07 05. Starting Again (Duke) - 4:30 06. Yeah, We Going (Chancler) - 3:41 07.
