Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1981 collaboration between the Soul greats featuring seven bonus tracks. Billy Preston and Syreeta were established as recording artists in their own right when, as Motown label-mates, they worked together on the 1979 soundtrack for the film, Fast Break. While the film itself made no impact, one track from the album, the beautiful ballad ”With You I”m Born Again” (included as a bonus track on this reissue along with an instrumental version of the song) became a Top 5 UK hit prompting Motown to release the single in the US where it reached #4 on Billboard”s Top 100 chart. Encouraged by the single”s success, the pair recorded this album working with producers including David Shire & Carol Connors, Ollie E. Brown and Michael Masser. Bonus tracks include two versions of ”Go for It” (from Fast Break””) and the reissue includes notes by UK Motown expert Sharon Davis with 2013 quotes from producer/songwriter Carol Connors.
