Written by David Foster, Donny Gerard & Eric Mercury

In 1976, David Foster produced Jaye P. Morgan’s self-titled album. It was a musical treat that offered fans the first important signs of Foster’s quality pop that would fully bloom on milestone albums like “Airplay.” Unfortunately, and in spite of its superior artistic value, “Jaye P. Morgan” never got the distribution it deserved thus becoming a well-kept secret. Thankfully, many of the songs included on the album resurfaced a couple of years later on new releases by R&B acts Hodges, James & Smith and Jaisun Johnson.
