"In addition to scoring the incomparable Mr.Gaye a huge comeback hit with 'Sexual Healing'and putting him back on the block in a big way. This album also has a great deal to say for itself in terms of the production values,very very commercially innovative for their time, and set the standard for which all R&B music would be judged for the remainder of that decade. In addition to the scorching hit single, 'Midnight Lover', 'Third World Girl' and 'Put Some Music On' all deserve their merits in terms of absolute dancability and.Also interesting to note:A ccording to the album credits, Gaye displayed many a fine example of the more obscure facets of his talent, playing keyboards, bass,drums (or drum programming) and percussion on most of the album, proving that he is more than just a 'sexual healing' soul crooner, but a superb musician as well! Too bad that the album which established his comeback would also end up as his swan song."
