Comments: An obscure NY R&B 45 with cred provided by the legendary Executive producers Peter Brown and Peter Gilyard. ‘Trademark P & P’ on label. Served up is a wonderfully produced mid-tempo dancer with the vocal way up in the mix along with impressive bass work. The somewhat hesitant horns add color. A Deep Soul ballad on the B-side.
