Though he was deeply influenced by the late Grover Washington, Jr., Beasley took that inspiration far and wide. One need go no further than the album's opening cut, "I'm So Happy." Beasley's soulful vocals and alto saxophone are right up in front of a female backing chorus, a stylist drum loop, crisp synths, and a catchy guitar hook worthy of Eric Gale or Cornell Dupree (though it's played by Freddie Fox). Add to this some Chic-like handclaps and dreamy keyboards, and nursery rhyme refrains with saxophone swirling in the bridge, and you have a bona fide crossover hit. It's a hell of an introduction for Beasley as a modern soul vocalist and songwriter, and he wrote or co-wrote all but two of the album's nine cuts. Preston Glass and Kenny G wrote the following cut, "On the Edge," but Beasley's technical gift on the soprano sax is what's on display here. Kenny G may have written it, but his own chops don't hold a candle to the killer soul, in the pocket rhythmic sensibility, and overall arrangement with the loops and spiraling funky keyboards in this version. Other standouts on the set include the romantic gospel/soul ballad that is "Call Me," the funky "Back in Love Again," and the tough swagger and strut of "Nothin' But a Thang," that was a club favorite and a subsequent single. While it's true that Lionel Job's production sounds dated in the 21st century, most everything that came out of the smooth jazz genre from that period does: the packed compression on the keyboards and drum programming are a dead giveaway to the era, as are the stacked vocals. That said, this is one of the shining lights of the entire period, and it's easy to see why this music became a juggernaut commercially. Beasley stands out as a giant of the genre because he set his own watermark so high. The emotion on this set is clear, and the grooves are timeless. This is a very impressive debut by a player who arrived on the scene fully developed.  Cue REM DATE 1987REM DISCID 720A4709REM COMMENT "ExactAudioCopy v0.99pb4"PERFORMER "Walter Beasley"TITLE "Walter Beasley"FILE "01 - I'm So Happy.wav" WAVE TRACK 01 AUDIO TITLE "I'm So Happy" PERFORMER "Walter Beasley" INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 AUDIO TITLE "On The Edge" PERFORMER "Walter Beasley" INDEX 00 04:39:60FILE "02 - On The Edge.wav" WAVE INDEX 01 00:00:00FILE "03 - Call Me.wav" WAVE TRACK 03 AUDIO TITLE "Call Me" PERFORMER "Walter Beasley" INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 04 AUDIO TITLE "Jump On It" PERFORMER "Walter Beasley" INDEX 00 05:13:24FILE "04 - Jump On It.wav" WAVE INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 05 AUDIO TITLE "Back In Love Again" PERFORMER "Walter Beasley" INDEX 00 03:57:15FILE "05 - Back In Love Again.wav" WAVE INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 06 AUDIO TITLE "Tenderness" PERFORMER "Walter Beasley" INDEX 00 05:12:56FILE "06 - Tenderness.wav" WAVE INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 07 AUDIO TITLE "Nothin' But A Thang" PERFORMER "Walter Beasley" INDEX 00 04:18:52FILE "07 - Nothin' But A Thang.wav" WAVE INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 08 AUDIO TITLE "Where" PERFORMER "Walter Beasley" INDEX 00 05:01:68FILE "08 - Where.wav" WAVE INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 09 AUDIO TITLE "I'm So Happy (12' Remix)" PERFORMER "Walter Beasley" INDEX 00 05:09:72FILE "09 - I'm So Happy (12' Remix).wav" WAVE INDEX 01 00:00:00  EAC log Exact Audio Copy V0.99 prebeta 4 from 23.
