Classic smooth sounds abound in this ablum. Released domestically in 1979, the only song to make single status was the song, "We Can". We Can's strong vocals (by Bunny Hill & Charles Veal Jr.) along with IDEAL wedding lyrics make for a perfect Wedding song. If your tired of the Usual standard "We've only just begun or Close to you by the Carpenters wedding music, and want the PERFECT song to state your love then youd better give this one a listen. --- (Cleveland Hts., OH United States)

Harvey William Mason (born February 22, 1947 in Atlantic City, New Jersey) is an American jazz drummer. He has worked with many jazz and fusion artists such as Bob James, The Brecker Brothers, Lee Ritenour, Herbie Hancock's Headhunters and almost all the Mizell Brothers productions with Donald Byrd, Johnny Hammond, Bobbi Humphrey and Gary Bartz. He is featured on George Benson's 1976 album, Breezin'. Harvey is also the Percussionist for the Contemporary Jazz group Fourplay, which includes keyboardist Bob James, Guitarist Larry Carlton and Bassist Nathan East.

Mason's son, Harvey Mason, Jr., is one-half of the production team The Underdogs with Damon Thomas. The Underdogs have produced tracks for artists including Fantasia Barrino, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey and Luther Vandross. Harvey Sr.'s work is featured on one of the The Underdogs' major works, the soundtrack of the 2006 film adaptation of Dreamgirls.

In 1979 Mason Sr, released the hit single "Groovin' You", a disco-stomping tune, from the album with the same name. This music was then, sampled by House producer Gusto, in his 1995 hit-single "Disco's Revenge". ---amazon.com
