The first album after Ali-Ollie came back to Temps.
Ali-Ollie took lead for all songs, and the CD only bonus track "O.A.O.Lover" is written by himself.
The first single from this album "All I Want From You" produced by Stan Sheppard from By All Means who succeeded the first solo album of Gerald Alston (former lead singer of The Manhattans) is a funky dance music which reminds me of Janet Jackson.
The second single is "Special" which is a slow ballad was also produced by Stan Sheppard .
Temps performed these 2 songs with traditional Temps Walk for 1989 Temps Japan Tour.
The third single "Soul To Soul" is covered by Bobby Harris in 1993, by The Neville Brothers in 1996 and also by NUFLAVOR in 1997, and this song became Ali's last memorial recording as Temps.
