Issued in 1996, this 10-track collection presents an ultra-funky set of keyboardist George Duke's late-'70s/early-'80s solo material. Although also renowned for his jazz/pop crossover work, Duke is right at home doling out Parliament-quality grooves, most notably on the ridiculous "Dukey Stick," and easing into R&B-tinged tracks such as the soulful "Reach for It" and the super-smooth "Shine On." While this isn't a comprehensive overview of Duke's prolific career, it is a whole lot of fun.
