Background

edit

Primarily produced by Leo Graham with the exception of two songs ("Saving My Love for You" and "Turn Back the Hands of Time"), which were handled by Carl Davis and Tom Tom 84. "Turning Point" was the album's lead single and reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart in February 1976. It was the first number-one soul single to not crossover to the Hot 100 and any Billboard pop singles chart since 1955.[2] It was Davis's last number-one soul/R&B hit. Two follow ups, "It's So Good (To Be Home with You)" and "Ever Lovin' Girl", peaked at Nos. 9 and 39, respectfully, on the soul singles chart.
