A masterpiece of early-70s jazz vocal, cut for Bob Thiele's Flying Dutchman label
Thiele paired Thomas with arranger Alfred "Pee Wee" Ellis (James Brown's former bandleader), chasing the jazz-blues-soul mix that worked for Esther Phillips
'Love Each Other' and 'L-O-V-E' find Thomas in Donny Hathaway territory
Blues covers like 'Boom-Boom-Boom' and 'C.C. Rider' reveal a natural blues singer
Ellis's arranging shines brightest on the jazzier cuts - 'Shape Your Mind To Die', 'China Doll', and a vocal take on Santana's 'Gypsy Queen'
