[For the Album...Tell Me So]
Track 1: TELL ME SO
This funky, bouncy little ditty expresses one man's concern for his lady's feelings, his willingness to do his best to ease her troubled mind, to soothe her ruffled feathers, so to speak.
Track 2: STUCK ON YOU
Another very funky, in-the-pocket tune with lyrics that testify about a woman's direct impact on the dude's brain, making us wonder what in the world is the lady puttin' down.
Track 3: THE RADIANT ONE
A very poetic extravaganza that lets the listener know that the singer's nose is wide open, his mind blown by the radiance of her kind treatment the sunshine that emanates from her very presence makes her the radiant one.
Track 4: THE RADIANT ONE (Instrumental)
Stripped of its vocals, this track still holds a quiet, reflective nuance of its own, enhanced by the melodic piano cleverly weaving a nice tapestry throughout the piece.
Written and produced by Rufus Wonder and Jimmy Tall. Recorded at Jam'G Productions Studios on Oh! O'Star Records in Oakland, CA
Track 5: Page two*UNDER THE MOON
Bristling with old-school licks, this tune conjures up the days when the Jackie Wilson groove was the rage. Rufus takes us on a magic carpet ride back to those days and , happily, we soar among the clouds, reminiscing.
Track 6: *SO UPSET
Again, we hear that old-school groove with the heavy backbeat, as the lyrics describe a lover's lament of gigantic proportions. Rufus Wonder paints a vivid picture in our minds and we can feel the pain in his message.
*Written and produced by Rufus Wonder and Frank I. "Sugar Chile" Robinson. Recorded at the legendary Golden World Studios on Lando Records in Detroit, MI
**Liner notes were written by Jimmy Guy, producer of the TV talk show Oakland Is,>>>
