Special Things
Released as part of our Jazz & Funk Classics series, Special Things was Pleasure's final album for Fantasy Records and was a continuation of the futuristic funk sound that had dominated their successful Future Now album. Containing two R&B hit singles, Yearnin' Burnin' and Now You Choose Me, the album was a Top 30 hit in the R&B album listings. The Portland, Oregon group demonstrate that they were able to develop their funk sound for the 1980s, carrying on from the success they had enjoyed with numbers such as Glide, Ghettos Of The Mind and Joyous.
