Take It to the Limit / Mood for Lovin

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the R&B trio. Harry Ray, Al Goodman and Billy Brown previously recorded as the Moments. When they went out on their own, they arrived at EMI's American operation for the two albums we present here. Ray Goodman & Brown were now signed with Hush Productions, themselves busy within EMI with other artists including Lillo Thomas, Paul Lawrence, Melba Moore and Beau Williams among others. Their creative team brought to these albums soul music's soundtrack of the times and indeed much of the Hush flavor that works most favorably here on outstanding ballads and mellow grooves. Adding Greg Willis to the second EMI recording, the group further excelled and defined the moment with a classic, Where Did You Get That Body Baby, co-written by the group's new member who became a featured vocalist too. By the late 80s soul music had become electrified, possibly the inspiration for the Garry Glenn composition which embraced the elements while maintaining the quality that contributes significantly to the longevity of these albums.
