"I've personally been collecting a lot of rare and unreleased Motown in this, its 50th anniversary year. This CD by Gordon Staples and the String Thing has been the most unexpected. Being a session musician myself, it's always great to have a chance to be featured. The musicians played like they enjoyed the experience. All of the music is excellent, and the genius of arranger Paul Riser shines through loud and clear. I wish it had been considered for a serious movie soundtrack. I think it could have been almost as successful as "Shaft" if a hit single had been established. Kudos to Gordon Staples, the string players and the usual greatness from the Funk Brothers!"
