This 1966 record is the first of 2 albums Percy Mayfield recorded for Ray Charles' Tangerine label. A masterful songwriter whose touching blues ballad "Please Send Me Someone To Love" was a number one R&B hit in 1950, Mayfield was Ray Charles's favorite author during the '60s handing him such gems as "Hit The Road Jack" and "At The Club" and so was signed to the Genius' label. A true master at expressing the innermost feelings, tangled with vulnerability and sensibility: "Life Is Suicide" and "River's Invitation" are two perfect examples that are, along with the wonderful title track, are both included in this timeless classic.
