Released by Motown in 1987, this album is an eclectic gathering of R&B music sung by Willis, with backing musicians including Booker T. Jones, Ruth Pointer and The Temptations.
Every song is a cover with the exception of 'Jackpot (Bruno's Bop)', for which Willis receives a co-writing credit with producer Robert Kraft.
The album peaked at number 28 in the UK Album Chart. The album also peaked at number 14 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
Lead off single 'Respect Yourself' received considerable airplay, peaking at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and number 10 on the UK singles Chart. Follow-up singles 'Young Blood' and 'Under the Boardwalk' did not fare nearly as well, peaking at number 68 and number 59, respectively.
However, in the UK 'Under the Boardwalk' was a massive success, reaching number 2 in the charts and becoming the 12th best-selling single of 1987 in the UK.
The album is a companion piece to an HBO special of the same name which aired shortly after the record's release. A re-issue was distributed by Razor & Tie in 1997.
