This “Definitive Collection” features all the album versions, so you can enjoy the classics such as ‘School Days’, ‘We Supply’ (which was co-written with Louis Johnson) and ‘Heaven Sent You’ (featuring Shalamar’s Howard Hewett on vocals) along with the jazzier side to Stanley’s work like the amazing ‘Concerto For Jazz’ parts 1 & 2.

The news of Roger’s death in April 1999 stunned Funk & Soul Fans around the globe as apparently he had been murdered by his older brother and song writing partner Larry Troutman, who then committed suicide, why still remains a mystery.

Before it was fashionable, producer Creed Taylor's label had been injecting pop and R&B sensibilities into jazz, paving the way for the commercial fusion sound. Fuse One was the label's late-period supergroup, releasing three albums beginning in 1980. The "supergroup" concept wasn't new to CTI; not only had the label sponsored "All-Star" concerts, but its top-tier musicians frequently cross-pollinated each other's albums in truly democratic style. Robinsongs' two-fer presents two of the group's three releases from this unique group designed without a proper "leader."

As far as Supergroups are concerned, Fuse One is right up there with the likes of Crosby, Stills & Nash, Cream, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Bad Company etc, only difference is the genre.
