  • Comments: The album that started it all (although there may well have been singles from this LP released before the LP itself). Very hard to find these days. Stand out ballads are the title track, "You and I" and "I'll Find a Way". Funkier moments include "I Keep Asking You Questions", "Surrender" and "Our Future".
