Cool Gospel Funk & Soul Lp exclusive, very unknow until a few months when everybody's seen on "souldennis" from that time, was a priority for almost all excusive's collector of funky & soul to get this awesome lp!. All the songs are very spiritual, but the funky disco songs, are the best!. Another same excellent as the first one is called "I Don't Know You" Magnifiscent song, i love that song!! and the third one is called "I Know Who You Should See", that 3 songs are fantastics!!!.Sadly there is some guys who don't apreciate this kind of music, and even disrespect them with their attitudes.
