Originally being centered on soundtrack music that Hancock wrote for the
Bill Cosby Saturday morning cartoon show, It became the turning point for Hancock to move towards theJazz-funk style. A perfect example of classic songs, such as "Tell Me a Bedtime Story" (which later turned up also on the1978 Quincy Jones album, "Sounds...and Stuff Like That" in a more funk-esque type song) and "Jessica" (which later turned up on the1977 Hancock album, "".)Track listing
