About the Album

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 the Jazz-funk style. A perfect example of classic songs, such as "Tell Me a Bedtime Story" (which later turned up also on the 1978 Quincy Jones album, "Sounds...and Stuff Like That" in a more funk-esque type song) and "Jessica" (which later turned up on the 1977 Hancock album, "".)
