"Thanks to this marvelous musical tribute to vocalist supreme Leon Thomas I find myself thinking back to 1973 when Leon became a part of Santana and went on with us to thrill, uplift, and charm audiences all around the world.  What a fantastic time and an incredible experience that was.  And now, some thirty-five years later, Babatunde Lea and his daring musical cohorts have conjured up the spirit and the audicity of Leon Thomas in this new time and in their own way and I for one am supremely grateful. Thank you all for this soulful tribute to a truly magnificent musician."
