A brilliant first album from Marc Sadaneโ an artist who never hit big at the time, but who really shines here in a set of mellow and modern soul tracks thatโs completely sublime! Sadane gets great production help from the team of James Mtume and Reggie Lucas โ who set his wonderful vocals up in the kind of space you might hear from Leon Ware or Leroy Hutson at the time โ a style thatโs rich and romantic, but never overtone or soppy at all โ balanced perfectly at a level that few mature masculine singers could ever do this well!

Marc Sadane was born in Savannah, Georgia.
He trained his vocal skills singing in the local church and became musical director for his local choir before moving into off-Broadway acting and singing in New York.
In New York City he also studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
From here he joined a group Tungsten Steele and was lead singer for three years.
Marc then departed for a solo career in 1977 and became the vocalist for the house band at Mikell's. He toured with Stephanie Mills which led to further popularity on the circuit.
He sang in several of New Jersey clubs before coming to the attention of writers and producers James Mtume and Reggie Lucas. In 1981 they signed Marc to Warner Brothers and worked with him on two albums, 'One Way Love Affair' in 1981 and 'Exciting' in 1982, the latter including 'One Minute From Love'. 'Exciting' featured artistic in put from Marcus Miller and Luther Vandross amongst others. Marc then opted out of the music business until 1988 when he recorded 'Why Can't You Believe In Me' (featuring Will Downing on backing vocals), produced by Darryl Payne, for Darryl's showcase album 'Past Present & Future'.
Since that time, Marc has adopted a lower musical profile.
