In addition to my vinyl collection I'm selling, I have hundreds of reel-to-reel, pre-recorded tapes I'm selling. This is an entry about one of them that was for sale on eBay (see link below for others). I have the vinyl LP version as well. Interested? Contact me by email, please, not by a comment.

Understanding was released in 1972; it featured the song, I Can Understand It, a great, at the time, dance song; although, it does sound dated now, it was pre-disco, what we later called funk. I remember dancing to it's infectious beat in dark smokey bars (no mirrored disco balls yet). The song was 6 1/2 minutes, long by the standards of those days and seemed to go on forever.
His cover of the John Lennon, Paul McCartney song, And I Love Her, is a beautiful soul version of the tune.
Near the bottom of this post there are links to the songs mentioned on YouTube so you can hear them for yourself, if you'd like.
