Although George Duke first made his mark as a Jazz instrumentalist, late-1970s classics like Reach For It, Don’t Let Go, and Follow The Rainbow made it clear that he could also be an expressive R&B singer.

But he didn’t want to handle all of the lead vocals himself; so during that period, his role was that of a producer/ keyboardist/songwriter who was more than happy to share the lead vocals with Lynn Davis, Josie James, and others. Lynn Davis enjoyed a lot of exposure on R&B stations when, in 1979, Duke featured her on “I Want You for Myself”, the haunting single that made Master of the Game one of his best-selling albums.

This album contains a few jazz fusion instrumentals (including the Latin-flavored “Dog-Man”), but it’s an R&B release first and foremost. “I Want You for Myself” and the mellow, Stylistics-influenced “Every Little Step I Take” are gems in its own right.
