...only two new songs (which comprise two-thirds of Bonnie's song-writing output). One of the originals, "Finest Lovin' Man" is a straight blues, featuring exciting instrumental work by Bonnie, Junior Wells on harp, and Danny Freebo on Bass. "Thank You" is a pretty ballad in the Curtis Mayfield vein, with Bonnie on piano and Willie Murphy playing a beautiful soft lead guitar...

A hook-shot artist, Smith averaged 27 points and 26 rebounds a game this season. Kendall Mayfield of Tuskegee, 6 ft. 1 in., has topped 40 points in five games this year. Says one scouting report: "Excellent outside. Good driver. Takes opponents to basket well. Very quick. Has poise."
