This was the last album Parker did with Raydio, and it was a successful outing. It yielded the number one Billboard R&B smash hit &A Woman Needs Love,& and an easy-flowing track with lyrics supporting women in relationships that retained its number one position for two weeks. That single was followed up with &That Old Song,& reflecting on the yester-love a girl and boy shared; it peaked at #26 after 11 weeks. Parker slows down the pace with &Old Pro& and &So Into You.& With the latter's title being self explanatory, the former is the tale of a reformed player wanting to settle down. As for dance grooves, Parker exhibits his musicianship on the remainder of the album on tracks like &It's Your Night,& (#73, five weeks), &Still in the Groove,& and &All in the Way You Get Down,& all creditable compositions.
