It's worth stating that Bobby's mid 80's (Edge) tracks were masterminded by James Gadson (ex of Ike & Tina's band, Watts 103rd St Band, Bill Withers band + 1000's of 1970's LA studio sessions -- many for Motown) and cut in James' studio.

In that period, James G was also working with the likes of Gwen McCrae, Marlena Shaw, Viola Wills, Michael Wycoff, Charles McCormick, Len Jewel Smith & more ... ...  however his most enduring work was with Bobby Womack.

Bobby McClure's "It Feels So Good" was popular enough in UK clubs to be included on a Street Sounds comp LP.
