In addition, all the cuts of the album reached the top of the Hot Dance/Disco chart.
~Wikipedia
Colonel Abrams straddled the category of love man and disco dancer on his debut album (with a touch of the preacher thrown in), and he was rewarded with four R&B chart hits: "Trapped" (#20), "The Truth" (#78), "I'm Not Gonna Let" (#7), and "Over and Over" (#68). All found the beat-heavy Abrams confidently emoting in a manly style borrowed from the young Teddy Pendergrass.
