Ronnie Laws - Mr. Nice Guy (1983) [2004, Remastered Reissue]

Saxophonist/master musician, singer, songwriter and producer Ronnie Laws first began making an impact as a soloist with the 1975 release of his Blue Note album, “Pressure Sensitive.” By the start of the ‘80s, the Houston-born member of the musically prolific Laws family was topping the U.S. jazz album charts and building a solid audience among R&B fans on both sides of the Atlantic. A U.S. Top 10 jazz and Top 30 R&B best-seller, Mr. Nice Guy focused on Ronnie’s vocals as much as it did his prowess as an instrumentalist: the album contained the Top 40 R&B hit, “In The Groove” (a favourite among UK rare groove lovers), the synth-driven title track and a hip cover of Jr. Walker’s “What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)”.
