    For me,this track is the GREATEST instrumental that Jonathan Butler ever recorded. I wish that the Watercolors channel on Sirius/XM would put this in their rotation!

    I heard this song for this first time on a jazz radio station in Los Angeles in the early 90s. Music like this can't be found anywhere. It's so unfortunate.

    I love this song, it brings back so many memories. I found the CD on Amazon and purchased two to replace my original copy which was damaged years ago. funny thing is that i could never get this song out of my head it has stuck in my mind for years, Thank You Mr Butler for one of the most wonderful compositions ever!

    This was my favorite track we did on this record. We recorded at least two more that the label never put on the record. They were amazing songs! I'd love to hear them again actually. . R.I.P. to Wayne Braithwaite (producer/bass) and Don Alias (percussion) The other musicians on here are Omar Hakim, (drums), Vincent Henry, (reeds), me Michael Bearden, (keys) and of course JB! So underrated on this album! M~

    Colours is my favorite Jonathan Butler song. It's just one of those classic songs that despite being decades old, It sounds just as great now as it did when it was originally released. It was a great combination of Jonathan's masterful guitar playing and whoever was laying the funk down on the bass guitar. Absolutely outstanding! 🔥🔥

    This was one of my favorites too! I went searching for it in 2011, and later in 2016, to find out it was "not there" and couldn't find it. Part of me freaked-out and thought "Mandela Effect", but it appears it's just a record label thing I guess. I was soo happy to find this tune!!!! It is one of the most happy, relaxing, and uplifting tunes there is!!! Excellent job on those keys Michael Bearden!
