This album is dedicated to the late Polygram A&R representative, Bill Haywood; as Cameo mentions in the liner-notes of the album, "The album which he always wanted". The track, "Talking Out the Side of Your Neck", is an extremely popular arrangement amongst marching bands, especially those from HBCUs. The titular track became the group's first number one single on the R&B charts, topping the charts for four weeks in April 1984.

gollark: I'm not sure of the context of this, but there are probably microcontrollers or whatever which could do Bluetooth and not need some dedicated receiver on the other end.
gollark: You run the lowish-voltage DC from a solar panel through an inverter which converts it to AC.
gollark: A USB-C port on a laptop might support power delivery *in*, power delivery *out*, two different video output things, sometimes Thunderbolt which is completely different but runs over the same connector, and any regular USB speed from USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen2x2.
gollark: And ports.
gollark: It also has a significant problem in that so many different things go over identical-looking cables.
