"Thelma Houston & The Pressure Cooker" made an audiophile album on Sheffield Records. It was "Direct Cut" to the master - no tape - and each side was one continuous take.

The studio "band" included A-listers - Larry Carlton, Dean Parks, Larry Knechtel, Jim Gordon, Jim Keltner, etc

Sonically, it was beyond extraordinary - incredible transparency & earth shattering dynamics....then and still does to this day.

Musically, it REALLY rocked!!!!

The ULTIMATE one hit wonder song!

I love that song.

Marylin Manson does a very dark version of it.

Whenever I want to ‘zing’ the old farts at work - I start singing “Afternoon Delight” ...

My goodness - that song takes them back to pinball/pool halls of the 70s - such fun...
