Another one I wasn't looking forward to, in which celebrity photographer Lynn Goldsmith adopts the guise of parody self-help guru Will Powers, whilst an uncredited Carly Simon plays the satisfied customer. I suppose to be generous about it, making fun of these people was a fresher idea then that it would be now, but it still sounds a bit too much like a joke that's more fun to play than to hear. An all-star cast, including Steve Winwood, Nile Rodgers and Todd Rundgren, make a decent effort at trying to sound funky, but although it's vaguely memorable it doesn't really come off and the ultimate effect is more of a big celeb get-together than an enjoyable record.
