Produced by Ric Powell, "Everything Is Everything" has been dubbed by critics as one of Hathaway’s finest releases. The album, another facet in Hathaway’s undeniable musicianship, finds the emotive vocalist covering tunes like Ray Charles' “I Believe to My Soul” and Nina Simone’s “To Be Young, Gifted and Black”. His swinging single “The Ghetto” charted on Billboard’s Hot 100 and top R&B singles. With breathtaking sound quality, the album is a fully displays of Hathaway’s musical artistry.

1975 was a hell of a year for Creed Taylor's Kudu Records. Not only was the mighty, mighty "Feels So Good" album by Grover Washington, Jr. released, but so was saxophonist Hank Crawford's "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing". It was one of two recordings issued by Crawford for the label in that calendar year. But perhaps the most deeply satisfying and out of character album from that year was the absolute soul-jazz masterpiece Upchurch/Tennyson by Chicago guitar god Phil Upchurch and pianist/vocalist Tennyson Stephens.

The 1976 triple-platinum album by 10X Grammy Winner George Benson marked the beginning of the guitarist and singer most successful commercial period. The album garnered 4 Grammys, including Best-Engineered Album, Non Classical and “Record of the Year” for the massive hit (and Leon Russell cover) “This Masquerade”, which topped the Pop, Jazz, and R&B charts.
