Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of collaborations from R&B/Soul legends Thelma Houston and Jerry Butler. By 1977 when they began recording together, Thelma Houston was enjoying her first wave of across-the-board international success with her now-classic cover of Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes' 'Don't Leave Me This Way'; a year earlier, established hit maker Jerry Butler had signed with Motown and released his label debut Love's on the Menu. With production by Butler himself and Homer Talbert and Motown hit maker Hal Davis and Michael B. Sutton, Thelma & Jerry (a US Top 20 R&B album) included covers of Stevie Wonder's 'Joy Inside My Tears'; a medley of Chicago's 'If You Leave Me Now' with the Bee Gees' 'Love So Right'; and a Top 100 R&B charted single, 'It's a Lifetime Thing' (the flipside of which "Kiss Me Now" is included on this CD reissue as a bonus track).
