The legendary jazz master Norman Connors eventually branched out to record R&B hits like this one which he released in 1976. One thing I love about this is that it would have been so easy to cheese this up with space age sound effects yet he managed to keep it very instrumental and maintain an atmospheric sound without going all technical like a lot of acts started doing in the 70's.

(OC, you are on fire with the great nostalgia soul tonight!!!)
All right: This is just about my favorite slow jam to come out of the 1970s. I wonder how many 30-year-olds were conceived to this one!! The track itself has a really ethereal feel to it, and Michael Henderson ripped nailed the vocals on this one. (He never sounded this good on his own records.)
Another Norman Connors song that I just discovered this year is "Valentine Love," which features Michael Henderson on vocals as well. It's definitely not as good as this song, but the instrumental track does a great job of creating a mood -- just like "You Are My Starship."

I dig it. Norman Connors also redid the song in 2000 with Peabo Bryson on vocals.
