Three artists who performed on this album (Stevie Wonder, Deniece Williams, Michael Sembello) would all have Billboard number one songs (" I Just Called to Say I Love You", " Let's Hear It for the Boy", and " Maniac", respectively) within a year of each other, a decade after this album's release. Another artist on this album, Ollie Brown of Ollie & Jerry, would have a Billboard top ten single, " Breakin'... There's No Stopping Us", in the same one-year period.
The song "Come and Get This Stuff" was originally intended for Rufus, but lead singer Chaka Khan refused to perform the song. Instead, Wonder wrote " Tell Me Something Good" for them which appeared on their album Rags to Rufus.
