Gerald Alston, lead  singer for popular soul group The Manhattans, decided to step out on his own in the late 1980s, and had moderate success. His self-titled album was a top-twenty charting album, and debut single “Take Me Where You Want To” went to #3 in the Hot R&B charts. Though he’d later rejoin his group, this solo outing was a fine slice of contemporary R&B and a beautiful, passionate love song as well.
