Paul Pena (died October 1, 2005) was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist of Cape Verdean descent. His music from the first half of his career touched on Delta blues, jazz, morna, flamenco, folk and rock and roll. Pena is probably best known for writing the song "Jet Airliner," a major 1977 hit for the Steve Miller Band and a staple of classic rock radio; and for appearing in the 1999 documentary film Genghis Blues, wherein he displayed his abilities in the field of Tuvan throat singing. The little bit of his recorded output that is available is a revelation. This if from his ultraobscure first album Paul Pena which has never been released on cd.

The "Detroit Emeralds" formed as a vocal harmony group in Little Rock, Arkansas, and originally composed of four brothers. In 1970, they joined the Westbound record label. While touring in Memphis, Tennessee, they recorded some demo tracks at the Hi recording studios, run by producer Willie Mitchell, to which they then added vocals and strings back in Detroit. This approach worked and brought them another hit, "If I Lose Your Love", which was followed by a run of successes, including this track which made the R&B Top 10.

Willis "Gator" Jackson (25 April 1932 - 25 October 1987) was a great American soul jazz tenor saxophonist. Active from the late fifties into the seventies, Jackson had a rich, lush sound and loved to work in organ trios. He always seemed to be the archetype of the b-3 trio smoking in the back of the bar.
