Released as part of our Jazz & Funk Classics series, "Special Things" was Pleasure's final album for Fantasy Records and was a continuation of the futuristic funk sound that had dominated their successful "Future Now" album. Containing two R&B hit singles, 'Yearnin' Burnin'' and 'Now You Choose Me', the album was a Top 30 hit in the R&B album listings. The Portland, Oregon group demonstrate that they were able to develop their funk sound for the 1980s, carrying on from the success they had enjoyed with numbers such as 'Glide', 'Ghettos Of The Mind' and 'Joyous'.
