All members sang vocals on the album with Loatman, Petty, and Towns, Jr., sharing lead vocals on various cuts. William "BJ" Reese was the main lead singer heard throughout the album. The opening cut, the funky H.F.R.S. (Hustlin’, Freakin’, Rockin’, Streakin’) is a killer track and the main reason for it being on this list. The album also includes Patrice Rushen on keyboards, Nathan East on bass and once Crusaders drummer Ndugu Chancler. All keyboard solos were performed by Ron Rillera, All guitar solos were performed by Michael Loatman. All bass solos were performed by Warren Anthony Petty.
