Rideout had co-authored songs and contributed arrangements and played keyboards on Luther's final three albums.
Saxophonist Dave Koz, who had performed on the first album, and who had founded Rendezvous Entertainment a few years earlier, released the 2006 follow-up on his own Rendezvous label. Dave Koz played on all the featured Luther Vandross tracks, which were recorded by various smooth jazz artists.[2]
