A BIG Thank You to MR. Bob Davis for hooking us up with the Radio Show  of CTI material.  
I've always had a soft spot for the CTI label since I got my first one, in '92. I collected 'em all (Benson, Esther Phillips, Hubbard, Deodato, Idris Muhammed, etc.) and love that sound. I know most of you are more into the nu skool sounds, but I always like to go back and dig in the crates of the past. I got chills up my spine when I heard Esther Phillips do Gil Scott Heron's "Home is where the hatred is", it is hauntingly beautiful tune.
