And three great Terry Callier albums (Occaisional Rain, What Colour is Love, and I Just Can't Help Myself. I also love the Ramsey Lewis album he produced (Maiden Voyage) which also features Minnie Ripperton, whose debut solo album Come To My Garden is mighty fine and again produced by Stepney.
Just seen that Maurice White also drummed with the Ramsey Lewis Trio. Secret soul/jazz/funk family trees. Anyone heard their Sun Goddess album?
