Conception - Stanley Turrentine

This instrumental tune used to play on R&B radio along with Cargo's "Holding On For Love" beginning in fall '82. The two almost seemed to go together, and when finding out what the Cargo tune was, I thought this one might have been the B-side, the instrumental "It's Your Love".
The overall sound and especially the horn playing sounds a lot like Grover Washington Jr., So many other fusion jazz artists from this time. I was totally dumbfounded as to what this was!
Thanks to redhillboogie for IDing it!

Good news ! Immediately I heard this even tho I couldn't recall the track itself I was thinking Stanley Turrentine LP "Home Again" from 1982 and sure enough yes ! The track is called "Conception." I've also probably got a copy for sale if you want it. Anymore early 80's fusion and boogie get in touch. BTW its a decent LP and also includes the excellent vocal track "I'll Be There." Thanks for uploading this.

THANX!!! (Just confirmed it on Allmusic.com).

Funny, I always heard the name Stanley Turrentine on the KISS-FM jazz shows in the later '80s, and CD101 in the '90's, but never heard this tune then, and don't remember hearing the name in '82.

Looks like nobody else has it on here either, too! Sure sounded like Grover Washington on the sax.
