Ronnie Laws’ Friends and Strangers is a varied album that showcases Laws’ sax, and features Roland Bautista playing guitar and Larry Dunn on keyboards. It has more groove than Fever and its steamy saxophones, and its more polished than Pressure Sensitive. The sax really makes it sound smooth, but the guitar adds the funk and the synths add the space. It was produced by Wayne Henderson, released in 1977 and went gold.
