Don Blackman's self-titled debut album, released in 1982, is a funk and jazz-fusion masterpiece that has gained a cult following over the years. As a talented keyboardist, vocalist, and composer, Blackman was already well-regarded in the music scene for his work with artists like Parliament-Funkadelic, Roy Ayers, and Weldon Irvine. His debut album showcases his unique blend of smooth jazz, funk, and R&B, highlighted by tracks like "Yabba Dabba Doo," "Heart’s Desire," and "Holding You, Loving You," which became underground hits.

The album is praised for its sophisticated musicianship, catchy grooves, and heartfelt lyrics.
