Notes: 1) Album does not come with track-by-track musician credits. However, credits for musicians, arrangers and technicians are grouped into two separate teams, one working for each of the two producers. The following breakdown was done according to this concept (this was not adopted for the musicians in the Diana Ross “The Force Behind The Power” entry as in that case the specific credits for Lee and the rhythm section were available). 2) Above picture and following credits were taken from the UK LP issue on RSO Super RSS 16 (2394 212).
