P.P. Arnold played with the Small Faces and covered Cat Stevens' version of "The First Cut Is The Deepest," which is still best known, reaching the UK Top 20 in 1967 and appearing on numerous immediate labels. Among his works, ``Angel Of The Morning'' reached the top 30.
Since Immediate Records closed in 1968, P.P. Arnold continued to plan the release of the solo album she was working on at the time. The late Jim Morris, who was Robert Stigwood's assistant at the time, introduced P.P. Arnold to Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees, who had been discovered by Robert Stigwood. Barry Gibb, already a fan of P.P. Arnold, agreed to produce her album.
``I was so excited when I found out I was going to work with him,'' P.P. Arnold recalls. “I was a huge Bee Gees fan, so I included a cover of their song ``To Love Somebody'' on my second album, Kafunta.

Her rhythm section included Steve Howe, who would go on to become famous as Yes's guitarist, Ashton Gardner & Dyke, known for their hard rock music, and vocalists Leslie Duncan and Kay Garner.
Eric Clapton was so impressed with P.P. Arnold's vocals and live performance that he accepted Robert Stigwood's offer to produce, continuing the unfinished sessions with Barry Gibb. The touring members of Delaney & Bonnie later changed their name to Derek & the Dominos and recorded a continuation of P.P. Arnold's ``The Turning Tide'' sessions with additional vocalists Rita Coolidge and Doris Troy.

Arnold), who was already a member of Elton John's band at the time. .
Unfortunately, despite collaborating with such notable musicians and recording the work with Barry Gibb and Eric Clapton, this album was shelved. Since then, it has become P.P. Arnold's mission to officially release it. With the help of her current manager, Sally Claydock, and producer Bill Levenson, she was finally able to secure permission from a number of (initially unsupportive) publishers.
Steve Craddock, who mixed the new album, was given the use of Paul Weller's Blackburn Studios and assisted by his engineer Charles Rees.
``This work records my growth and development since Immediate,'' says P.P. Arnold. "It's also about me fighting desperately to survive as a working solo artist at a time when so much has been lost in my career. I'm so excited to be able to hear and experience that in this day and age. It's a wonderful journey down memory lane."
