Along with wife Gwen Mccrae, Miami-based artist George Mccrae was a prime mover on the early disco front with his own R&B chart-topper "Rock Your Baby" in 1974. With disco kings Harry Casey and Richard Finch of Kc & The Sunshine Band producing and writing his output on Henry Stone's T.K. label, Mccrae rapidly returned with the double-sided hit "I Can't Leave You Alone"/"I Get Lifted," but fads being fickle, Mccrae's fortunes slipped as the decade ensured. ~ Bill Dahl, All Music Guide
