Johnson understands the value of showmanship! Las Vegas, funny masks and a great leopard print jacket! Where can I find a jacket like that?
Johnson, like Liberace, understood that you could be a great musician and no one would notice, until you play a tune wearing a monkey mask.
From the back cover: Perfect for dancing, here is Don Johnson's colorful display of "souped up" Organ, Vibes, Piano and Accordion – with a beat A full rhythm section (Darrel Balasty, Guitar; Ed Stapleton, Bass; Walter Soffer, Drums) enriches the unique sounds that have won world-wide praise for DOn's "Organ Combo DeLuxe." And they're presented with magnificent high fidelity from stereo tapes as heard at the Lake Breeze Hotel, Buckeye Lake, Ohio and the Fremont Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada!

Featured as a single act in nite clubs for a decade, Don cleverly employs $20,000 worth of sound-lighting effects to produce a show of his own. Because his music packs a solid beat, he keeps both dancers and listeners happy. His colorful jackets add sparkle to black-lite on gayly-colored sombrero, Cuban Tubo, and marraccas – getting across a terrific Latin set. The crowds crave his spirited songfests, get laughs from Clown-Monkey mask routines, and thrill to the thunder-lighting of Stormy Weather and Frankenstein.
"Music Is Fun With Don Johnson" – and when you add to his wonderful musical ability a decided charm and friendliness plus a sincere desire to entertain, it's easy to account for Don't phenomenal popularity and wide acclaim wherever he is featured.

I happen to have the actual Hammond organ that Don used for the act and on the albums. The Hammond still works. Thought youd' wanna know. ;)
