- Review by Jason Elias: This is Purim's first album for Warner Bros. after spending 1973-1976 with Milestone. While Purim's last dates with Milestone began to reflect a more commercial jazz sound, the style came to fruition by the time of this 1977 album. Drummer Leon "Ndugu" Chancler is listed as producer, and George Duke is also here, under his alias of Dawili Gonga. Given that fact, this effort sounds like a Duke production job, and like one of his late-'70s classic albums. Patrice Rushen's meditative "You Love Me Only" strikes the delicate balance between Purim's singular phrasing and persona and more streamlined production values. Earth Wind and Fire members Al McKay and Phillip Bailey contribute "Angels," and it has the sound of period EWF juxtaposed to Purim's patented and sensual wordless vocalizations. Although the artist adapts to each style, Nothing Will Be As It Was...Tommorow also has her covering the work of Brazilian artist Milton Nascimento, who co-wrote the title. Nascimento's whimsical "Fairy Tale Friend" gets a funkier treatment, as the song's lyrics lose nothing in translation. The album's most poignant track from Nascimento, "Bridges," has a doleful arrangement and a gentle vocal from Purim. Although this effort seemed to get lost in the shuffle, it is well worth seeking out, especially for lovers of late-'70s jazz fusion.
Love this song
This Song always put a smile and give off positive energy since 1976
What do you know about this song Billy? Glenarden, MD Representing. Right on my "O.G." Brother.😃
I was a teenager when my hometown radio station played this. I fell in love with Flora at a young age ❤❤❤ WDAS FM PHILLY BABY!!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
This entire album is wonderful and uplifting. A joy to listen to. I have always enjoyed Flora and Airto.
Back in my DJ days, I could occasionally get people to dance to this, even in the disco era!
When life was easy breezy!
Love this song when I was 14 year old..this brings tear to me..i lost my grand daughter when she was just 2 weeks i have never embrace her because she's at the ICU because of covid 19..she is now an angel with our lord almighty God..
I was the same age!! Love this song❤❤❤
One of my favorites of all time. Most people have no idea what they are missing in Flora and Airto. Because they didn't chase the commercial money they are largely unknown to the general public. This song never looses it's flavor.
Just BEAUTIFUL MUSIC is all. Just Beautiful music.
This woman could SING!!
Love Flora and always loved this song. Bought the album when it first hit the stores.
I love this song & has settled many a grand-baby on shoulder to sleep
Flora Purim, fight covid..You are the best..
takes me back to 70's something. bright, happy, optimistic smile

Great liner notes above. This is one of some forty plus CDs featuring Flora and/or Airto in my collection. Actually met the two of them once, and briefly chatted in the back of the Tokyo Blue Note van after a late show. I guess the Patrice Rushen cover is my favorite on this album.
I have always loved this.
🥲 this song takes me back haven't heard it in years made my day.
Delightful song.
Heeeey I like this bop.. Odee groovy
Ouvi essa música pela primeira vez em 1986
The Bassline is just so fucking hot!
SHOW DE BOLA ESSE SOM. TOCAVA NA FM RECORD.
belas lembranças daquele quarto cor de rosa,com um desenho enorme na parede de um morcego,do lado da cama,esse som fez a minha cabeça progredir cada dia mais com o som de Flora e Airto - Angels
J'ai donné le prénom FLORA à ma fille par amour de FLORA PURIM
