In 1977, the Portland Trailblazers were at the peak of their game. Anticipating the team’s meteoric rise toward an NBA championship, songwriter Ron Stassens assembled his own dream team. Featuring members of Pleasure, Transport, and Slickaphonic, Stassens penned a theme song to amplify the Blazers' ascent and wound up with an album’s worth of soulful, disco-funk material.
Centering on Slickaphonic frontman, Milton Davis, the band was hopeful. But like the vast majority of Portland's musical output, the reels received a dose of regional airplay before being shelved. Davis left town. Stassens and the backing band moved on. Years later, we now have this artifact, featuring a who's who in Portland's musician community.
"Let Me In" signifies Davis' yearning to be seen by his peers at a time when local musicians’ aspirations for fame and fortune were all too unlikely in Portland’s gatekept club scene - a quaint industry both culturally and geographically isolated from national access. Black musicians redlined in the city’s Albina district were disproportionately affected. Buried within a love song, Davis’ crooning on “All I Wanna Do” spells it out:
‘Some people want to drive a cadillac car / Some people want to be a Hollywood star / Oh no, not me / My poor heart just can’t break free / All I wanna do is think about you.’
Mystery surrounds Davis' background and why this tremendous suite of recordings has remained unreleased. In its time, the “Blazermania” single was successful enough that the band performed it on repeat during the team’s championship celebration (images of this can be seen on ESPN’s recent “30 For 30” featuring Bill Walton, as well as on the album’s back side jacket).
What we do know is that Davis came of age in the Houston area where in high school he joined The Four Tempos - a soul group that would make their way to Los Angeles, cutting a few 45s for Rampart Records. When the group disbanded, he steadily worked his way up the West Coast Chitlin Circuit before landing in Portland. There he would fall in step with Albina's finest, fronting Slickaphonic for a short time. It is believed he would later front Doc Severinsen’s big band on European tours throughout the 1980s and produce R&B singles for major label artists throughout the 1990s. Davis passed in late 2020, having remained largely disconnected from Albina’s musician community since the time of this recording.
As with all releases in our catalog, listeners may now appreciate a piece of Albina’s legacy otherwise buried. Its impact has been obscured in such a way that Stassens, engineer Bob Stoutenburg, and the participating musicians on these takes can’t fully recall the cast of players on the sessions that make up the record. Years of interviews and sleuthing the highest quality tapes have produced the record we have here - a recording that all these years later demands, “Let me in.”

Slim fit
Size: Large, Color: Brown
I recently purchased the brown slim-fit suit and am very impressed! For reference, I’m 6’2” and 222 lbs, and while I usually wear a size large, I went with an XL based on the fit advice and it was the perfect choice. This suit does run a bit small, so ordering a size up is definitely the way to go.
The slim fit is flattering and modern without being restrictive, and the rich brown color adds a unique and stylish touch to any occasion. The material feels high-quality, and the overall craftsmanship is excellent. If you're looking for a sharp, well-fitting suit, this one is a fantastic option—just be mindful of the sizing!

Good Decision !
Size: Large, Color: Dark Black, Size: Large, Color: Dark Black
Upon receiving the suit we were definitely skeptical because certain materials don't match the pictures. But Baby when we say this one came and showed up. It was great material , not cheap feeling if you get what Im saying. The pants, jacket and vest all came as it said it would. Nothing was missing! It came pressed and very wrinkle free so it was taking care of prior to shipping out. We got a Large for my son because of course he wanted a slimmer fit. But it did work out. He had enough room to comfortably be able to move. And for it truly was a steal for how much it costed. This literally felt like it was suppose to cost a few hundred , but it was so affordable.

"Showstopper Suit That Turned Heads All Night!”
Size: Medium, Color: Violet Purple, Size: Medium, Color: Violet Purple
I absolutely love this suit. We bought it specifically to match my son's girlfriend's prom dress, and it could not have been a more perfect choice. After she picked out her gown, I spent the entire Sunday searching for a suit that would complement it, and when I saw this one, I knew it was the one. The colors, the pattern, the style—it all came together perfectly.
When prom day came, my son looked so confident, handsome, and proud. He and his date looked stunning together, like they coordinated their outfits down to the smallest detail. You could tell they were a couple just by the way they complemented each other. He received nonstop compliments, not only at the prom send-off but even later that night when we went to Texas Roadhouse. People were turning their heads and praising the look. It was truly a moment.
This was hands down one of the best purchases I have ever made on Amazon. I do not usually write reviews, but this suit deserves the recognition. It was sleek, bold, well-fitted, and absolutely top tier. If you're considering this suit, do it. It is a total showstopper.

Good value
No give to the fabric so it was a little snug but over all great tux for the price. Had to cut a few loose threads on the inside of the jacket but other than that no issues.

Comfortable & Attractive!
Size: Large, Color: Yellow, Size: Large, Color: Yellow
Husband love all their styles. Soft, flexible and comfortable. He looks amazing in it and received a ton of compliments, even won the best dressed award! He’s 5’10” and roughly 180#. True to its size and breathable. He says his “man area” is even comfortable and not squished like most suits do. Color is true as well.
