We Got Some Catchin’ Up to Do

The track was cut for Jean Carn’s 1981 album Sweet and Wonderful on TSOP/Philadelphia International, during sessions at Kendun Recorders, Sigma Sound Studios, and Conway Studios. It was written by Al Johnson and issued amid the album’s Norman Connors–guided production team, with Jean Carn and McKinley Jackson among the key credited personnel. The song appeared on an album that Billboard called Carn’s most impressive to date in both performance and repertoire. Within the LP, it stood out as one of the smoother, midtempo showcases for her vocal phrasing and the Philadelphia soul production style. The track remained a favorite on soul and rare-groove playlists and later appeared on Jean Carn anthologies and reissue sets. Its enduring pull comes from its polished Philly-soul arrangement and Carn’s expressive delivery.
