Connick took his funk music on a tour of the United Kingdom in 1994, and later to the People's Republic of China in 1995, playing at the Shanghai Center Theatre. 29 October 1994 at the Brighton Centre, some fans left unhappy with the change of direction not expecting the jazz funk of the 'She' album, despite the tour being billed as supporting the new album. Those that remained enjoyed a very energetic performance.
Connick's funk albums She, and Star Turtle sold respectably, though some fans were upset with Connick's departure from his jazz roots.
All tracks by Harry Connick Jr. and Ramsey McLean except where noted.
