Pressure Featuring Ronnie Laws - Pressure (1979)

Ronald Wayne "Ronnie" Laws (born October 3, 1950, Houston, Texas) is an American jazz, rhythm and blues and funk saxophonist. He is the younger brother of jazz flautist Hubert Laws and the older brother of Debra Laws.

Laws attended Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, for two years. In 1972, Laws joined the fledgling group Earth, Wind & Fire, playing saxophone and flute on their album Last Days and Time.
He left the band soon afterwards, long before they achieved their commercial success.
Together with the Soul/Funk band Pressure, Ronnie released in 1979 the album "Pressure featuring Ronnie Laws". Ronnie also produced this fine Jazz-funk album.
