The album I'm In Heaven by the Philly soul/disco band Touch of Class is known for its smooth, lushly orchestrated sound, heavily influenced by the Philadelphia soul style. The album was produced by John Davis and features various members of the legendary Salsoul Orchestra, including Vince Montana on vibraphone.
The record is characterized by soaring, groovy arrangements that blend R&B, soul, pop, and disco elements. Critics and soul fans have praised its plush instrumentation, often comparing its sound to the work of producer Thom Bell. The title track itself is noted for having a beautiful instrumental break featuring the vibraphone. The group's vocal style is described as sometimes fragile, but generally well-suited to the robust, dance-oriented grooves provided by Davis's production.
Expanded and remastered editions of the album often include bonus tracks such as "Said It Before," "God Bless Me," and various 7" and disco versions of the main songs.
