Mikki’s album, simply called Mikki has a brightly colored front cover and not much else.  There are no songwriter, producer, arranger, or musician credits (only music publishing companies are given).   

The album was released in 1982 on Emerald International Records, a small Philadelphia label whose other artists – Spaze-Ka-Dett and Jamo – are similarly anonymous.  (Jamo’s full name is Jamo Thomas; he is a soul singer from the Bahamas).
