Monster (Herbie Hancock album)

Monster is the 29th album by pianist Herbie Hancock. As a follow-up to the album Feets, Don't Fail Me Now (1979), it avoided jazz and funk in favor of disco songs only. The track "Stars In Your Eyes" was issued as an extended (11:20) 12" single. The album features vocals on each track, and also includes an appearance by Carlos Santana on the opening track 'Saturday Night' which was the first of many eventual collaborations with Carlos Santana including the 1980 Santana album The Swing of Delight.
