In 1979, when Davis entered an L.A. studio to record her fifth and final album, she was reeling from a series of setbacks. Three years earlier, after recording her fourth album, Is It Love Or Desire, Davis was dropped from her label and the LP was subsequently shelved. In 1978, her beloved band Funk House went their separate ways. Looking for a fresh start, Davis relocated to Hollywood to focus on songwriting. Before long, British manager Simon Lait (Toni Basil), offered to fund her next project. With renewed vigor, Davis reunited with former Funk House guitarist Carlos Morales and brought together industry veterans like fusion drummer Alphonse Mouzon and session bassist Chuck Rainey. Old friends Anita and Bonnie Pointer (The Pointer Sisters) and Patryce "Choc'let" Banks joined Davis on vocals, as did Motown legend Martha Reeves. The resulting album, Crashin' From Passion, was her most musically diverse, blending elements of reggae and calypso ("I've Danced Before"), jazz ("Hangin' Out in Hollywood," "Tell Me a Few Things"), dark synth-pop ("She's a Woman"), and even disco ("All I Do Is Think of You").
