Speaking.

It's very much a female Barry White-type thing.

Not quite the strident aggression of Millie Jackson though.

Written by Holland-Beatty-Holland!

"Violin. Violin. Violin."

Turning into the Love Boat theme.

Wah-Wah Watson does a sort-of cover of this on his one and only solo album.

Track 2 - I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do the Walking.

In fact, I'm pretty sure he's playing on this album.

He does all those 'chacka-chacka-chacka-ch' tchoww' guitar bits.

This was the single apparently.

Settled into a more typical soul-disco style.

That bit reminded me of something, And I will not rest till I remember what it was.

Or I forget. Which ever comes first.

Track 3 - Only You (Can Love Me Like You Love Me).

What was DR doing at this time I wonder?

Too early for Love Hangover surely.

Nope, Love Hangover was also 1976.

The Wiz was deffo later on.

1978?

It's a fact not often acknowledged, but The Wiz was directed by Sidney Lumet.

Doing a self-titled Soul-Disco album. Which I suspect wouldn't be a million miles away from this.
