Fantastic 1974 soul album, from the prolific songwriter, was made in the shadow of and musically the same vein as Marvin’s ‘Whats Going On’. Highlights are his original of ‘Love Love Love’, ‘After hours’ , ‘Heaven On Earth’ the fantastic title track and ‘I’ll Always Be Your Lover’, but this album is strong throughout. JR’s lyrics and vocals are great throughout and the arrangements and production compliment perfectly. It is a classic, up there with Lou Courtney, Leroy Hutson, Tom Brock and the other great albums we have reissued. This album should be in every soul collection. BUY CD...
Epic Millie Jackson concept album from 1974 about a three way love affair, recorded in Muscle Shoals. Her version of ‘if Loving You Is Wrong’ with the spoken word ‘Rap’ is 11 minutes of pure magic. Her vocals of Phillip Mitchell’s ‘I’m Tired Of Hiding’ and Bobby Womack's ‘ I’m Through trying to prove my Love To You’ are outstanding. But this is an album that you have to listen to as a complete set , rather than individual tracks. One of Soul Music’s all time greatest albums. BUY CD here BUY LP here Listen If Loving You Is...
