Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so in love with you
Baby, I'll tell you why
I'm so much in love with you
Of all the girls I know
You are number one
And believe me I ain't lyin'
Of all the girls I like
Only you bewitch my mind
I swear by the stars above
My everlasting love
I will never hurt you
I wouldn't dare deceive you
My first affair

My first true love affair
First true love affair
I'll never let you go
Because I love you so
I don't want anybody else
Baby, I'll tell you why

The lyrics to Jimmy Ross's "First True Love" express a deep and unwavering love for a particular woman. The singer emphasizes the significance of this love, claiming that this woman is "number one" among all the girls he knows. He declares that this love is his "first true love affair," and he promises never to hurt or deceive her. The singer is so deeply in love with this woman that he doesn't want anyone else.
The repetition of the title phrase, "First True Love Affair," emphasizes the significance of this moment in the singer's life. "First" suggests that this love is of particular importance in his personal history, and "true" indicates that it is a genuine, authentic love. The use of the word "affair" emphasizes the romantic and passionate nature of this love.
One interesting aspect of this song is the way it blends disco and soul music. The funky bassline and the driving beat are hallmarks of disco, while the passionate delivery of the vocals and the lyrical focus on love and relationships recall soul music. Additionally, the song's use of horns, strings, and a choir create a lush and highly-produced sound that was popular in many disco songs.
Another interesting fact about this song is its connection to the emerging house music scene in the early 1980s. Jimmy Ross himself was a DJ at the famed Paradise Garage nightclub in New York City, which was a key venue for the development of house music. His song was later remixed and played at the club, becoming a cult favorite among dancers and DJs.

Something truly incredible took place between the end of say, 1976 and roughly the end of 1988. The most sensational music mixed by the most highly sought-after Dj's introduced a dance phenomenon the world hasn't seen, or enjoyed since.
It truly is amazing, and I was indeed blessed to experience it!
