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

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

First true love affair

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.

I heard this in new York city in 1981. I was 7, I cry every time I hear it. My entire family was alive. Now Half is here. I lost my half family by Drugs, Alcoholism, Aids, all the craziness of the early 80s living in the South Bronx. Love this Canadian funk underground song. They don't make them like they used to.
