While he would enjoy the commercial success during a string of albums in the mid- to late '70s, he also lent his production and songwriting skills to several labelmates, including the Natural Four. After the closing of Curtom Records in 1980, Hutson's career diminished into obscurity with the exception of 1982's jazz-funk-tinged Paradise. However, he has maintained a strong cult following among soul collectors to this day, and in 2000 Sequel Records had the good sense to reissue not only the original albums on CD but a two-disc anthology spanning the greatest hits of his career.
Love the Feeling
Leroy Hutson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walau perih dan duka menikam
Tiada kan henti ku lari mengejar
Cinta Ilahi dan cita menjulang
Padukan hati satukan langkah
Lipatgandakan amal kebajikan
Kepada Allah kita kan berserah
Kobarkan semangat di dalam jiwa
Enyahkan duka nestapa di dada
Lantunkan munajat pada Yang Kuasa
Teguhkan pilihanmu di jalan-Nya
Selagi hayat di kandung badan
Tak kan ku rela dakwah dinista
Balikkan arus dan lalu ciptakan
Gelombang baru yang kian menerjang
