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.

I called my lady on the phone today

The song "Lover's Holiday" by Leroy Hutson is a passionate plea to his lover to take a break from their everyday lives and go on a romantic holiday. The lyrics of the song describe Hutson's desire to leave behind all the stresses and troubles of their lives, even if it is just for a little while. He urges his lover to join him on this journey to find someplace where they can finally let go and give themselves over to love.
The song's chorus repeatedly emphasizes the idea of taking a "lover's holiday," where it is just the two of them, free from any distractions or worries. He expresses his commitment to making the trip as special and enjoyable as possible, by getting the best reservations and creating a romantic atmosphere. He recognizes the importance of love and understanding between them, which is all that they really need to make this work.
The background vocals of the song add to the romantic appeal of the lyrics. As the seagulls and background singers clamor in, Hutson finds himself lost in the moment, urging his lover to give in and take that much-needed break together. The song ends on a high note with a final plea to come along, and a hopeful promise of love and excitement to come.
