This song did not get the recognition it deserves! I found it by accident back in the 1980's, and I'm a DISCO junkie! Absolutely beautiful song!!! Amen Barry!
Martin Cohen
It's impossible to adequately describe the seismic effect this album had when it was first released. No one had previously put such a large orchestra in a studio to record such a unique musical genre. Be in no doubt of the musical artistry on display here. A storming rhythm section consisting of drummer Ed Greene, bassist Wilton Felder, Melvin (wah wah) Ragin on guitar and Gene Page's masterful arranging. Wilton Felder's outrageous bass licks over the fade is a masterclass all of its own. Timeless!

Listen to this freaking song. Omg what talent. You can hear every single string, drumbeat guitar chord. Vocals, amazing harmonies. Song writing, producing, arranging You will never again hear music that was this good from about 1962-1980.

The only problem was that the women couldn't sing...had no chemistry.

@Tuff Bud what? Are you kidding? Listen to these harmonies. I totally disagree, I think they were fantastic

@Tuff Bud you don't really know what you're talking about!
Eduardo De Jesus
This is a masterpiece!

All you people who claim this song did not get the recognition it deserves must be young and came after this era... I was there and this was the shit.... this group was the shit when they hit back in 72. 73. 74 they were all over the place... Barry White + Love Unlimited + Love Unlimited Orchestra starting with WALKING IN THE RAIN WITH THE ONE I LOVE
