I just uncovered my LOVE POWER 45 by Willie Hutch ... I'd completely forgotten how much I enjoyed this record back then .
THE DISCO COMPILATION CONSENSUS: -- (10/26/74 - 12/27/75)
152) LOVE POWER - Willie Hutch
(Motown) B= 14; C= 6; D= 39; Total points = 59
11 weeks on the chart (7/12 - 10/11/75); Peak: #23 (3 weeks)
This song is all Willie ....written produced and song by him alone .....
Its sort of a ROCK THE BOAT bass line meets KC horns in flavour … if that sets to mind a sound that is upbeat and buoyant ….. you’ve got it exactly right ….
( I'd like to mix it with YOUR LOVE IS A LIFESAVER Gayle Adams )
I’m going to have to start a thread about the numbskulls at Motown that blew the promotion of soooo much of their music in the mid- seventies:evil::evil::evil: :evil::evil:… guess Berry was off busy trying to make Diana a movie star …. and all the promotion folks back in the offices just screwed off :razz: …… too bad ……
Makes me sad to reminisce some times ...listening to this sweet ,optimistic, unpretentious delight …
I feel so sad for today’s youth whose music is far far removed from anything this gentle ……:cry:
Let me tell you about this love power :
Talking about that feeeeling that has you walking the street late at night
...I'm taling about that good ol' feeling, that gets way down in your bones
Once you get it , you can't leeeave that love alone
Talking about that thing that puts a little pep in your step .....
Talking about that thing called love:
That kept Romeo after Juliet all night 8)
Own this one if you can .....8)

Listening to this ..there's no doubt Willie Hutch experienced the power and magic of love during his life 8) ....... RIP
