If you , like I , are a fan of the song

WHAT I DID FOR LOVE

you may want to seek out this version that came out in 1976 on Epic . I have the 45 ....and I'm not sure if there was a Three Degree LP released on Epic (?) that would've included it ???

It's a nice version ( but then is there ever a bad one ? )
with wonderful Three Degree harmonies ......

Produced by Brad Shapiro
Arranged dramatically by Richard Rome ( Ritchie Family )

Thanks Tony !
My promo copy makes no mention of it .
But it is on Gemm and it lists its titles as including :

1977 incl. What i did for love, Just leave me alone, Macaroni man, Gee baby, People with feeling, In love we grow

I'l have to wtch for it . I wonder if Richie Rome did the whole thing .....

Do you loke this version? ...my one complaint ....at one point she says ....what I did for your love ....

and I like to think the song is about a broader theme ... what we do for all the various loves that happen in the course of our lives ....

A small yet significant change of the meaning of the song ......:icon_rolleyes:

Remicks, I really liked the "Standing Up For Love" album! Philly sound all throughout and the title cut is a great upbeat number! Some lovely ballads too. Unfortunately, this album is another one of those overlooked treasures (IMHO). :icon_confused:
