"The Greatest Love Story" is one of the best modern-soul disco album ever and is ultra rare. It's a private pressing published on Jamieko's out of Okland (CA). The album was conceived as soundtrack of the movie "Scrolls, The Book Of Life" and is soaked with religious elements reminded everywhere in the cover notes."I See Heaven", the amazing "Rapping With My Subconscious Mind", "I'm A Lady" and "Sho-Nuf Funky Beat" are outstanding tunes with a perfect mixture of funk, soul and boogie and make this album a very killer piece. All the tracks are written by Barbara J. Trotter (who produces too) on her own or together with Michael Robinson, Kenneth Chavis and Lee Henderson.
