One of the FIRST DISCO ALBUMS, when DISCO was making into the mainstream. Some call this LP SOUL/R&B, and they are definitely right. But it was in DISCOS that this album excelled. Six out of the eight tracks got heavy air-play in 1973. The best one, and it is tough to make that distinction, is FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY, or is it NOW THAT WE FOUND LOVE. You see my predicament!! How about PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER?? I still have my ORIGINAL album!! You should have this as well. On my scale from 1-10, it gets a very easy TEN!!!
