This is gonna be a toughie. I heard it today on the muzak in our store, too much background noise to pick out lyrics, except it's a relatively slow love song. Pretty sure it was recorded between 1971 and 1976. Male vocalist, similar in sound to Johnnie Taylor/Marvin Gaye. I've heard the song before, but it's been like 35 years since I've heard it, and when it came on today a HUGE light bulb went on, becuase I'd heard it before, but totally forgotten about it. I know it's not a BIG hit, but a smaller hit. the most distinctive thing about it was the background vocals, through the verses, he would sing a line, then high female voices would go "ahhh!" at the end of each line he sings [[held for a couple of seconds, high and somewhat operatic). Like I said, not much to go on, any suggestions would be helpful.

the more I listen and think about it, It REALLY sounds like Johnnie Taylor... is there any of his songs that have that distinctive background vocal like that?

Well.. since it was on the muzak at our store, I found out what station it was set on, then kept watching the running playlist, until something came up that I thought could be it. And there it was!
