It Must Be Love/More Of You

CD [[Item 808137) Polydor/Expansion [[UK), 1978/1979 — Condition: New Copy





A pair of overlooked female soul gems – back to back on a single CD! The first album is It Must Be Love – sweet late 70s modern soul from Alton McClain & Destiny – a great little female vocal trio with a sound that ranges from lightly funky with jazzy flourishes, to soaringly soulful! The group kind of follow in a tradition started by Honeycone and First Choice, and improved upon by The Emotions – and like that latter group, the girls move from the easier disco tracks that you'd normally expect, into a range of soulful styles that all come off equally well with their vocal technique. Webster Lewis handled some of the nice string arrangements – and players include Wah Wah Watson on guitar and Lee Ritenour on keys. titles include "Crazy Love", "Sweet Temptation", "Taking My Love For Granted", "My Empty Room", "Push & Pull", and "The Power Of Love". More Of You is one of the best records by this great little modern soul trio who should have gone onto bigger and better things. The session's got a strong mellow groove, typical of some of the non-hit soul coming out of labels like Polydor and Capitol at the end of the 70s – and tracks include "Stares & Whispers", "Love Waves", "More Of You", "99 1/2", "You Bring Me To My Morning Light", and "Thank Heaven For You".

Thanks for the heads up, lakeside. Alton McClain & Destiny's "Crazy Love" is one of my favorite dance tracks from the late '70s.

PS: I just pre-ordered my CD copy. Thanks again!

I pre-ordered mine, too, Gary. "Crazy Love" is also one of my fav's. I have the first CD "It Must Be Love" and it's a gem as I also have their "Gonna Tell The World" CD.

I've been hoping the "More of You" CD would eventually be released and here it is! Merry Christmas!
