My favorite UD song!
The Undisputed Truth's "You + Me = Love" is a powerful record from start to finish! Norman Whitfield and the group never sounded better. It filled the dance floors quick, too.
While I don't think it's as good as some of their Motown stuff, it's still a tremendous funky disco track.
Let's Go Down To The Disco, from the same Method To The Madness album, is another excellent funky disco number,
"You + Me = Love" was the first 12 inch record I bought.
This title will be released on November 20, 2015.
Product Description
• The Undisputed Truth is one of the Funkiest Bands of all time.
• These two albums “Method To The Madness” and “Smokin’” are produced by legendary Motown Producer Norman Whitfield who also produced The Temptations and Rose Royce amongst others.
• The Undisputed Truth was the only band that left Motown with Norman when he set up his label Whitfield Records with Warner Brothers.
• “Method To The Madness” and “Smokin’” were the last two albums released by the band in 1976 & 1979 respectively.
• "Method To The Madness" featured the Disco Anthems 'You + Me = Love' [[rumoured to be the first 12" single ever released and featuring the vocals of Taka Boom, sister of Soul legend Chaka Khan, this track went to #2 on the US Dance chart and the full 11 minute version is available on this release) and 'Let's Go Down To The Disco' [[again the full length version is on this unique release).
• “Method To The Madness” was probably the Bands most successful album, and a tough act to follow, but “Smokin’” is a great album and featured classic cuts such as ‘Show Time’, ‘Atomic Funk’ and ‘Space Machine’.
