A&S knew how to write and produce a track and Gladys just delivers! Love the entire track. Should've been a bigger dance hit.

Lol. My brother says he will never leave... the great things of a big city without the humongousness of nyc.
A great rockin' one - always loved it -
Valerie's brother , Jimmy remixed the song , but it got European and UK 12" commercial pressings only.
This version is on the album though.
One of my favorites. Loved the "About Love" album.

Was the entire album produced by Ashford and Simpson?
Yeah, A&S produced the whole album and since Landlord was brought up:
I too love their whole "About Love" album. Their vocal take on A&S's Bourgie, Bourgie is terrific. Speaking of that song, I really really wish Ashford & Simpson did their own vocal take. Their instrumental is wonderful, but I would have loved to hear their own vocal version. Oh well.
Yes and no for me . I wonder if A&S sensed this was a case where lyrics didn't necessarily strengthen the song ?? For some reason they chose to record it as an instrumental . [[Is that Ashford and Simpson's only instrumental release?)
Conversely I wish the flip of the John Davis version offered an instrumental:
Empress and the guys .... Luv me some Taste Of Bitter Love !.... https://vimeo.com/246334723
Loving Bourgie Bourgie too !....... https://vimeo.com/246333907
Am I too late ?........ 1979 !.. AWESOME !!!! https://vimeo.com/246323027
I remember checking out this track and liking it, but I listened to it today and absolutely loved it. I love how that happens. I also love "Bourgie, Bourgie"! I love the production on the whole About Love album really
[[I'm doing a lot of loving in this post )
I know A&S produced this album Tom. I bought the album back in the day and indeed the follow up which also had some input from A&S if my memory serves me currently, but was perhaps not quite as strong as the "about love" album. Great songs, superb production and impeccable vocals. What more could anyone possibly want?
