Description

Originally released in 1975 on Buddah Records.
Recording information: 06/09/1975-08/20/1975.
This album spawned two Billboard R&B Top Ten singles with “Money” and “Part Time Love.” The former is a midtempo cut with a polished texture but contrasted by Gladys Knight’s ardent vocals. The latter is a rather short but sweet-tempered ballad. Both peaked at number four with the latter surviving three weeks longer on the charts at 14. “Street Brother” is a blues number featuring an impressive Bubba Knight on lead vocals. The rendition of the Roberta Flack classic “Feel Like Makin’ Love” has an urban, blues ambience complemented by the cohesive touch of the Pips. Eugene McDaniels, who produced much of the album, also wrote this vintage number. The songs shine with eloquence and are seasoned with an inviting Southern aura. ~ Craig Lytle
