Don Ansell you're right about his production. He had a killer set of musicians. Strings on top, funk on the bottom. The whole song rides the drummer. Crispy high hats. Dead in the pocket. That drummer was brutally nasty. Barry broke into the game by writing bass lines for artist. He did it for free just to get on. So by the time he did his own thing, he was production ready. Find some of his old interviews. Lotta wisdom!
The entire album is a classic and phenominal! I think this album made Barry White his breakthrough. I remember the discos played it for a long time. Great memories of those years so long ago.
That singing from these ladies is just so beautiful that language cannot describe in a full way just how beautiful the singing is on this recording. When the guitar comes in with those beautiful 'runs' near -- not overpowering the singers, that just completes the recording.
Barry White as a producer was amazing. He brought funk and orchestration together like nobody else did. I’m talking bout a full and complete orchestra. And he found a Funky drummer ( bad ass white boy! Forgot his name but everybody know his licks from Barry’s “ I’m gonna love you...”). And listen to that guitar player as he is turned up in the mix as the song vamps to the end (2:44 right speaker). Funk and French horns! Amazing
Ed Greene! such an absolute beast on the drums , the way he drives and rides the groove on the love unlimited sessions is just phenomenal , surely a case study on how to play the drums
This is why I love real hip-hop. When producers, who Truly love music and appreciate it, sample these things, they treat them right, and that makes many of us listeners search them up. Mad props to brother Madlib. His J Dilla tribute is proof that Love and Soul are One and Eternal.
@@dreamfilms Also, "back in the day", they didn't teach people how to read. Maybe my eyes are deceiving me, but I'm pretty sure that I described how I love real hip-hop as the art of sampling within the genre gives notice to an old song that I would've never even known existed, let alone searched for. Just sayin.
EXACTLY....and to have that ear for music to mix it and create whole genre blows my mind. What I love about sampling in hip hop, is that it takes me back to the original and half the time I like that better. Shout out to 9th wonder!!!
From the album "Under The Influence Of Love Unlimited" on 20th Century-Fox records. Barry White wrote this song, conducts and speaks a few words of love as his girls Love Unlimited sings and the Love Unlimited Orchestra plays the music. Recorded in 1973, the Maestro of Love really knows his music. Let's keep the love, peace and soul alive for everyone everywhere!
+Floyd Bell Jr. This song was used in the 20th Century-Fox movie "Together Brothers". Check it out, now available on DVD with music and lyrics by Barry White. Also check out the movie soundtrack available on 20th Century-Fox Records.
Our Church was featured the movie during the funeral we sang in the choir. Trinity Missionary Baptist Church. The Church is now Bible Way Baptist Church. Galveston , Texas.
In spite of our current technology? Hip Hop in my opinion doesn't have enough sound lyrics that are meaningful? Right? These ladies are indcredibleduring the mid1970's Glodean White & the late Diane Taylor & Linda Jameshad a class among the female groups during that time? Bernard Hendricks
The pet at 2:05 ... didn’t a male group have a song that started with that same melody?? I used to have the song but I can’t find it and I forgot the name of the song and group
