Soon, Barry took a shine to one of them named Glodean and the next thing you know, they are married. In any case, the girls first got together in 1969 and became backup singers for Barry White productions.
I like it though, a bit rougher and tougher. The production values on this one were sterling, sorry I cant say the same for Under The Influence of Love.the song sounds harsher than it is due to the lack of the abundantly sugary strings like its predecessor. the run time of the two songs came to 8:19 giving DJ's a chance to breathe since mixing three minute singles together took up all of their time. It was written for Love Unlimited as an instrumental introduction to their song Under The Influence Of Love. Some critics have written this off as fluff, nothing substantial, and my favorite the cheesy soundtrack to a porn movie.nevertheless it became a defining moment in the evolution of disco. I feel intoxicated, surrounded by all those ethereal strings and the different levels of instruments like bass, and the wah wah guitars magically shaking my booty! Freedom BABY! It would be a few months before the double whammy of Rock Your Baby and Rock The Boat would cement the future of disco on radio, but Barry White got there first with this one.
People ran to the record stores for this one and that forced radio to include it on their playlists. This was the very first disco song that hit #1 on the pop chart and broke out in the clubs because radio would not touch it, proving the power of the DJ.
