What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Thought CH had done this one but can't find it. Does this search thing actually work? This scored higher than I expected. Must be that nostalgia thing again. This is the Leagues fifth album and it netted them a #1 single in the states and #8 U.K. with Human. After the label had been disappointed with the outcome of the bands previous release, new production was determined to be what was needed. Enter Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis who were hot at the time. A falling out in the studio between producers and band over control (Jam & Lewis decided their material should be used), led to the band walking out before mixing completion, leaving Jam and Lewis to finish it up. Funny that all three singles released were Jam,Lewis compositions. Funny also that those 3 tracks were also my highest scoring tracks. The band were not very up on the album. Once it became a hit though. they jumped on board, and now say the album saved their career. So does the success belong to band or producers? The album went to #7 U.K. and #35 U.S. Surprised the #1 single didn't propel the album higher than that. Other than Swang making me cringe, it's a pretty good album, with 3 standout tracks. I do love Human, but went with Love Is All That Matters as my fav (love that chorus), a 6 minute track on the album, but cut to 3 for the included video single. I Need Your Loving is actually a great disco song, and you won't see me connect the words great and disco very often.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Swang

Best Track - Love Is All That Matters

Love forgiving
Love for good
Love to keep us faithful
After all is said and done
Love is all that matters

Got this beautiful situation
I’ve finally found out
What life’s about
Want to talk about it
In my conversation
Going to tell the world
Going to sing it
From the highest mountain top

Love forgiving
Love for good
Love to keep us faithful
After all is said and done
Love is all that matters

Every person pledge allegiance
All our efforts
To one common cause
Take a minute to improve a life
Form a legion
That’s united for a love cause

Love forgiving
Love for good
Love to keep us faithful
After all is said and done
Love is all that matters
