Who's Making Love

I like one song of this CD. I would have purchased the song but wanted to see if I would like more of the songs. Turns out not so much but that is on me. No matter, I'm keeping the CD.

LOVE IT

Not much to say except that Johnnie's music is good listening and dancing music. I grew up listening to all the different artists that sang "Soul Music" and I love them all. I bought this particluar CD because I did not have it and I wanted to add it to my collection.

REMEMBER THE SOUL STIRRERS? HOW ABOUT SAM COOKE OR EDDIE FLOYD? WELL, JOHNNIE TAYLOR ALONG WITH SAM & EDDIE WAS A MEMBER. IN 1968 "WHO'S MAKING LOVE SOLD WELL OVER 3 1/2 MILLOIN COPIES. ONLY MARVIN GAYE'S; "I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVIVE" OUTSOLD JOHNNIE'S SINGLE, THEN. THE ALBUM WAS RELEASED WITH SO MANY POTENTIAL SINGLES. "POOR MAKE BELIEVER", "HOLD ON THIS TIME", "I'M NOT THE SAME PERSON(I USE TO BE)AND "TAKE CARE OF YOUR HOMEWORK" ALL JUST JEWELS IN THE CROWN. 1960'S "STAND BY ME, FATHER"; WAS JOHNNIE'S BREAK FROM GOSPEL TO SOLO STATUS. "WHO'S MAKING LOVE"; WAS JOHNNIE'S SURGE TO "STAR STATUS" 1976'S "DISCO LADY"; WAS THE FIRST CERTIFIED PLATINUM SINGLE. NEED I SAY MORE?

THE 60'S SOME OF THE BEST R & B MUSIC EVER. ATLANTIC, MOTOWN AND YES THE DOWN HOME OF STAX RECORDS. IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT WHO'S MAKIN' LOVE. THIS IS A SOUL CLASSIC,BOOKER T. AND THE MGs THE MEMPHIS HORNS AND ISAAC HAYES. JOHNNIE TAYLOR SINGS HIS --- OFF.ONE OF THE GREAT VOICES OF THAT ERA. GO MR. TAYLOR WITH YOUR BAD SELF.

Johnnie Taylor must be remembered as one of the best southern soul singers, along with his Stax-mates (Otis Redding, William Bell, Eddie Floyd) and James Carr or Arthur Alexander. He's got a tender voice, that suits perfectly in bluesy, but also country-gospel soul stuff, and this record contains the danceable title track, that was later covered byblue note's funky-jazz sax machine, Lou Donaldson.

I am browsing this because I am a fan of Doves -which is what late '90s Manchester Dance Band Sub Sub became after their studio and equipment were burned in a fire.I will return with a new review, after I have listened to it. I just wanted to correct the erroneous impression that the amazon page has given.

Great
