I know, you’re all familiar with this song from Angela Bofill’s debut album Angie from 1978…but it’s finally summer, I re-discovered this tune recently and it just provides the perfect summer soundtrack, so I guess these are good reason to tell you how great this tune is, just in case you ‘ve forgotten about it. And I mean really great with its fusion of jazz, soul and latin, the string section, the percussion by Roger Squitero and the choir consisting of members of the Dance Theater Of Harlem Choral Ensemble and Angela’s ethereal voice on top…the only song that springs to my mind that has a similar approach is Teena Marie’s Portuguese Love. I guess sometimes the old saying they don’t make records like that anymore is true.
