The Younghearts - ALL ABOUT LOVE * 1977

Esther Phillips once told us 'What A Difference A Day Makes', well a three year gap resulted in a very different sound for the group. Contemporary at the time, and enjoyable from a completely different perspective. Produced by George Tobin, this is another excellent bookmark from the Seventies. The guys cover Heatwave's song 'Sho Nuff Must Be Love' and David Gates torch song 'If'. These are not bad covers although the standard is set by the original material, in my humble opinion. 'Make A Little Wish' is a nice mid tempo offering and the opener, 'Let's Fall In Love Again', is a competent dancer. Drop down a beat or two and you come to my favourite song, a ballad entitled 'Queen Of My Heart'. Out on ABC in 1977 and a very nice addition to any soul collection. Frank Hayes, from the group, is now recording Gospel material. A very underrated group.
