70s slow groove of the day: "Feel Like Makin' Love" by Roberta Flack (1974)





Feel Like Makin Love
(written by Flack and McDaniels)

Strollin in the park
watchin' winter turn to spring
walkin' in the dark
seeing lovers do their thing


Ooh...ooh...ooh...that's the time
I feel like makin' love to you
That's the time
I feel like makin' dreams come true,oh baby

When you talk to me
when you're moanin' sweet and low
when you're touchin' me
and my feelings start to show

Ooh...ooh...ooh....that's the time
I feel like makin' love to you
That's the time
I feel like makin' dreams come true,oh baby

In a restaurant
holdin' hands my candlelight
while I'm touchin' you
wanting you with all my might

Ooh...ooh...ooh...that's the time
I feel like makin' love to you
That's the time
I feel like makin' dreams come true,oh baby

Strollin' in the park
watchin' winter turn to spring
walkin' in the dark
seeing lovers do their thing

Ooh...ooh...ooh....that's the time
I feel like makin' love to you
That's the time
I feel like makin' dreams come true,oh baby

Lovely song! and that Ralph McDonald sound is unique and just oozes "classic" everytime I hear it music
Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy!

Yeah, they are! That's why I love her music. The first time I heard this was when I bought her greatest hits about 15 years ago or so. I saw it in the track listing and thought, "That Bad Company song? Okay." Then heard a different song that I fell in love with instantly. One of her best.

Imagining a Roberta Flack version of Bad Company's Feel Like Makin' Love.


Very strange audio/visual. wink
(especially the chorus section)

You should hear Millie Jackson's cover version of Bad Company's "Feel Like Making Love".She does a great job with it!

I can just hear Millie now.....

Ladies, if you want to keep your man home at night with you and away from those whores, you got to get hip like those whores. Do what the whores do honey. Give that son of a bitch some head.

Ladies, if you give that son of a bitch some head, he'll give you anything you want. You don't believe me? Hell, suck that motherfucker right up to the point of no return and then STOP! That son of a bitch will do anything you want him to do then. You'll be wearing furs and riding in Cadillacs like the rest of the whores.

SUCH a great tune! Roberta's the shit man! Great voice! I dig the D'Angelo cover too. It grooves a little more but the original's still tight!
