70s disco/soul classic of the day: "Why Leave Us Alone" by Five Special (1979)



I've been listening to this jam all week long.It's on the 2-CD set "Journey Into Paradise:The Larry Levan Story",which features the complete 12" version (nearly 11 minutes long).Who remembers this jam?

I was looking for a Larry Levan compilation this past weekend with no luck. Damned record stores!

I've got the long version - that is a BAAAAADDDDD song! Didn't know who recorded it for a long time 'til I heard a dj say it was Five Special. Used to get played a lot during the rush hour mix on one of the radio stations in my area.

"You Can't Hide Your Love From Me" is a kickass jam.Oddly,I don't remember hearing it back in the day.
