I remember this track. They play this on XM Radio from time to time.

BTW, did Change also had a hand in House & Garage?

What do you mean, house music? I have heard a house version of their song "Searching".

I love this track.

Tell me, had Luther Vandross already left the group when this came out?

The male on this song sounds a little like him. I couldn't tell.

On "Glow Of Love" you can definitely recognize Luther's voice.

Thanks!

He also put together a vocal quintet called Luther , consisting of himself, former Shades of Jade-members Anthony Hinton and Diane Sumler , Theresa V. Reed , and Christine Wiltshire , which signed to Atlantic's Cotillion Records subsidiary. Their self-titled debut album was released in June 1976.



It did not sell well enough to reach the charts, but the tracks "It's Good for the Soul," "Funky Music (Is a Part of Me)," and "The Second Time Around" reached the R&B Top 40. Reed and Wiltshire dropped out, and the remaining trio made a second Luther album, This Close to You (April 1977),



with Vandross given top billing, while Hinton and Sumler were credited as featured soloists. The title song reached the R&B charts, but that wasn't enough to keep Cotillion from dropping the group, which then broke up. (Vandross acquired the rights to the Luther recordings and saw to it that they remained out of print.)Meanwhile, Vandross continued doing sessions .....
