a post-disco scandal
sort of like that La Diva album of Ree's
and Another Taste album of A Taste Of Honey's

only song I could stomach
was "In The Still Of The Night" sad

Thing is, A Taste Of Honey IS a disco group,,,and I can even stomach the idea of Candi doing disco(considering that she's a soul singer).

But I just can't stomach the idea of Aunt ReRe doing disco,,,,the whole 'La Diva' bullshit sounds like she was going with the motion, just to get a hit yunno lol it wasn't right up her alley. Whereas Candi sounded natural doing it.

I feel you, Ree+disco=scandal
and yes A Taste Of Honey was a disco group
but around the time Another Taste came out ('79 I think)
disco was outta there

besides that self titled one
(w/ "Boogie Oogie")
was way more FUNKY than disco
there were all of maybe 3 disco-ish songs
the rest was pure bass guitar funk & balladry
I love those girls love

back to Candi though
I love "Summer Time With You"
(from Young Hearts Run Free)
that is pure bliss
for a Wonderlove STAN like myself

I heard a Wonderlove mention, is it a Stevie Wonder pinned gem?

Candi KILLES them ballads though, boy music You gotta hear her rendition of Bobby Womack's "One More Chance On Love",,,,,one word; divine worship

naw, I don't think Stevie
has anything to do with the track
(I used to have the vinyl...
but I got rid of it
because "STWY" is the only song
I liked from there)

but we have Niecy & Lani on the BG vocals
and some other folks
I'm kind of wishing
I would have held on to that copy I had
but the album cover was VERY worn
I have "Summer Time With You" on mp3
if you'd like to hear it
(I ripped it from the vinyl
so the quality is not all that great)
