I liked Very Special, but never was a fan of her voice. I don't think she is a "great" singer, but good. She always reminded me of a gospel singer.

That is talented family that goes unsung no pun intended. music
Very Speial is a nice cut.

Hubert and Ronnie are cold. I always thought about if he hadn't left EWF, but we were still blessed with his solo stuff.

Have you guys heard "Love Comes Easy" by Eloise Laws (1977)? music

That's one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard...it's very dreamy and hypnotic....sounds like a Gamble and Huff production,but it's not....play this song and let it take you on a trip.

The song is pinned/composed by Thom Bell, which explains the "Gamble & Huff" connection.

Yeah, I remember hearing it from this album, although it sounds re-recorded(esp since this is a 1999 release - not a remastered album, mind you).



Her stuff is SO hard to find disbelief sigh

I have "Love Comes Easy" (the original 1977 version) on a compilation featuring soul music divas.It also includes songs by Brenda Russell,Diana Ross,Dionne Warwick and others.
