"I Destroyed Your Love" by Special Delivery

Another one of my favorite slow jams.

Give it up y'all.

I have both parts on a Special Delivery compilation that a friend made me. I wonder if the album version is both parts together because I've heard it on the radio. Either that, or the radio must have blended both parts together and played them as one song.

On the compilation that I have,it sounds like the two parts were clumsily edited together lol you can hear the fadeout of Part 1,then Part 2 quickly starts playing,lol.

I used to love this song! Now THAT was a falsetto! The vocal arrangements were great on this song! And I ain't even gonna mention the harmonies! You're gonna have me pullin' out 45s here in a minute. :lol;

Actually a very good friend of mine made me a Special Delivery compilation from his vinyl, may he rest in peace. Another great Special Delivery song was "That's When It Hurts".

He made me so many great CDs of great slow jams by Ray, Goodman, and Brown, Enchantment, Marlena Shaw, Minnie Riperton, Richard "Dimples" Fields,....Bloodstone.."Go On And Cry" (Oh hell, I LOVE that song)....just so many slow jams.

He made CDs of slow jams I didn't have and I made him CDs of funk he didn't have. Between the two of us, I think we had everything an old school R&B lover would want. I miss my good buddy.

Go ahead and pull out those 45s because nothing is better than a good falsetto and folks like Special Delivery, Blue Magic, The Stylistics, Norman Conners, Earth, Wind, and Fire, Heatwave, Switch, The Delfonics, The Dramatics, and The Average White Band, GQ, and Cameo were absolutely doing it back then.

Indeed! lol Those falsetto vocalists were amazing back then.Just yesterday,I was listening to "Sho Nuff Must Be Love" by Heatwave and it just blew me away.THAT'S how an R&B song should sound!!
