I remember buying this album when i was a freshman in
high school. It was far from my favorite confunkshun album
but it had it's moments. I thought some of the songs on
side 2 of the album were bland. They rebounded nicely with 7.

"Ladies Wild" and "Too Tight" are some ass shakers.

HUGE fan of CFS here. Love the bass on "Touch".....gets the head noddin here all the time. Still have a big promo poster of this album cover that used to hang on my wall as a teen. 1980.....what a year in da funk. This is one of the more underrated CFS efforts, I would say.

Spirit of Love= Classic
Ladies Wild, Too Tight, and the title cut touch were far and away
the highlights from and otherwise bland effort from the band.

I liked the entire album! But, different strokes, lol

I can say that Spirit of Love and Touch are my two favorite Con Funk Shun albums....

I guess for me Spirit of Love was a tough album to follow and
touch didn't quite measure up but Too Tight and Lady's Wild
were worth the price of the album alone.
