THE ONCOMING TIMES - IF YOU HAD MY LOVE b/w WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT LOVE

What a gorgeous double sider, and one that seems to be the only release by this Chicago girl group.

When Donny Hathaway is listed as an arranger, the record is guaranteed not to disappoint; in fact, he turns in a downright brilliant pair of arrangements here. The a side is bubbly and infectious, while the b side is simply jaw drop gorgeous. There are moments when the ladies' harmonies may get a bit on the pitch-y side, but it only lends to the charm to my ears. I say this often, but it's another example of the traits of these records that I (and I'm assuming you) love, that keeps bringing me back; it's a sound that's just so damn REAL. Genuine music made by real people. Real heroes, as a matter of fact.

from 1970...
