Love And Happiness
First Choice
Armed and Extremely Dangerous, 1973
Good covers can be the saving grace of a DJ gig where people are expecting to hear music they know and music that I feel that I’ve heard/played too often, not that I really tire of Al Green’s original version of “Love and Happiness.”
This is my second First Choice post and while I love their disco material, it’s clear that I favor their chiller soul stuff. It gives them a little more vocal/emotional range to work with and it reveals that whoever is singing lead probably could have succeeded as a solo act doing soul albums.
You can tell that this one is from vinyl…the organ/vocal intro is a bit crackly.
