LOVE HAS COME AROUND

A1 Love Has Come Around
B1 I Feel Like Loving You Today



Fantastic reissue of two 1981 Elektra promo cuts from the late great Donald Byrd including his anthemic hit ‘Love Has Come Around’. An instantly recognisable classic from its opening guitar and piano riffs, this amazing disco-tinged track has become one of the heavyweights of jazz-funk history and no wonder - having had floors in a spin for nearly quarter of a century with its incessant grooving bass and keys, funking horn stabs topped with wonderful soaring vocals, this cut defies you not to dance! Turn over for the fantastic soulful slow-burning ‘I Feel Like Loving You Today’, sampled by many including Erykah Badu. Penned and produced by the king of the down-tempo sexy groove Isaac Hayes, this has a gorgeous hypnotic dreamy feel lent by the sultry female vocals and Byrd’s superlative swirling horns. Funk doesn’t get better than this - essential!
