A Lot Of LoveOpis:Product DescriptionWith this success, it was Melba s turn to shine when she entered the studio to cut A LOT OF LOVE in 1986. An army of writers & producers were hired for this effort Kashif, Paul Lawrence, Gene McFadden, Vaneese Thomas, Howard King and Rahni P. Harris. Collectively, this team created an album that covered one theme love & romance. In addition, unlike her dance-driven The Other Side Of The Rainbow and the rock-flavored Read My Lips , ballads were the focus on A LOT OF LOVE with only three uptempo songs in the bunch (ten songs total). Musically, R&B with a touch of jazz was the chosen flavor throughout the disc. The bright, uptempo horn-driven There I Go Falling In Love Again kicked off the album. Then, surprisingly, the album s first ballad It s Been So Long is track number two midtempo and steady with Melba s sultry vocals. The slow-groove I m Not Gonna Let You Go shows off Melba s singing power, going from a whisper to a sonic wail then quiet again. Love The One I m With (A Lot Of Love) is a solid dancer and a fine playful duet between Melba & Kashif while You Trip Me Out highlights Melba s solid overdubbed vocal tracks. The next five tunes are all ballads A Little Bit More shows off some tasty guitar work as well as Melba & Freddie Jackson. Falling is a simple message about falling in love. The piano-driven Stay starts off steady then surprises the listener with a fine string arrangement. When We Touch (It s Like Fire) goes from the matchstick sound effect to a smoldering vocal from Melba. Capping off the disc is Don t Go Away with Melba singing as strong as ever. As far as singles were concerned, it was a no-brainer. Melba s duet with Freddie A Little Bit More was the first out of the gate, released the same time Capitol/Hush put out Freddie s Tasty Love both songs hit #1 on the R&B chart one after the other. Then came her tune with Kashif, Love The One I m With , which peaked at #5 R&B. In early 1987 came another one-two punch Falling by Melba and Freddie s Have You Ever Loved Somebody - two more back-to-back chart-toppers on the R&B listings. This was part of Hush Productions marketing genius hit the radio & retail market with multiple singles from their artists, all released in one big batch and watch them rise to the top of the charts (and make that money!) .

In addition, the album became Melba s most successful to date - #7 R&B LP s, #91 Pop LP s.

About the ArtistIn 1975, Moore signed with Buddah Records and released the critically successful R&B album, Peach Melba, which included the minor hit, "I Am His Lady". The following year, in 1976, Moore scored her first significant hit with the Van McCoy-penned "This Is It", which reached the Billboard Hot 100, the top twenty position on the R&B chart and also reached the top ten in the UK, becoming her biggest success in that country. In 1976, she scored her third Grammy nomination with the R&B ballad, "Lean on Me", which had originally been recorded by Moore's idol Aretha Franklin. The song is most notable for Moore's extended long note at the end of the track. In 1983, she re-recorded the song as a tribute to McCoy, who died four years earlier of illness. Throughout the rest of the 1970s, Moore struggled to match the success of This Is It with minor R&B/dance hits, gaining another hit with 1979's "You Stepped Into My Life", which was released on Epic Records and hit the top 20 on the R&B charts and also became one of her biggest pop hits. It wouldn't be until 1982 when Moore started to gain huge success as a singer signing with Capitol Records and reaching the top 5 on the R&B charts with the dance pop/funk single, "Love's Comin' At Ya", which also hit the top 20 in the UK and became a sizable hit in some European countries for its post-disco sound. A string of R&B hits would follow during this decade including 1983's "Keepin' My Lover Satisfied" and "Love Me Right", 1984's "Livin' For Your Love", 1985's "Read My Lips", which later won Moore a fourth GAutor:Melba MooreNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: EnglishData wydania: 2011-01-06Waga: 0.19 gramWysokość: 0.3 cmSzerokość: 4.9 cmDługość: 5.5 cmUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
