Loving Cup
Lounge double lp by these hairy people from Michigan. Like most records of this sort there is a fair amount of totally worthless schmaltz, but unlike most, there’s also a few absolutely jaw-dropping tracks. For instance the version of “Feel Like Making Love” is just amazingly sleazy… complete with seductive moaning. I mean just imagine being in this small lounge/club/whatever getting tipsy on exotic drinks with little paper umbrellas with a bunch sweaty polyester-clad old men and seeing this. It almost gives me the willies just thinking about it.
Anyhow, there is also a cool Bob James style jazz funk instrumental that gets pretty spacey. Good version of “Killing Me Softly” too.

Hmmm, nice. It’s full of luve.
very nice and smooth… what year is this from?
I don’t think the lp actually says. My best guess would be mid-70’s.
Crink….I need this.
The ‘Bob James style instrumental’ is actually Lesley Duncan’s ‘Love Song.’ But y’all knew that already I’m sure…….
would love a copy of this if anyone has!

They had a huge following in their day! My brother was the drummer.
