ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK - "I love making love to you" (1976)

Believe it or not, this is a classy Soul stepper co-written and produced by Bobbi Eli (MFSB’s guitarist) !!!! Timeless melody with a Philly-Sound instrumentation taken from his 1976 LP “After the lovin'” released on Epic Records.

Many thanks to my friend/collector Souldennis for introducing this majestic track to me.

“Maxim” magazine has Humperdinck listed as being number 5 on its top ten "Living Sex Legends" list, as he is reputed to have slept with over 3000 women!!!!

YOKO HATANAKA - "More sexy" (Moa sekushi) - 1981



The “Mystery track” is finally here. One of the sexiest Rare Grooves ever recorded in Japan!!! Taken from her ultra-rare 1981 LP “Hakujitsumu” released on Victor Records only in Japan.

Note that this porn-orientated mellow groove was heard for the first time in the 1980 rare Japanese movie “Ai no hakujitsumu” (Love daydream) directed by Koyu Ohara. It’s worthy to note that Yoko Hatanaka was also the leading actress in this film!!!

CLIFF DAWSON - "Don't hide away from love" (1982)

Brilliant 2-Step Soul magic in a style that sounds like Whispers at their best!!! Especially the last minute of the track becomes very erotic thanks to a great vocal interplay between Cliff and Ullanda McCullough. Taken from his only 1982 self-titled LP produced by Lionel Job and released on Boardwalk Records.
