By Request, from Barbara Acklin's album, 'Love Makes A Woman'. A song written by Barbara, this was remade by Gene Chandler in '79. I dedicate this to Teresa Davis, Chicago Soulstress supreme, from your Pittsburgh buddy who remembers all your super vocals with Gene, Walter, and the Emotions. Check out her work on Gene's version of this. Superb. Nice Chicago Soul from 1968.

From 1968's 'Love Makes A Woman'. This has always been my favorite single from that album. It really typifies Chicago mid-tempo soul, and Barbara could sing it as well as any of the girls. So sad she's gone, a super talent wasn't she?

I really can't begin to describe this funky ditty of a tune. It's a guilty pleasure. It's simply silly fun and I believe the Chi-Lites provide the male backing vocals.
A sound WAY ahead of its time for 1972 with such a kicky "disco" beat! That would come years later and I wish this one stuck around personally to upstage some of the other "anthems" people flock to so readily from that time! Oh well, to the late great Barbara Acklin I say kudos to your innovative and pioneerning talents! :-)
