Review
Lucky me! My mother was a huge fan of Donna McGhee back in the late 70′s, so this album was passed down to me from her. I didn’t have to pay, search or trade for this record. It’s an amazing disco record, produced and written by two of the best cats in the game (of disco music), Patrick Adams and Greg Carmichael. Their string arrangements are super nice, as well as the keyboards. I have to jump out there and say…Barry White pulled heavy production influence from Patrick Adams (on the low though). Do your homework, make your own call on that one…
Donna does her thing here, setting the tone for a lot of other female vocalists that followed her era (in the disco realm). But in all honesty, the production is what sold me on this record. Pay close attention to the tension build ups, and the releases!
Check out the sound!

Not particularly a cool album cover. Looks pretty low-budget and last minute. Donna’s pretty face saves the day here!

Well, your mother has really good taste in music. It is near impossible to find an original copy.
