The best Linda Clifford 70'80' disco funk.

[@miraclemiler71]

Linda Clifford's best, one of the finest disco tracks out of the late 1970's

[@tonyktown]

I used to blast this one on the casette in the Federal Express (before they were FedEX) van while doing my pick ups around West L.A. :-)

HER TASTE IS IMPECCABLE- MISS REBA IS THE DEFINITION OF CLASSICAL-COUNTRY-ELEGANCE..HER SONG CHOICES EVEN REFLECT HER TALENT AND CHIC....LADY JUST ROCKS!

[@blackbrownbeige55]

[@RLW1967]

I heard this song on the radio during the summer of 1979.

[@funkleagueboy]

awesome tune from 1979 reminds me of Rafters in Manchesters and the all dayers at the Ritz Whitworth St Manchester with DJs John Grant and Colin Curtis great memories

[@shonuffgroove]

Perfect bass line !!!!

[@drewsmusical]

[@drewsmusical]

[@leerhode1021]

Awesome, heard it for the first time yesterday. I just knew about Runaway Love, and If My Friends Can See Me Now. This cut is the bomb! I can't believe it is 34 years old. It would work today at a dance party or club. WoW!

[@Malleus-Maleficarum]

Sublime musique, un pure chef-d'oeuvre

[@reneehurt387]

Curtis Mayfield's production is on point.

[@mikeatturnpike]

Curtis not involved. It was Gil Askey who produced and arranged. A very talented musician.

[@louisgonzalez8846]

[@HRHPDTV]

This song is DA S**T!!!

[@louisgonzalez8846]

Move over G.Gaynor and D.Sumner, THE DIVA has arrived. Not on the level of L.Holloway, but closer to Marlena Shaw. Very under rated considering she has done some superb work with the talented Gil Askey. The lyrics are incredibly sassy but charming!!! Linda: you are the Bomb!!

[@DJPIAMAW]

great album great voice ........

[@giangiacomomilella4847]

[@arthurworkman4399]

This sounds like "Runaway love" - forgot she had this as a hit. Is she still alive. Every time they do those oldie but goodie shows on PBS they never include her or her music.

[@rob8ken]

mmm baby no question

[@Mavthekid]

she sounds like marleena shaw:)

[@rickjason1786]

Who were the musicians on this record? Anybody. I believe that Curtis Mayfield on guitar.

[@buzzguy72]

Linda's too talented to wage this little war. Basically this is the "rap" from "Runaway Love" on steroids. Maybe they were thinking Millie Jackson here, not sure, anyway, Millie's better at it and takes it straight to Rated X where it belongs. On the bright side, the vocals from Linda and the Jones Girls are great, definitely the rare instance of a 7" being superior to a 12".

[@jimy0803]

You must not have been familiar with Linda's style because this was definitely HER. She co-wrote this along with her producer Gil Askey, who wrote "Runaway Love" for her.

[@sharksport01]

I love Millie J. But i can dance to this.

[@mdw500]

@@jimy0803 Linda wrote all the rap part of "Runaway Love" as well but never got writing credit. She was actually riffing in the recording studio and didn't realize they were recording her - and they decided to keep it in and go with it for the song. It's a crime she didn't get the songwriting credit for it.

[@ceds.9592]

She so fine.

Not at all Mr.Jackson !

[@alanfox4172]

No wonder this is a b side it is so cheesy and awful and the way Linda Clifford describe the way women live their lives she sounds like the man is her pimp.you supposed to be over the hill at 25 in this song as a woman. The other week on the graham Norton show pink made a comeback to the music business and the record company told her no one play a artist over 35 so where is the upper age limits cliff Richard Elton John and status quo get trouble with radio airplay pink was a rare exception. But there is ageism in our society and the woman life in the song sounds like my sister lousy marriage to her husband .

[@rickjason1786]

Alan Fox Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just a record Alan.

[@yoshluv7]

Ok!!!!! and it's damn near forty years ago!!!!!

[@DrNoahBoddy004]

every ounce of effort on this track is priceless. completely, and totally priceless. I'd rather be dead than quadriplegic NOT to be able to dance to this Crown Jewel of a recording.
