Of course, Angela has a right to her opinion but I just don’t like it when she ACTS prudish. And it’s funny you cited 2024 standards bc in THIS century, R&B LEAVES NOTHING TO THE IMAGINATION. The male singers basically vocalize about annihilating a woman’s anatomy (and they too use women’s moaning). This is the 2nd time I’ve called Angela out for this double standard (remember she grew up with Chris Brown!).

Written, produced and arranged by my friend, the late Bobby Eli. Vinnie Barrett was the co-writer. Major was a member of the Delfonics from 1971 to 1974. He was the lead on "Walk Right Up The Sun." BTW, the moans heard throughout the song were by the late Barbara Ingram, one third of the Sweethearts of Sigma, who sang background on many a Philly Soul hit, along with her partners, Carla Benson and the late Yvette Benton.

This was when FM radio was overtaking AM stations playing music. The FM stations had less restrictions as to lyrics and length of songs. For example, few if any AM stations played the uncensored version of 'Love to Love Me Baby' by Donna Summer. The women moaning was in the record to appeal to men, it also was for shock value as prior to the early-mid 1970s AM radio stations would have never played a song like this with the"love making" sounds. When reviewing songs, the accepted cultural norms of the era in which the song was written, recorded and released must be taken into account.

I didnt know that you didnt know that luther is the cover king. Luther was a great arrainger like donnie hathway, Aretha Franklin but he cover lots of songs line "House is not a home"(Dionne Warwick), creep (Stevie Wonder), If only for one night(temptations), bad boy (having a party) (Sam Cooke), If this world was mine (marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrel), Going out of my head ( little anthony and the imperials. Luther in my book is top five greatest male R&b Singers all time. My favorite is Marvin Gaye who is number one on my list but luther was a great singer he just covered a lot of songs. As far as the moaning that did this a lot in the seventies. Listen to marvin gaye's "you sure love to Ball' off of his "let's Get it" on Album. Marvin gaye's song was dedicated to a seventeen year old who eventually became his second Wife Janis Gaye. He was seventeen years older than her but his first wife was seventeen years older than him. Berry Gordys older sister Anna Gordy. You should read Janis Gaye's book "After the Dance" which was named after a song. MARVIN gaye written about Janis Hunter who became his second wife Janis Gaye! Great book. Or david ritz "Divided Soul" about marvin Gaye! Both on Kindle and both great books! See marvin played multiple instruments and in the seventies he sang all his background vocals on his albums so he's number one to me plus he wrote or co wrote all of his classic songs of the seventies and the greatest album of all time in my opinon "whats going on"
