Artist: The Persuaders | Label: Win or Lose / Atlantic | Format: LP | Genre: R&B / Soul | LP condition: Mint | Jacket condition: Sealed The title single made it to the number one s lot on the R&B charts and had a significant crossover into the pop survey, landing comfortably in the Top 20. On the LP, the singers are supported by Angel Luis Panaiagua, Jr. (guitar), Paul Young (vibraphone), Harry "Al" Giscombe (bass), and Leroy Quick (drums). In addition to the album's well-known title track, there are a few deeper cuts that not only reflect The Persuaders' remarkable harmonies, but are likewise time capsules of their era. "Let's Get Down Together" is a musical come-on wrapped up in a breezy waltz and is notable for such phrases as "Ooh Girl, I like what I see..." and "I'd like to paint your wagon, baby...." By contrast, "Blood Brothers" takes on the topic of inner city turmoil and social upheaval with a bit of Black Pride mixed into the larger "we are all one" mentality that was meant to unite. Other fun and funky selections from the album are the Sly Stone influenced "Thigh Spy," "You Musta Put Something in Your Love," "Thanks for Loving Me," and "Love Gonna Pack Up (And Walk Out)," with the latter becoming the groups second Top Ten R&B single.Track Listing Thin Line Between Love and HateLet's Get Down TogetherBlood BrothersYou Musta Put Something in Your LoveThanks For Loving MeLove Gonna Pack Up (And Walk Out) If This is What You Call Love (I Don't Want No Part of It) Mr. SunshineThigh SpyCan't Go No Further and Do No Better NEW SEALED LP Show more
