Spread Love: Feel Good Grooves & Inspirational Soul Review
Harmless again does the crate-digging legwork for another addition to their long line of respected compilations. Timed to coincide with Valentines Day and taking its name from Al Hudson and the Soul Partners' “Spread Love,” a gloriously upbeat number draped in opulent strings, this album focuses on the disco-enhanced soul which ruled the nightclubs of the late '70s. As ever, the label traipses the road less traveled with popular tracks from the O'Jays, Kool & the Gang, and the good reverend Al Green – who literally spells out “L-O-V-E” – accompanied by plenty of harder-to-find beats, with the Detroit Elements, Raw Soul Express, and a sprawling 11-minute offering from the New York Community Choir all sure to bring a smile to even the least-romantic listener.
