1981 was a great year for R&B albums, and it was the year I turned 21! As for those albums, the great ones included the likes of Luther Vandross' debut "Never Too Much", Deniece Williams' "My Melody", The Dazz Band's "Let The Music Play", Gino Soccio's "Closer", Phyllis Hyman's "Can't We Fall In Love Again", Patti LaBelle's "The Spirit's In It", Teddy Pendergrass's "It's Time For Love", Cameo's "Knights Of The Sound Table", and Archie Bell's solo album "I Never Had It So Good". But there was also the first album of LTD without the great vocalist Jeffrey Osborne, and that was "Love Magic" that same year. With touches of Cameo (Burnin' Hot) and Bobby Womack (Love Magic), and a standout smash ballad of "April Love" (sung by a fantastic-sounding Andre Ray!), this album is one to add to a fine 1981 R&B playlist! If you love LTD and the great R&B from "Back in the day" and not the disturbing and filthy (explicit lyrics) lyrics of today that these true professionals never would stoop so low to, add "Love Magic" to your collection. It was a really nice continuance in the post-Jeffrey Osborne days of the wonderful LTD. Dr. Paul A.
