Love Unlimited originally formed as a group to imitate the legendary Motown girl group The Supremes. Barry White produced, wrote and arranged this classic soul track “Walkin’ in the Rain” He also makes a cameo appearance via a telephone.

Here we have a performance of the philly classic backstabbers, if you get chance check out Tailgate by 21st Creation on motown records for a killer piece of heavy disco that deals with the same subject matter.

DJ Spinna, hails from Brooklyn New York City & is a honoury member of the Love Unlimited Hall of fame, his genre-busting dj sets really are something special (check out his rare radio mixes at www.deephousepages.com).

His productions are right up there too, with tight crisp programming across a variety of beats & pieces from his old school origins of hip-hop, house, artist remixes and lately broken beat style.

Here is his remix of Berlin-based songwriter/producer/singer georg levin. More Spinna to follow.

Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love has produced some amazing emotional soul & disco. Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes contributed massively to this output on the tsop label with global hits like “The Love I Lost” & “Don’t Leave Me This Way” through to socially conscious songs such as “Wake Up Everybody” and “Bad Luck”

They departed Philadelphia International for ABC Records, based in New York in 1977. “Reaching for the World” became the group’s final major single…Emotional Stuff.
