1979 Philadelphia International Records – 2Z8 3675
It’s a Wednesday and everyone can use a little help to power through the rest of the week, so I thought I’d make a very short post here. Featured here is a solid slab of funk-driven disco, a dance floor anthem, and a smash hit for McFadden & Whitehead. It overflows with positivity and joy. This extended mix brings an additional 3 minutes to its already prodigious length. The B side, “I Got The Love”, seems to be the same mix as the album version. This tune owes a lot to Otis Redding, in particular the chord changes of ‘Hard To Handle’ in the chorus. It’s also a great tune, but “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now” is what you came for. A good friend of mine called it a perfect song the other day, and I’m inclined to agree.
