Hear 1970 The Fuzz Soul EX 45 - I Love You for All Seasons / Same (Instr)
The Fuzz - I Love You for All Seasons / Same (Instrumental) (Calla 174). Good December of 1970 release by the soul vocal trio from Washington, D.C. comprised of Sheila Young, Barbara Gilliam (aka Roberta Gilliam), and Val Williams. They started out in 1970 as The Passionettes, but changed their name when they signed to Calla Records in 1971. Their self-titled debut, which came out that year, was significant in that it was one of the first "concept" albums by a female artist and interspersed monologues (then referred to as "raps") and musical selections, built around a theme comparing love to the four seasons. Further, most of the songs were written by a group member (Shelia Young). The group had a great influence on the style Love Unlimited would later popularize under the tutelage of Barry White. The single "I Love You for All Seasons"" went Top 10 on the US Billboard R&B chart and peaked at #21 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Take a listen. Record is in EX condition.
