Vinyl? Check #53: Hank Crawford – Baby! This Love I Have

There are so many great names associated with this tune, that I don’t know where to begin. First of all, this is a Minnie Riperton remake produced by the legendary Creed Taylor, with Bernard Purdie on drums, Eric Gale on guitar, Fred Wesley on trombone and Ray Charles former musical director on sax. The original version of this song, sampled by ATCQ, Black star, Common, Pete Rock and others is one of my favorites so this remake took a second for me to get my head around. Released in 1975, I Hear a Symphony was Crawford’s disco album and the track has been considerably sped up to make you hit the dancefloor but features some really great moments. Enjoy!
