Jean Shy [1976] - What Can I Do I'm So In Love With You [Fantasy #F-766]


Gloriously 'so-soulful 70s' tune by Jean Shy from 1976.

The song was co-written by Shy and her husband Edward Alexander Walker (the bass player with 70s New Jersey funk band Strutt), Harvey Fuqua (instrumental in helping to create Motown and married to Gwen Gordy)  and Vernon Bullock (co-founder of New Birth with Fuqua, and producer of groups such as Younghearts, Bobby Wilson, Livin' Proof and writer of far too many Motown tracks to begin to list).

Jean Shy released around half a dozen good quality soul sides in the 70s before being 'lured' into the dark disco world in the late 70s and 80s with disco versions of 'That Old Black Magic' and Eric Clapton's 'Layla'!  She now performs mainly as a blues artist.
