Mico Wave, Joe Stonestreet & Andy Baylor [2021] - A Love of Your Own (1988) [Kaelco Records]

on 31 Mar 2021 Mico Wave released a cover of a song written by Ned Doheny and Hamish Stuart who both released it in 1976 Stuart with the Average White Band on 'Soul Searching' and as a single and Doheny on 'Hard Candy' and as a  single.

1976 Average White Band

1976 Ned Doheny

Mico Wave is Michael Kerry Lane who recorded some solo material as well as being in the group The Deele after the departure of Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds and Antonio 'L.A.' Reid.  He also worked with members of Parliament/Funkadelic such as George Clinton, Bootsy Collins and Gary Shider.

This track is taken from his 1988 album 'Gonna Be One Of Those Nights' hence the '(1988)' in the title, but I can't find any trace of the album so perhaps it was unreleased? He says that he will be re-releasing nine albums in the next year.

Several others have covered the song including

1976 The Ebonys 'Sing About Life'

1976 Millie Jackson 'Lovingly Yours' and as a flip side to ' I'll Live My Love For You'.

1977 Donnie Elbert 'From The Gitgo'

1977 Melissa Manchester 'Singin' 

1988 Millie Scott 'I Can Make It Good For You' and as a single

1988 Tease 'Remember' group included Chuckii Booker

1992 Leslie Smith 'Les Is More'

1994 Howard Hewett 'In Time'

This is a coincidence as a few days ago I featured a track ('Crystal Clear') from the same abum.

1995 Barrio Boyzz 'How We Roll'

2007 Paul Taylor & Lauren Evans 'Ladies Choice'

There are a couple of other more recent versions by Mai Doi todd in 2018 and Sun Kin 2020 but they are not as good. I've also found a new version reelased in Feb 2021by Eliot Kennedy which I'll post separately.
