This week's installment of Soulful Slow Jams across the decades with 'The Soul Emperor' DJ Kool Keith.
I hadn't realised that Z.Z. Hill did "That Ain't The Way You Make Love" co-written by Lamont Dozier's brother Reginald and McKinley Jackson and unsurprisingly produced by Lamont Dozier. It was also recorded, and is a big modern soul tune, by Reggie Garner a year earlier in 1974. It makes you almost wonder if Reggie Garner was a pseudonym for Reggie Dozier but I don't think it is? Hill's version is album only ("Keep On Lovin' You" (1975)) and featured Edna Wright (Sandy Wynns), Shirley Jones (Jones Girls), Dennis Perry (brother of Greg, Jeff et al) and Ty Hunter (The Glass House), amongst others, on backing vocals.
I had a feeling that someone else recorded the song but was confusing it with Jimmy Jones - "Ain't Nothing Wrong Makin' Love The First Night" which is another wonderful tune (don't ask me why I thought of this song it must be linked somewhere in my brain).
