A track we came across on a compilation "Luke Una Presents É Soul Cultura" released on 9 Jun by Mr Bongo is Avis "Baby, This Love I Have". We subsequently discovered that it was released as a single over a month
earlier on 3 May and seems to have gone under the radar.
It is a digital reissue of a recording on Dallas label Feline (which is not
dated but is probably 1987 as it was also released on a four track 12" EP then). It's a cover of a Leon Ware, Minnie Riperton, Richard Rudolph
(Minnie's husband) written song that Riperton recorded on "Adventures In
Paradise" in 1975. Avis paired it with another Riperton & Rudolph song, "Simple Things", also from the same album. We featured it in a
Minnie Riperton Profile
celebrating her posthumous 75th birthday in Nov '22.
Unfortunately we didn't feel that there was much else on the compilation
suitable for posting so decided to just post this track but you can check it
out for yourself on
Bandcamp. Most of the artists on the compilation, compiled by Sheffield DJ Luke Una, are pretty obscure.
