Don Ray - Got To Have Loving
Review by Rick Rice
Don Ray's album Got To Have Loving is a disco classic that will transport listeners back to the dance floors of the late '70s. The album features Ray's signature funky basslines and groovy rhythms, combined with lush orchestration and soulful vocals. The opening track, "Got To Have Loving," sets the tone with its infectious chorus and catchy melody. "Body and Soul" and "Standing in the Rain" are other standout tracks that showcase Ray's songwriting and production skills. The album also features a cover of the classic disco hit "Gotta Keep Dancin'," which Ray infuses with his own style and energy. Got To Have Loving is a must-have for fans of disco and funk music, and a testament to Don Ray's talent and influence in the genre.

I love this song and album. This song drives and l love how he used the Moog synthizer. I you don't feel the rhythm in this song then you must have a stone above your head. RIP Don Ray.
