Description
Should you require further evidence of the all-round genius of Curtis Mayfield, look no further than this early ’70s funk gem from Patti Jo. “Make Me Believe In You” was written and produced by the velvety-voiced musician in 1973, one of just a few singles released by Patti Jo but undoubtedly now an all-time classic. That rolling drum intro, the ear-wagging piano, the subtle orchestration and, above all, Patti Jo’s killer vocal all combine for a perfect example of the halcyon days when funk was beginning to transform into disco. Mayfield himself later covered the track for the closer to his Sweet Exorcist LP! This BGP 7″ sees Tom Moulton’s extension of “Make Me Believe In You” combined with his remix of the other Patti Jo burner, “Ain’t No Love Lost”. Any self-respecting DJ needs the A-side though.
Tracklist:
A – Make Me Believe In You (6:31)
B – Ain’t No Love Lost (5:49)
