In the days before ebay and cheap CD reprints, record hunting was a thing. It took me seven years to find a copy of this single. I finally tracked it down in a small record store in Manhattan.
Three very good claims to fame for Della Reese:
1. Emmy-nominated star of 1990s TV schmaltz-fest “Touched by an Angel”
2. Martha Reeves named her backing group the Vandellas after her
3. She played Mrs Baracus, the mother of Mr T, in the A-team
Most importantly, though, this is a stone-cold guarantee to wake up any dancefloor.
