Phyllis Hyman - You Know How to Love Me / Living Inside Your Love [Arista]

US soul diva Phyllis Hyman sees two of her most beloved anthems officially reissued.

You Know How To Love Me is a 7-and-a-half-minute love lesson. It has that rich, full production typical of this golden era: layers of strings intertwine seamlessly with a robust brass section and a flute line that will make even the most serious person smile. All of this accompanied by Phyllis's seductive and powerful voice, backed by a group of backing vocalists that includes, among others, the great Gwen Guthrie.

On the B-side, Living Inside Your Love hits you with a funk-laden soul jam, complete with a chorus to get your hands in the air. Equally perfect for closing a set as for warming up the dance floor.

Two essential tracks for any soul and disco fan!
