Van McCoy And The Soul City Symphony* – Love Is The Answer

Year/Genre: 1974, Funk/Soul
Matrix #: AV-69002-698
Condition: VG, sounds great, looks good

Released in 1974 on Avco Records, this LP came from Washington, D.C.–born songwriter/producer Van McCoy, who had already written hits for Gladys Knight, Jackie Wilson, and others. Recorded in New York with the Soul City Symphony, the album preceded McCoy’s worldwide success with “The Hustle” the following year. Issued during disco’s rise in East Coast clubs, it reflects McCoy’s transition from behind-the-scenes arranger to front-line artist, embodying the mid-1970s moment when sophisticated studio orchestration merged with dance-floor culture.
