Gwen McCrae - All This Love That I'm Givin

Year Released: 1979 (2015 reissue)
Label: Cat Records – CAT – 3131 (7″)
Genre: Soul‑Funk / Disco / Rare Groove

Description:
In this powerful late‑70s single, Gwen McCrae delivers one of her most compelling vocal performances. “All This Love That I’m Givin’” opens with a deep, rumbling bassline, lush strings, and a subtle four‑on‑the‑floor pulse that nods to disco without losing the soulful edge. McCrae’s vocal rides over the groove with confidence and emotional urgency: a love plea wrapped in funk sophistication. The original B‑side “Maybe I’ll Find Somebody New” offers a quieter, more reflective contrast.

Initially moderate in its commercial impact, the track gained legendary status in rare‑groove and dance‑floor circuits over the decades. It has been reissued multiple times and is widely sampled — for example by Cassius in “Feeling For You”. As such, both original pressings and high‑quality reissues retain strong value among collectors and DJs.
