AVERAGE WHITE BAND: CUPID'S IN FASHION
Cupid's In Fashion was the Band's second and final album for Arista/RCA and was produced by Dan Hartman. This is Soul Music at it's finest. There is a freshness and vitality to the recordings that in some instances is even better than the slick Atlantic release. The playing is immense, and the vocals shared by the great Hamish Stuart and Alan Gorrie are superb.
