Brings back so many memories. My mother and I riding down 95 with those 8tracks playing...love unltd was like sweet honey and Barry was the B. No others will ever compare.
Yes Barry White wrote this song back in '67 and then Love Unlimited re-recorded it. Glodean White said in an interview that she loved the original version and had it in her record collection when she met Barry for the first time, not even realizing that he wrote it. He showed her the B. White on the single and it was kismet.
Yep they used to tour with BW and his Love Unlimited Orchestra during the 70's. They never pretend to reach the starlights top charts but only have fun while touring, as Glodean said. Diane rests in peace now for over 20 years.
This album mentioned in post from 3 years ago was HUGE in my life and the writer is absolutely correct about how this song is introduced and the production of the entire album...this album may not be included in lists of best albums of 20th century in RS or Time but I'm putting it there!!!!
Thanks for posting this. I love this song. On the album this song flows out of "Love's Theme'". It is a magical mix if you've never heard it. Barry White is a GENIUS!
This is so excellent! I just posted a comment about another vid of Luv Un where I felt they were lip-synching. THIS looks, sounds and feels absolutely authentic as a LIVE performance. I love this because it absolutely (to my mind) affirms and confirms that these ladies were the classy, sassy and extremely talented group I remember from back in the day. AND the great template for a female vocal trio (YES, post their better known meta predecessor). Luv Un: talent, beauty, style.
Yes!!!!! I have that flow out on CD! Bought it for "Loves Theme" and never even knew this song existed until I let the CD play out after Loves Theme ended!!! 1970's glorious REAL music!
Great! Unidisc made some excellent CD's. I just might look into some others of theirs if still available.... I remember buying "Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet" by Gonzalez on a Unidisc CD that has the long version - 8:08. They were the only ones that had it.
SEXY SEXY SEXY...i miss when women( sisters in specific) had this natural beauty about themselves.Please don't get me twisted because today's Black women are just as beautiful but i must admit it was something about those women from the 60s-70s that had a certain naturalness about them,yes some did wear wigs but the majority had their own natural hair (no weaves,extensions) and it basically came from washing conditioning oiling(greasing)their scalps and then plaiting(pronounced PLAT if you were from the south)their hair and the clothes were outta this world guess i'm still UNDER THE INFLUENCE,lol
Hey congrats!!! Glad you found it! Wish my CD player did not fail after 24 years.... Have to wait until I get a new one to listen again. Nothing like CD music for playback from analog recordings. MP3's are inferior.
Thanks for the info...I can't find it now... I did find a CD with My Sweet Summer Sweet, Loves Theme and Under the Influence. Its a Unidisc CD too. I'm waiting to find out if it is the same mix.
@brianfromLI Yes, and she STILL had those nails when I met her as a youngster in the early 90's. My understanding is that they separated but never divorced They were living 2gether when I met'em, (but I didn't bother 2ask their personal marital business), &one of their children lived in a house near (behind) them tho'. They had speakers pumpin' all in the ceilings & whatnot. He even gave me his "anthology" collection, but I was enjoying their Spirit too much 2think 2get it signed...
For anyone who is interested, i have just uploaded the 2 instrumental versions of "under the influence of love". You may like them, they are both from Barry White himself.
ORIONSECRET - OK, I found my CD, looks like I bought it back in 1993. Not the late 80's but close. It is titled "Dance Classics" "The Hits" Volume # 9 made by UNIDISC music Inc. in Canada. The Bar Code # is 68381-7139-2 and has track # 9 as "Love's Theme" by Love Unlimited Orchestra, then immediately blends into track # 10 of "Under the Influence of Love" by Love Unlimited Orchestra. It is awesome!
what CD? I have been trying to find this on CD forever. The album "Under the Influence of Love" has never been officially released on CD as far as I can tell

THIS, is just fantastic! The harmonizing! The strings! Fascinating to be able to watch them all do this song live with the orchestra! 💥
Omg they are so beautiful and natural...
omg they're beautiful!!! I love this type of music and I can't believe this was Barry White's wife R.I.P. Barry.
Si ella era su inspiración Glodean el amor eterno del maestro Barry White bonita pareja 💕
this performance was unforgettable ...
Now...... this is class! Love it!
Maravilloso, que grandes voces, excelente canción.
"Bajo la influencia del amor".

I didn't know she was a singer until now.
This girls were so amazing...together they just cooking!...they're dynamite!...love "Love Unlimited" girls...

I have a 1967 single of this by Felice Taylor which introduced me to this awesome song.

i love them and their vioces and charisma!
Great! Unidisc made some excellent CD's. I just might look into some others of theirs if still available.... I remember buying "Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet" by Gonzalez on a Unidisc CD that has the long version - 8:08. They were the only ones that had it.
Jill Scott so favors Glodean in the face. I love these chicks
Ptah H OMG! Yes she do but Glodean is a little darker that’s it.
I was just about to write the same thing! Very much

I will have to check. I bought the CD in the late 80's. It was not an album, but a various artist Disco song CD. I'll let you know next week.....
They didn't ask anything of The Supremes. Excellent voices

COMO ESTÃO ESSA
@Choefoe it was the one with the long nails Goldean!
One of Tom Ford's favorite song at old Gucci shows.
can anyone tell me how can I get mp3 of this song?
@nbrown1378 You are SOOOOO Right. That pretty much sums it up.
NEGRAS LINDAS!!!!!!
what CD? I have been trying to find this on CD forever. The album "Under the Influence of Love" has never been officially released on CD as far as I can tell
your right I happened to find it on Lp at a yard sale, they looked sexy, I had never heard of them didnt know the sang with Barry White
wow! could have done without the subtitles tho, half of them are wrong...
That's not Lynda Lawrence from the Supremes (circa 1972)is it?
Deese my girls!!!
LOVE UNLIMITED=UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LOVE (1975 LIVE)
It’s the long nails back in the day for me
the orchestra was under the direction of Mr Sid Garris and not Mr Sinclair.
La dama del medio fue la esposa del Maestro Barry White
Sorry Barry but I'm starting to have a thing for your wife Glodean that women and her voice attracts me so
Why is it sped up?
Beauty is on the inside. Not the way you look i guess ❤️
I love this song, but it was to fast :-/

compare this to Nicky Manaj, wtf has happened to black female music???
Printed lyrics (words) are not accurate... but does it matter?
