The Detroit Emeralds - Feel The Need (Westbound 1977)



The title track here will be familiar to many people, gorgeous soulful dancefloor R&B that I'm loving on these warm days. I often find that the b-sides of these '70s soul or funk albums are weaker than the a-side...that's certainly the case here, but side one is pretty great all the way through, though I'm sure you're more than capableof mking up your own mind.

Tracklist:

01 Set It Out
02 Take It or Leave Me
03 Feel The Need
04 Wednesday
05 Love For You
06 Look What's Happened To Our Love
07 Sexy Ways
08 Love Has Come To Me

Get it HERE.

Hi Giorgio,

Unfortunately the album doesn't come with a lyric sheet but I did find these on the internet:

See how I'm walkin', see how I'm talkin'
Notice ev'rything in me
Feel the need, oh feel, feel the need in me
I need you by my side to be my guide
Can't you see my arms are open wide, mh
Feel the need, oh feel, feel the need in me

I need your love - love - love
Ev'ry day I need it, ev'ry day I want it
Without your sweet, sweet love I'd rather die
I need your love - love - love
I need it constantly, your love takes care of me
Your love is better to me than apple pie - ooh

Just put your hand in mine, love me all the time
The proof you will plainly see, mh
Feel the need, oh feel, feel the need in me
I need you on the case to keep my heart in place
You make me what I need to be, ooh
Feel the need, oh feel, feel the need in me

Oh your love is tough, now can't get enough
Girl, your love is so important to me
Feel the need, hey feel it, feel the need in me - hi hi hi
I need you by my side to be my guide
Can't you see my arms are open wide
Feel the need, oh feel it, feel the need in me

I need your love - love - love
Ev'ry day I need it, ev'ry day I want it
Without your sweet, sweet love I'd rather die
I need your love - love - love
I need it constantly, your love takes care of me
Your love is better to me than cherry pie - ooh

See how I'm walkin', see how I'm talkin'
Notice ev'rything in me
Feel the need, oh feel it, feel the need in me - a ooh
Just put your hand in mine, love me all the time
The proof you will plainly see
Feel the need, hey feel it, feel the need in me

They look to be about right :)
