The 1974 album "One", contained the song #FeelLikeMakingLove, which #RobertaFlack already had as a hit.
#BobJames had been hired to play piano for the song on Roberta Flack's album two weeks before recording a version of his own, using the same band.

Wow!
#YukoMabuchi demonstrates how much fun she has tickling the ivories — or plastics, as the case may be.

#YukoMabuchi’s rendition of #StevieWonder’s #IsntSheLovely shows that music can still bring joy & inspiration to listeners who haven’t been indoctrinated by the cRap that has been trying to destroy real music since the ‘70s.
