Ned Doheny (1978) Think Like a Lover

A nice acoustic disco song heightened by Doheny's sultry r'n'b falsetto and soul backing singers and belchs of wah wah which places it in a certain time. Also featuring powerhouse saxophones it is far from Doheny's start as the first artist signed to David Geffens Asylum records a haven of folksy LA singer songwriters. Doheny like many of his label mates wrote songs for others like Dave Mason Average White Band and even Chaka Khan revealing his grounding was more in jazz and soul over folk and country.  His funky disco tunes always sounded great and melodic particularly with the prominent acoustic guitar which didn't appear often in disco.
