Johnny Rivers (1977) Slow Dancin' (Swayin' to the Music) - LOST 70s GEMS

A comeback hit from a 60s pop star, this is a cool caressing, soft rocker full of Rivers cooing vocals and exquisite dynamics of funky rock and smooth soul. This type of velvety ballad wasn't a million miles away from the slow laidback love songs Jack Tempchin wrote for the Eagles and Glenn Frey's solo career but this RnB band structure is more engaging than the polished country rock artists he was associated with. River's swooning vocals are the key; Soul city indeed.
