The Spinners (1974) He'll Never Love You Like I Do - LOST 70s GEMS

From their towering fourth album, 1974's Mighty Love, He'll Never Love You.. is a champion of the band's strengths, subtle, gospel inflected soul ballads that packed a hardier punch than any soul act around in the genre with mighty choruses and heavy beds of strings to line them.
This smooth soul classic with it's slinky blues licks played by a tremeloey soul guitar and the mellowness of chord progressions broken up by sharp stabs of punchy horns and distinctive sweep of Spinners 'trademark strings

The sultry hook of Bobby Smith claiming how he could never compete with another lover who has impeccable 'Standards of Living' 'Social Rating' and 'Nothing He Can't Buy!'; can only compete in the 'Luuuv' department.. ok sorry that was corny.
