5.0 out of 5 stars Dionne in love, March 18, 2002

This review is from: Friends in Love (Audio CD)

First of all the album is titled friends in love and not of love .
It is one of the hardest dionne albums to find.
This japanese import is a real treat at no matter what cost.
This is the 3rd album ms Warwick recorded with arista after her much awaited return in 1980.
It is to my opinion the very best album she has recorded in that period.
2 duets with Johnny Mathis,an incredible earth wind and fire cover,a steevie wonder ballad and a bit of diva torch singing complete this jazzy flavoured album.

I guess 'cause "Breakin' Away" kicked such commercial AND artistic ass in '81,this album got overlooked,which is understandable.As far as I'm concerned,this album is a kind of "best kept secret",like Bill Champlin's "Runaway",a solo album he cut between being front man for Sons Of Champlin and co-lead vocalist/writer/guitarist for Chicago.His backgrounds in "Can't Hide Love" on "Friends In Love" are surely amongst his best.This album,for me,is a kind of summation of genius musicality hitting its stride--studiomonsters at their absolute heighth of groovicality.*****!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars jay Graydon magical production, January 8, 2005

I used to love this album on vinyl. It's a crime that it has never been released except as an import. This was Dionne's best, most musical album ever. It was always a pleasure to hear how Jay Graydon could create a new vehicle for different artists during this era, e.g. Dionne Warwick, Al Jarreau, Manhattan Transfer. Jay's production values were always apparent, along with lots of tasty playing and kickin' horns. "For You," "With a Touch" and "Can't Hide Love" are some of my favorites. Especially "Can't Hide Love" a great Earth Wind and Fire cover.
