Taylor came up on the gospel circuit and was cutting records for Sam Cooke's label when he was a kid. His first secular recordings for Stax were about taking the blues to church, but on this one, backed by Booker T. and the MGs, Isaac Hayes, and the Memphis Horns, he breaks out into a soul blues spectacular. The title cut is priceless--"Who's making love/to your old lady/while you was out making love"--but throughout the album, the backing musicians stretch out while Johnnie wails his woes. All in all, a great mix of soul and blues. --Robert Gordon

Old School Soul,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Who's Making Love (Audio CD)
Not much to say except that Johnnie's music is good listening and dancing music. I grew up listening to all the different artists that sang "Soul Music" and I love them all. I bought this particluar CD because I did not have it and I wanted to add it to my collection.

REMEMBER THE SOUL STIRRERS? HOW ABOUT SAM COOKE OR EDDIE FLOYD? WELL, JOHNNIE TAYLOR ALONG WITH SAM & EDDIE WAS A MEMBER. IN 1968 "WHO'S MAKING LOVE SOLD WELL OVER 3 1/2 MILLOIN COPIES. ONLY MARVIN GAYE'S; "I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVIVE" OUTSOLD JOHNNIE'S SINGLE, THEN. THE ALBUM WAS RELEASED WITH SO MANY POTENTIAL SINGLES. "POOR MAKE BELIEVER", "HOLD ON THIS TIME", "I'M NOT THE SAME PERSON(I USE TO BE)AND "TAKE CARE OF YOUR HOMEWORK" ALL JUST JEWELS IN THE CROWN. 1960'S "STAND BY ME, FATHER"; WAS JOHNNIE'S BREAK FROM GOSPEL TO SOLO STATUS. "WHO'S MAKING LOVE"; WAS JOHNNIE'S SURGE TO "STAR STATUS" 1976'S "DISCO LADY"; WAS THE FIRST CERTIFIED PLATINUM SINGLE. NEED I SAY MORE?

I can't believe that's me the first in wrting about this,
By csuarez (Madrid, Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Who's Making Love (Audio CD)
Johnnie Taylor must be remembered as one of the best southern soul singers, along with his Stax-mates (Otis Redding, William Bell, Eddie Floyd) and James Carr or Arthur Alexander. He's got a tender voice, that suits perfectly in bluesy, but also country-gospel soul stuff, and this record contains the danceable title track, that was later covered byblue note's funky-jazz sax machine, Lou Donaldson.
