The motion picture, Graffiti Bridge had some nice cuts that sometimes gets overlooked due to the film itself. Release It is definitely one of my Time favorites but the other cut would be Love Machine.  Now some people my feel indifferent towards this song and you’re entitled to that opinion however I feel differently. Pulsating with a vibrant mix of funk, dance and a catchy chorus, you can easily neglect the erotic lyricism of this tune. What completely lures me in is the “20 questions” banter between Morris Day, Ingrid Chavez, and Jerome Benton. The conversation starts off with a “tongue-in-cheek” innocence but grows in a rapid fire beginning to unravel certain inhibitions. A nice twist of clever and sexy.

Here is The Original 7ven (formerly The Time) with Love Machine.

Another tune from the songwriting hand of Rod Temperton, Burn this Disco Out was the last cut from the Off The Wall album. Due to the incredible success of 4 top ten hits from this album, which had never been achieved before by a solo artist, this particular cut didn’t get as much attention as Rock With You or Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough however, in my opinion, it could have easily replaced Girlfriend as the 5th release from the album. Trumpeting it’s high energy intro and driving bass line, this song was definitely made for the club, better know as the disco. So move the couch and tables and groove with this funky tune!!!
