Reviews & Discussion
From the golden age of Masters at Work comes what could possibly be their finest production, Love and Happiness. India again provides the vocals (in English and Yoruba!), and let me tell you, that woman has some pipes on her! Add in some drumming by Tito Puente, and you have a classic, hands down. With the otherworldly vocals and dreamy arrangement, it’s no wonder that this track made the impact that it did. As for the mixes, La Rumba and the Dream Sequence both go into downtempo territory while the Unreleased Mix and the Junior Boys Own Super Dub speed things up a bit, but the original 12” Club Mix stands as a singular achievement.
