Looks Like Love Is Here to Stay

by Tyrone Ashley

Overview

A compilation of material which soul singer Tyrone Ashley recorded under the direction of Northern soul aficionado Ian Levine in the mid-'70s, Looks Like Love Is Here to Stay doesn't offer anything substantially different musically than Levine's other productions of the time for Evelyn Thomas, L.J. Johnson, and Doris Jones. Rather, Ashley's voice is the distinguishing factor. He employs similar delivery techniques (probably by order of Levine); but his actual tone and innate phrasing is more down-home soulful than the others'. The highlights here are the chugging "Feet Start Moving" and the charming disco title track. Otherwise, the tunes are pleasant, but rather trajectory -- and certainly not up to the standards of Ashley's abilities. ~ Justin M. Kantor
