Roy Roberts – Got To Have Your Love (Ninandy)
A track I had forgotten about, however was on a playlist in the car from a CD when I used to attend to La Vie in Leicester several years ago. A stellar example of the versatility of Soul music that is the perfect mood enhancer and a great dancing track.
