Wonderland Burlesque's

The Twelve Days Before Xmas

 Day Ten: 

It May Be Winter Outside by Love Unlimited

Time to climb back into the Wonderland Burlesque time machine and countdown to the big day. This holiday season, the dial is set for the 1970's!

Oh, you are in for a treat, so grab a seat and buckle up. 

The seventies was a decade of change, turbulence and sweetness. Nowhere is this more felt than in the breadth and depth of the music of the time. There were so many different genres being developed, evolving and seeking validation on the radio and the industry music charts, it was a virtual musical cornucopia.  

So, get ready for another song of the season by one of our biggest (and not so big) stars, here, stateside, and across the pond, who made the seventies truly magical. 

Next up...  the silky sounds of  Love Unlimited with It May Be Winter Outside (But In My Heart It's Spring).  

Nobody does it better... than Mr. Barry White.

From Wikipedia:

It May Be Winter Outside (But in My Heart It's Spring) is a song co-written by Barry White and Paul Politi. It first became a minor hit for American singer Felice Taylor in 1967, reaching #42 on the Billboard Hot 100 and # 44 on the R&B chart,

It was recorded later in 1973 by Love Unlimited, a girl group formed by Barry White, featuring his wife, Glodean James; her sister, Linda James; and their cousin Diane Taylor. It appeared on their album Under the Influence of... Love Unlimited. This version made it to #83 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #35 on the Billboard R&B chart in the US. However, it was a much bigger success in the UK, reaching #11 on the UK Singles Chart.

A marvelous slice, featuring Barry White's smooth hand and an-almost Supremes like sensibility, It May Be Winter Outside (But in My Heart It's Spring) perfectly captures the yearning and hope of the season.
