Just Ain't No Love (Without You Here)

Here's an atmospheric, laid back 70s soul tune by John Gary Williams, "Ain't No Love (Without You Here)". It's a great shuffler with female backing vocals, lush orchestration, and horns that seem to move about the back of the song. And lets not forget the unassuming flute bits that hover just above the other elements. "Ain't No Love" is pretty mellow throughout, never straying from the mid-tempo rhythm, even when the vocals intensify near the close. The bass and horns move closer to the fore, the vocals become more urgent, but the song stays the course. Exactly the kind of tune that'll get me through a humid August day......
