this is my favorite Ritchie Family album:) this was the last incarnation of the Ritchie Family which recorded this outing for RCA and is best known for the quintessential club hit "i'll do my best for you baby" as well as "all night all right" which is even better with that sick synth-bass. "You Got Me Dancin" is also a highlight of the album. Produced by Fred Petrus of Change fame with Giuliano Salerni (who was on a roll at that time with the Prelude studio group "Hi-Gloss" which starred Luther Vandross and did the songs "you'll never know"/"i'm totally yours
"...Mr. Salerni was also involved with Bonnie Boyer around 1979 on the Columbia label best known for the disco single "gotta give in to love" which has one of my favorite percussion breaks on a disco record.

guard that record brother! it's a real gem..yesss!

Andrew, i'm not sure offhand about "real love" being on a twelve but i googled it and it looks there might be one according to this site (scroll down until you get to the Ritchie Family part):
