In Love With You by The Heptones, released on United Artists in 1978.

In Love with You Review by Jo-Ann Greene

.... the hits just kept coming, and "In a Groove" serenely celebrates the splendor of music in all its glory. These songs were all original compositions, but the trio was equally adept at cover versions, and one of its earliest cuts for Coxsone Dodd was "Only Sixteen," a fabulous take on the Sam Cooke classic. Equally memorable was the Heptones' version of Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds," a number they recut with Niney Holness in 1975. From affectionate love songs to party pieces, impassioned soul to the reverence of the spiritual "Oh Glory," In Love With You showcases the trio in all its moods, with "Talkative" even giving a glimpse at the group's more vindictive side. This album is the early Heptones at their most sublime.

How I love those old 3-part #reggae vocal groups: the Wailers, the Maytals, the Meditations . . . but especially the #Heptones. And their Danny Holloway-produced Night Food LP has always been my go-to album. Is that #BarryLlewellyn or #EarlMorgan singing those high #falsetto harmonies here? Man they hit me deep.
