Love Unlimited: The Female Perspective of Love 🎶💕

Hello my big music lover fans! We are on our second criminally underrated Black group and this one is a personal favorite of mine.

Today we are discussing the legacy of Love Unlimited, a vocal trio curated by the Maestro of Love, Mr. Barry White and consisted of sisters Glodean White and Linda James and their cousin, Diane Taylor. Their lyrics invoke a lot of conversation regarding the female audience about their desires, thoughts, and feelings when it comes to love. Listen as Kevaun talks about their history, their influence in music and fashion and so much more!

Ladies, here are your flowers. 💐

This episode is dedicated to the lovely Ms. Diane “Didi” Taylor. We thank you for your contribution to the group. 🤍
