When in 1976 mainstream label DJM (the company owned by the Beatles publisher Dick James) released this single they were hopng for a crossover hit. After all, they reasoned, these two songs had all the sound and arrangements you'd hear on quality US soul music. But these tracks from the gospel giant's 'This Is The Day' album didn't catch the ears of BBC deejays and DJM's hopes were not helped by them messing up the picture sleeve inferring that the reverse of the "You Gave To Me" 'A' side was the title track from the album rather than "Polynesian Praise Song (I Love You)" the actual 'B' side. Still...a collector's item of real musical quality which sounded good in 1976 and still sounds good today in 2024.
