Don Ray - The Garden of Love (1978) [Reissue 1994]

Don Ray's only album, The Garden of Love, is an absolute cult record and lost classic, adored by the Germans since its release in 1978, and also by every American and European novo-disco producer. Raymond Don Ray Donnez used to be in Kongas, played on Cerrone's records (notably his first, Love in C Minor), and was an arranger for several other musicians. A mere six tracks long, the record is one of the most notable in the realm of '70s disco music and features an undeniable classic, the lush "Got to Have Loving" (massively played on the radio at the time) and at least two other gems: "Body & Soul" and "Standing in the Rain."
