Today's song is from the 1978 Parachute release of 7th Wonder's "Words Don't Say Enough" album.
Allmusic's bio of the group:
"A self-contained soul and funk group out of Alabama, 7th Wonder
notched several dance hits in the mid- to late '70s and early '80s, and
used the Seven Wonders of the World connection with little subtlety,
borrowing the image of the pyramid at Giza as their brand and even
wearing traditional Egyptian costumes on-stage. The band’s first success
came with a cover of Kris Kristofferson's
“For the Good Times,” which was released by Nashville’s Abet Records in
1973. The band next signed with Parachute Records in 1978, hitting the
R&B charts with “Words Don’t Say Enough” and “My Love Ain’t Never
Been This Strong,” both of which were recorded at Muscle Shoals Studio. 7th Wonder
then moved to Chocolate City Records in 1980, scoring with “I Enjoy Ya”
and “The Tilt.” The band’s original configuration released three
albums, 1978’s Words Don’t Say Enough, 1979’s Climbing Higher, and 1980’s Thunder."
