What a gread discovery! This is a really lovely mellow acoustic version of the song that most of us know as "Love's Holiday". If you listen to "Love's Holiday" after this, do the comparison - both versions great in their own way. I just love EWF!!!
Actually the original record 14 songs and number 12 is " WOULD YOU MIND " and " LOVE'S HOLIDAY " is song number 5. But when CD's were introduced in 1983 songs 12-14 were omitted but now with the reformat of CD's the entire "ALL IN ALL" CD tracks are included so your actually wrong and "WOULD YOU MIND " is a 2:21 track on the complete remastered CD. So check it before you speak and criticize
THIS IS REAL MUSIC...KIDS THESE DAYS NEED TO LISTEN TO THEIR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS MUSIC TO REALLY TRULY APPRECIATE WHAT MUSIC REALLY SOUNDS LIKE, KUDOS TO THE BABYBOOMERS! THEY MADE GREAT MUSIC!!!
kids today don't know what they missed...music today is cookie-cutter, no singin, underdressed, hoochiefied, overpaid, overblown, bling-slingin, sucky-sampled, rap-raped meaningless ca ca....
i remember being 17 years old and hearing this come on AM radio going to school...it was sooo good & inspiring, like rain in a parched garden...man that was distant ! like 'ol mista said to celie...kids, you's has mah sympathies....
REAL MUSIC. That's the WAY TO DO IT! Me and my sister are DIGGING this version. Even without the extra music, it STILL SOUNDS GOOD! They should have done a full version like this. I don't think any artist today could do THAT.
i hear an acoustic guitar, dang it this is sooo smooth. obvoiusly not the original. ewf are my top band then parliament funkadelic ohio players etc etc. love this
OMG I'm sitting here in Iraq dreaming of me back in the states with the family.....thanks EWF for many of the great songs that made the family what it is today.
this version is called "would you mind"......this was a demo that maurice made before it evolved into what "love's holiday" would become......go check out the 2001 re-issue of the "all n all" cd.........

@solomonmorris7 Just to make sure,I typed in "Would You Mind" and it did in fact play "Love's Holiday" as it was tilted..on every EWF ALBUM (seeing as how I have only the ALBUM not the CD),of which EWF were notorious for "mislabeling" songs. And I looked at the Amazon,iTunes link to BUY "Would You Mind" and oddly it's called "Love's Holiday". So I'm only using the media PRE "cd" that would stand to be called "original". btw,MTV is actually older than you think.
@tomigunn777 you can buy it on itunes because i bought it yesterday and the remastered CD is out of print after they were dropped from Columbia records by then CEO Tommy Mottola
@solomonmorris7 Now if you had posted THIS,of COURSE this is "Would You Mind". Yes! It's the demo. But the post I responded to was the complete studio RELEASED version of "Love's Holiday" not named "Would You Mind". Sheesh..ok,I'm going back to playing guitar now.
Great just like this....this has to be one of the songs that should be on the soundtrack....The Portrait of a Black Mafia Princess a novel by Ingrid Allen
This is the demo of Love's Holiday. I notice how with old school music like this, there's always a demo, or a rare snippet of the making of that song. However when it comes to today's music we don't hear that anymore. The artists of yesterday took time to make their songs. They put their heart and soul into every song they make. We even so much as love their demos more than the actual finished song. Today, these so called "artists" don't even try. They just throw garbage out and call it a hit.
I heard this song on the radio, and it was played as part of "Love's Holiday". For a long time I didn't know they were separate songs because they were played at one. Sounds good being played as one.
Yeah, this version blew me away when I bought the CD, man, the Elements must have all sorts of nice studio cuts unreleased that should be released. Come on Verdine!! :)
Love this so much! Listenins as I mince garlic, chop onions to prep smoked turkey neck bones with black eye peas, brown rice, cinnamon spiced/butter carrots with peppered string beans. Now I all I need is my hungry man to come enjoy the feast....
After this u have to listen to Love's Holiday <3
