[alexisthemanandrock2]

Alyson Williams went on to have some major sucess herself with hits like "Cant Have My Man' and " Just Call My Name".

[chiperta]

Artists nowadays must feel like cunts when they here tracks like this and knowing they could never produce something as raw as this.

[frankstylist]

@chiperta

Cunts is the right word Lol...

[chiperta]

@frankstylist Thanks i thought so too :-)

[cruller23]

Great tune! There is a reedit/remix of this out there by The Revenge/Ooft called "Make U Mine". So good and well done...

[jaymac1310]

top class!!! Just not made like this anymore , I used to Listen to Les Adams on JFM, Les went on to be a top producer and I think he went on to capital radio. The radio was out of this world then, I would listen all night. How things have changed, its all commercial crap and everyone just out for a quick buck. 1980s; WILL NEVER BE BEATEN!!!!

[signman491079]

BADD ASSS TRACK THUMBS UP KASHIF......

Love's Comin' At Ya by Melba Moore reminds me of going to College at DePaul!

[Teardehawkee]

If you can't move to this.

[bankaichigo2k8]

you can kinda hear where will sith got the influence from "miami"

[Suckerman12]

Like several soul music writers prior to Thriller, they went unsung. Yet, at least in my musical world writers like Kashif make the transition from the hard-edged soul of the 70s to the polished sound of the 80's so sweet.

[ndiaye71]

i wich i was in my 20s in 1982

riding my car and playing this song

[ndiaye71]

i wich i was in my 20s in 1982

[2maxxjazz]

Makes me want to learn synth bass !!!! truly what happened to the funk music. It must have been a conspiracy to break it down, it was just toooooo goooood .!!!

[Ingo001Ger]

Its so great.

When I was young, enjoyed songs like this every day.

God (or who ever) bless internet.

[Erionnacirema]

I've always loved Melba Moore. She's a fantastic talent.

I had this album in my Wax collection for many years.

Beyonce, U "Can't Touch This!"

[moidounltd2]

The last time I heard this, my three brothers and I were tearing up the dance floor dancing to this! Wow! What a night that was!

[sundiatah]

tears, tears, just tears ! I was young,dad and Mum were providing everything ! now I'm a grown ass, have to pay those bills !

[2maxxjazz]

Where did synth BASS go ????

[TheClassicTrax]

If you live in NYC, come down to Gallery Bar Downstairs this Friday night (June 11th, 2010 at 11pm). Spinning all the classic dance tracks from Paradise Garage.

[Doriego7]

[callumbrowns]

LEGEND

[eyesley]

One of my mission's last year in terms of music was to find some old school Melba Moore, including this jam. Remember this one from High School. Classic Melba.

[bootsamou]

That famous unmistakable 1982 bass & guitar riffs.... same year as Evelyn King & others.

[Caler]

Auténtico sonido Kashif. Temazo!

[ferthebest79]

I can stand several hours, days, or weeks only listening to this song continoulsy!!!!! Love's comin' at Yaaaaa. 80's music will live forever!!!!!

[RhythmDroid]

That bass is the sound of seduction...I'm turned on...

[bfly58]

[Mizoo]

Ashley Holland

[rockchick80s]

[Aariyan096]

Someone seriously needs to get the lyrics or something.I like the song and beat too much.:]

[todd2mike1988]

[robotwmp]

my mom used to play this song every saturday cooking soup and dumpling with yam wow

[e5w5i5l5]

she was on monique tonite and i felt lie elementary dear watson elementary (school)

[Kiampmani]

Melba had attidue issues -of the healthy kind. She believed in herself.

[Gapandgold]

I got so many baby momma's the shit is ridiculous. I love you melba moore she is fine....very fine baby momma numba 15 probably...

[artistsixteen]

This lady should have been a mega star!!!someone went to sleep at the switch!!!!!!on her management team!!!!!

[jahtalian]

@artistsixteen I'm sure you'll be happy she on the comeback and currently recording an album.

[kudoskid123]

ive just danced me tits off to this track whilst running the bath LOL

[SuzieEyes]

Do you know what, i feel you, how the hell can you remain seated when this comes on, this kinda music makes you freak out, lol

[fritshits77]

@kudoskid123 WHERE is the video ????????..hi hi

[vincee10134]

@kudoskid123 that is too funny.

[nakohead415]

@kudoskid123 pictures please!!! =P

[gemini19662007]

I saw her on Unsung on Sunday speaking about her life story.

[NEXPAR]

This is so Evelyn King "I'm In Love"!

[55Medusa]

Reminds me of this club down South Flaming Sally's...........they had the best sound system!

[Mikeyaz27]

I love this song. I discovered this song about 5 years ago. I absolutely love it. What a jam!

[brulhy67]

aiie aiie aiiiie !

[hypno63]

Love it!

[Getrealpeeps]

This  is a GOOOOOD song!

I LOVE her songs

[galvatron747]

i was 10 when this came out my mom use to listen to this i liked it

[tonywallacess45]

And the beat goes on....

[qaysman]

de la balle !!!

[katkiller36]

could someone post the UK version of "Do you really want my love"?

[TheFlex1968]

Class, class & more class. To me she was like Evelyn King's rival. Both ladies can sing & are brilliant in their own right. Sooo many memories of good times. Flex Groover/Jazz/Fusion Dancer. Ps. I love you Sis for introducing me to these tunes way back then x

[SuperMispi]

Did Kashif do both her and

Evelyn's stuff? They sound the same; in a good way though.

[fritshits77]

you make we wonder too now ,... and you`re defenitely right , VERY much the KASHIF sound( listening to it ..IT`S GOT TO BE!!) ,..whatever happened to him ???..this was in my bartending years real expensive US import ...

[ArchieGe]

@fritshits77 See the more info part on my Kashif posts :)

[fritshits77]

hey arch..... you got me started now !!!!!... ALL half-forgotten names pop up in my mind now ......narada michael walden ,sharon redd,vaugh ,mason & crew, ritchy weeks & co , Atlantis etc etc ... WHO SAID DISCO DIED ???????????????????????????...­THNX for your message !!

[hardcorehouse]

@fritshits77 It was produced by Kashif. His records were all over NYC radio then.

[ArchieGe]

@SuperMispi

all info about Kashif is on the more info part

on one of my Kashif Posts :-)

in short the answer is yes

Kashif Paul Laurence and Morrie Brown setup MightY M productions and produced Evelyn & Melba

[hardcorehouse]

@SuperMispi Yes Kashif produced their records and a whole lot of others in NYC in the early 80s.

[timmy841212]

I'm gonna upload an HQ version of this great track! THX 4 posting, Archie! This was Melba's BIGGEST hit as far as global charts were concerned. ;)

[neyney6987]

une tuerie cette zikk !!!!!!

[musicmaestropleasify]

classic! great stuff!

[nekidbob]

It's to bad she was taken advantage of by everyone she came into contact with. From bankruptcy, failed relationships and shady record companies. I know we're responsible for our own actions, but when they're "Coming At Cha Ya" from all sides it can be overwhelming. But she kept her faith in God and came through the other side unscathed.

[bigblackbadbrother]

@nekidbob :

Agree - all very sad indeed, but you don't need God for anything. Was all this trouble she had created by the 'same God' that supposedly saved her?

[ilovesoulrecords]

@nekidbob lololololol

[MrCovering]

I love to compare this song " Loves Comin At Ya " to Aretha Franklins song "Jump To It ", Also the song " Love Come Down " by Evelyn King. All three of these songs are good jams.

[thejukejoint]

I agree. They must to have come out around the same time. I always get these weird memories when I hear these three songs. I guess it was summer or something like that. It just takes me back to certain place in my emotions. I can't explain it. They make me happy in a weird kind of way. Whatcha' Gonna Do For Me by Chaka gives me that same feeling. LOL

[Tarantulisimo]

That's cuz all these songs were produced by either Kashif or his buddy Luther Vandross...That was THE sound circa 82-83

[MrBlues2jazz]

The thread that weaves throughout all of these songs and production is Kashif , lilio thomas, Paul Laurence, Hush productions,Inc.

[rachoner]

don't know about jump to it but 4 the rest : thanks Kashif !

[sandralawson18]

I've also have two of Melba Moore's latest albums:

Love Comin At Ta, Never say Never Album 1982 and

1983. That was the same year with Evelyn King's

albums: I'm In Love 1981 and Get Loose 1982.

That's amazine.
