Two Tons O' Fun- Taking Away Your Space(1980)

[TheBmore40]

this song takes me back to the quiet storm in dc when melvin lindsey was the dj...i miss those days in the district and i miss him..he could pull'em out!!!

[ladyR1969]

Lovin' It!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[leevum1]

Say what you want, but there is no one that could have sung THIS song the way Martha sang it...NO ONE! This was hers. I take nothing away from other singers, divas, legends etc., but this could have only been done by Martha. Perfection at it's best.
