Terry Huff and Special Delivery I Destroyed Your Love Parts 1 & 2

1976 album Terry Huff and Special Delivery The Lonely One

Originally called Act 1, the group Special Delivery was a rotating bunch of Washington D.C.-based singers that had a brief moment in the spotlight in 1976. Led by falsetto singer Terry Huff, the group had its first hit around the Huff-written ballad "I Destroyed Your Love." The six minute song (split up into parts for both sides of the 45) only made it halfway up the Soul charts, but was an absolute gem, with excellent harmonies behind Huff's sweet falsetto voice. It may be one of the greatest sweet soul cuts of the 70s, with the appeal of some of the top Stylistics and Chi-Lites cuts. The song continued to live on after its initial run, and is still a regular on Urban Adult Contemporary radio 30+ years after its introduction.

I am sooo grateful that I am NOT the only one who remembers the SPECIAL DELIVERY. I Destroyed Your Love & the Lonely One. ROCKED MY WORLD. And I had a crush on a singer called Gator in Chicago at the time. He would blow this and I would MELT. Dang I miss the KEYMAN's CLUB on the westside of CHi!

I remember when this song came out. My friend went to Omaha, Nebraska to visit a friend and came back with the album. He said, you gotta hear this song. I was skeptical and my mind was closed to this group that came from nowhere. But from the first note this was a hit in my heart. Song speaks volumes about "Self inflicted lost love". And about a desire to get it back. Wonderful song with great vocal presentation. Great post. Thank You!
