“In Such A Lovely Way She Loves” The Moments
One of the most consistent R&B aggregations of the ’70s, the Moments enjoyed a string of major hits throughout the decade. The Hackensack, NJ, trio introduced themselves and the Stang label with “Not on the Outside” in 1968, and topped the R&B charts in 1970 with the gold-plated “Love on a Two-Way Street,” produced by Sylvia Robinson (one half of Mickey & Sylvia). Other major soul smashes by the Momentsincluded “If I Didn’t Care” and “All I Have” in 1970,
“Sexy Mama” in 1973, and another number one R&B item, “Look at Me (I’m in Love),” in 1975. Members Harry Ray, Al Goodman, and William Brown changed their billing to Ray, Goodman & Brown in 1978 and topped the soul lists the next year with the slickly harmonized “Special Lady” on Polydor. The renamed trio remained potent soul hitmakers through the ’80s. Want to be taken back in time? Enjoy reliving good memories! Biography-allmusic.com
