The album allowed her to cut the rug with British R\u0026amp;B heavyweight \u003cstrong\u003eBarry Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e (his production credits include the first three \u003cstrong\u003eHeatwave\u003c\/strong\u003e albums, think \"Boogie Nights\"). Falling into obscurity after it was released by \u003cem\u003eBBC Records\u003c\/em\u003e (who knew they had a label?), the release has developed a cult following and now fetches a pretty penny on the second-hand market. The cover art alone would make me stop and check it out if I saw it in the stacks, and the music doesn't disappoint in the slightest! Ranging from slow-mo soul-steppin' funk to reggae-fused disco, the tracks on \u003cem\u003ePoint Of View\u003c\/em\u003e are all groovy burners. The big dancefloor mover is \"Love The Way You Love Me\", which sounds almost like a 45 RPM disco rhythm slowed down to a 33 RPM boogie pace. Other notables include the dubby \"Snowbird City,\" the straight disco banger \"Can I Speak To The World Please?\" and the funky-disco \"Who,\" the latter covered by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=diana+ross\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiana Ross\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e on her 1982 album \u003cem\u003eSilk Electric\u003c\/em\u003e.
