██ The voice and pen that crafted the multi-format standard ██
██ "Sunny" took four years to create as exquisite an album of ██
██ adult contemporary R&B as you'll find. This was recorded a ██
██ full year before Lou Rawls would hit with the Bobby ██
██ Hebb/Sandy Baron composition "A Natural Man," three years ██
██ before Barry White would begin his reign of chart success, ██
██ and two years before the O'Jays would help bring the Gamble ██
██ and Huff sound to the masses. The place in time for Love ██
██ Games is key to understanding the album's importance as a ██
██ pioneering classic of original soul music. Stevie Wonder was ██
██ still singing his pop material before his run as a serious ██
██ artist, a year before Marvin Gaye would tell, not ask us, ██
██ "What's Goin' On." Love Games may have been Bobby Hebb's ██
██ personal outpouring of grief over his divorce, but the ██
██ resulting pearl from this intense period is an album ██
██ masterpiece containing stunning adult contemporary R&B. This ██
██ was prior to similar work by Gamble and Huff ù a full year ██
██ before Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye would follow this path ██
██ creating original music concepts beyond the confines of the ██
██ Top 40 singles that brought them all fame. With the guiding ██
██ hand of producer James Fleming and gorgeous arrangements by ██
██ Fleming, Richard Rome, and Dave Roberts, the man who became ██
██ internationally famous for writing and singing "Sunny" ██
██ conceptualizes a complex album of loss and personal ██
██ survival. "The Love Bird Has Flown" would have fit Ray ██
██ Charles perfectly on his Modern Sounds in Country & Western ██
██ Music, Hebb acknowledging his C&W roots, while "I've Learned ██
██ to Care" is the tenderness Deneice Williams would breath ██
██ into the pop charts 12 years hence. This music is far ██
██ removed from the compact pop created by producer Jerry Ross ██
██ on the Sunny album, the songwriter exploring different areas ██
██ of R&B. He wrote "Grin and Bear It" with Dionne Warwick in ██
██ mind, and her people heard it, but it would be 15 years ██
██ before her cousin Whitney Houston would issue these ██
██ innovative type sounds on her debut. When Marvin Gaye ██
██ released Here My Dear in 1978 the royalties went to his ██
██ ex-wife. One could hear the restraint in Gaye's songwriting ██
██ ù the album failed to yield substantial hits for a hot ██
██ artist. There are no such limitations here as Hebb paints a ██
██ moving picture of being forced to move on. Two parts of ██
██ "S.S. Soul" that conclude side one and open side two show a ██
██ funky side of a man in a funk: "mine's just one of many ██
██ rigs...as I drag my mental anchor." This was recorded down ██
██ the hall from Sly & the Family Stone as they were also ██
██ breaking new ground, recording "Thank You (Falettinme Be ██
██ Mice Elf Agin)," and it is interesting to note Epic's ██
██ commitment to these urban sounds nine years before Michael ██
██ Jackson's Off the Wall album on that label. There is one ██
██ co-write from the late Sandy Baron, and that composition, ██
██ "Flower," is Motown flavored with jazz. Hebb said he wrote ██
██ this after watching a butterfly go to the same flower day ██
██ after day until a bee invaded the space ù the butterfly ██
██ never returned to that same flower. Rawls took the team's "A ██
██ Natural Man" up the charts a year from this point in time, ██
██ but outside of catching the ear of other musicians and loyal ██
██ fans, Love Games was hardly as successful as all the music ██
██ it would inspire. It got no promotion from the label, and ██
██ the album cover would have better suited the Ray Coniff ██
██ Singers. "A Better Love" continues exploring the theme of ██
██ how some people treat love like a sport, but through it all ██
██ there's a refreshingly upbeat attitude, and a textbook of ██
██ material which quietly influenced the direction R&B would ██
██ take through the late '70s and early '80s, music which ██
██ sounds as fresh today as when it was written. ██
