PATRICK HENDERSON – This Is Love, Priority 38169. Produced by Patrick Henderson.

Perhaps a better credited ‘Patrick Henderson & Friends,’ the composer/singer/arranger teams with Andrew Gold, Dennis Sanders and other luminaries on an LP marked by lyrical imagery and harddriven rhythms. Vocalist Sanders leads on four tracks, the most melodic being «I Believe», and Henderson, co-writer or writer on all 10 songs, comes through best vocally on «This Is Love».
