The Originals Had Their First Hit In 1969 With Baby, I'm For Real. Another Hit, The Bells Followed And The Group Settled In As A Permanent Fixture In The Motown Family. But It Would Be Seven More Years For The Originals To Hit The Number One Spot. In The Summer Of 1976 Down To Love Town, A Track From Their Album Communique, Began Receiving Enormous Club Play. The Result Was A Slow Climb To The Number One Spot On Billboard's Disco Charts, Where It Stayed For Three Weeks. Finally Achieving The Success They Deserved, It's No Surprise That When Work Began On Their Next Album In December Of 1976 They Found Themselves Singing The Song Responsible For Their Surge In Popularity. They Took Down To Love Town And Re-recorded It, Giving It A Stronger Disco Flavor Than It Had Originally. The Resulting Version Was Released On The First Motown Commercial 12" Single. Down To Love Town Is An Absolute Disco Classic. Co-produced And Co-written By Michael Sutton Who Would Later Write Chery Lynn's "Shake It Up Tonight" And Part Of Mike And Brenda Sutton On SAM Records.
