J'ai extrait un morceau de l'interview de Gloria Scott himself, ou elle parle explicitement de cet album et incidemment de ces mésaventures avec Barry :
A second single, ‘(A Case Of) Too Much Lovemakin’’ was cited as a personal favorite and one that found favor on the modern soul scene in Britain. “Isn’t that a good song?” Gloria agreed. “Maybe I can come to England and perform that for you all. I really would like to do that.” Despite instant appeal, ‘Too Much Lovemakin’’ failed to dent the listings and subsequent research has indicated that it may not have got beyond the promo stage in America, although it did appear as a commercial single in some other countries around the world, including Britain and Australia. Things did, however, look up for Gloria when her next US 45 issue, ‘Just As Long As We’re Together (In My Life There Will Never Be Another)’, took her into the r&b top twenty. Logically, this would have led to further releases but... nothing. “That was intended to be the lead single of the second album,” said Gloria, “and, as I told you, all the tracks were cut but never saw the light of day. I’ll never know why. And my hands were tied. I was still under contract with Barry and he kept telling me he was the only one who could do anything with me and then he never did. He didn’t really do anything with his wife [Glodean White of Love Unlimited] either. I went to visit once and she said that my music was her favorite. She loved my first album, she loved that second album. I don’t understand it. She was a good singer too and Love Unlimited have been hot but he just got so, so hot himself that everything else got excluded. I guess he just couldn’t do it all. He wanted to but he just never could. Finally, it was after six years when I got a release.”
Contractually bound to White, Gloria was unable to record elsewhere and basically had to ‘sit out’ the latter part of the seventies, although, as she advised, she was able to keep working... “I did some demos for Motown. Maybe they would have been willing to sign me but I don’t know. I was still under contract to Barry at the time but he had got so busy with his own career. I kept thinking, why won’t you do something with me, especially as ‘Just As Long As We’re Together’ had done so well. I don’t understand why they just let die something that was catching on so well. And I worked with Mary Wilson - I worked with her a lot. I traveled with her a lot but I did not promote my own record because I didn’t even know how popular it had become. Then I got bored! After Mary Wilson, I really got bored with singing background. I had sung background for other artists too and I kept thinking, what about me? And I finally broke out of that mould.” She laughed... “After I got the release from Barry, I lived in Guam for about eight or nine years. I sang over there and I did quite well. Then I came back.”
