The Diana Ross track reeks of an aspect of the seventies I'm not particularly fond of.
On the other hand, I love me some accordion and Amelinha pushes all the right buttons.
A real find, truly, thank you very much for sharing, A

The clipety clop -rhythm in A became a bit tiresome after a while.
No such issues with the sumptuous opponent. Exquisite porn-disco.

A has got more going on.

a - I'm a fan of the accordion, but very few other elements in this record are in the vicinity of my boat steering enclosure. It's jolly enough, but largely underwhelming, sorry. Although I did like the accordion. 4 / 10
b - the Supremes improved when she left, but Divana made some fine solo records herself early on, which makes me wonder why this one has been chosen. Surely one minute of a mogadon beat was enough to frighten off discoers. Then when the beat does come in, Divana's distinctive vocal style disappears. It's all a bit generic, really. 3.5 / 10
A squeezebox victory
