From “The Makeover” full length

“I Want Your Love” Peaked at #1 on the Billboard Dance chart!

Written by Bernard Edwards, Nile Rodgers

Nile Rodgers who I’ve known for many years gave me his blessing and also dropped in his signature guitar licks – this is one of my favorite CHIC songs and it was done with the utmost love, respect and joy.

Wattage!
