by Alex HendersonWith the possible exception of the theme song from the 1978 movie Thank God It's Friday, Love and Kisses never enjoyed the sort of pop\u002FTop 40 acceptance that Donna Summer, the Village People, the Silver Convention, and Chic did. Love and Kisses was, for the most part, the disco era's quintessential club act -- most of its orchestral Eurodisco recordings didn't appeal to programmers at American pop\u002FTop 40 stations, but club DJs were strong supporters of its music. Produced by Alec R. Costandinos in London in March 1977, Love and Kisses' self-titled debut LP contains only two songs: the 17-minute Accidental Lover on side one and the 16-minute I've Found Love (Now That I Have Found You) on side two. While Accidental Lover has a funky, sassy quality, I've Found Love is as dreamy and starry-eyed as it is campy and overblown. Disco's detractors, of course, hated the type of campiness that Love and Kisses often favored and saw this LP as a glaring example of disco's bloated excesses. But despite all those excesses, Love and Kisses could be fun -- and this LP, although not a masterpiece, is an enjoyable artifact of its time.
