This track hails from
Love Somebody Today, the follow-up album to the mighty 1979 album
We Are Family and seems pretty much a forgotten child of the Nile Rogers/Bernard Edwards collaborations. It did get a release, but failed to reach the heights that the more famous sibling songs did (US Pop no.64, R&B no.6), but make no mistake,
Got To Love Somebody Today is no poor relation to the sisters more famous tracks.
As an aside,
Love Somebody Today was one of four albums to be written and produced by Edwards and Rodgers in 1980, the other three being Sheila and B. Devotion's
King of the World which included its hit single
Spacer, Chic's fourth studio album
Real People and Diana Ross' multi-platinum selling
Diana which includes
Upside Down,
I'm Coming Out and
My Old Piano.
Thats some prodigious output for one year.
