Every Leroy Hutson album features a sweeping, make-you-feel-good opening tune; this time &Love the Feeling& warms you for a collage of soulful ballads, mid-tempo romps, and steppers. The best of the lot is &I Do, I Do (Want to Make Love to You),& a sensuous booty call reminiscent of Peabo Bryson. Jonesing for a hit, some of the cuts come off cookie-cutter, but Hutson's singing shines throughout. &Blackberry Jam& and &Sofunktiscation& are formulaic but pleasing funkers.
