According to many, this is the "one" that founded the Garage Sound, a tune Championed by the man Himself Larry Levan Back in the 70's & 80's, at the Paradise Garage & many other venues to have graced his presence. Love is the Message was to become the pre-eminent sound that created the vibe. Check out the tune when it breaks down mid way through, it definately has all the hallmarks. This is a masterpiece that has brought us all so far until theis present day. Long live the Garage Sound, thanks to Mother Father Sister Brother (MFSB).

According to many more sources, this track was first championed by David Mancuso at the Loft and especially by Nicky Siano at the Gallery. Larry Levan, who went to the gallery as a teenager was not yet a dj when the track came out.
