80's Hit Song Review: "I Love Women" by Jim Hurt (1980)


U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 90

Backstory: This singer and songwriter from the Boston area would provide vocals for demos and co-write songs for other artists. This single off of the Scotti Bros. label was the ONE and ONLY record he EVER released. No follow up singles and no albums. It got slight airplay on some radio stations around the country, and that was it for him! Hurt continued to write songs for other artists until he sadly passed away in 2004 from liver cancer.

The review: While I don't think that this song is a masterpiece, I still really love it and think it should have done MUCH better on the charts. Good Hall & Oates and Boz Scaggs like tune. Not sure why it didn't catch on too well. Nice smooth vocals and smooth melodies as well.

Final rating: 8/10
