Betty Everett

Love Rhymes was co-produced by David Axelrod and Johnny Watson, with a couple tracks being handled by Hi’s Willie Mitchell, giving the album an inconsistent sound, however strong in toto. Within the first few seconds of “Sweet Dan,” its horn charts leave no doubt as to the producer/arranger. Not to mention that Rudy Copeland’s Moog bass lines were prevalent throughout Axe’s Fantasy productions.
