Recording

First Choice recorded Let No Man Put Asunder for the 1977 album Delusions at Sigma Sound in Philadelphia. The song was written by Bruce Gray and Bruce Hawes, with production credited across the album to Norman Harris, Ron Kersey, Ronnie Baker, Earl Young and Bruce Hawes. The song was not a major pop single on first release but became one of First Choice's defining club records after its Shep Pettibone and Frankie Knuckles remix circulation. It connected the Philadelphia Salsoul sound to early house and post-disco DJ culture. Let No Man Put Asunder became a foundational source record for house music, sampled and quoted widely by producers and DJs. Its vocal line and remix history kept First Choice central to later club culture well beyond the original Delusions album.
