How Can You Say That Ain't Love (Single Version)

Recorded for the Patterson Singers’ 1972 Atlantic album sessions, with Dave Crawford and Brad Shapiro producing. The album was cut at Criteria Studios in Miami, Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, and A&R Studios in New York, with Wade Marcus handling arrangements. The track appeared on the group’s only secular Atlantic album, where their gospel background was recast in a deep-soul setting. It became one of the set’s better-known cuts and has circulated through soul reissue and Northern Soul compilation culture. The song has remained a favored deep-cut in the Patterson Singers’ catalog and is regularly anthologized on soul and Northern Soul compilations. Its continued presence in reissue programming has kept the group’s crossover Atlantic recordings in circulation.
