| + | ''MLF'' is an alternate name for the band ''The Family'' led by [[Sonny T.|Sonny Thompson]] in the 1970’s (and which is unrelated to the band produced by [[Prince]] in the 1980’s [[The Family]]). At one point, [[Got To Be Something Here]] was planned to be the B-side of this single, but the band chose to cut [[Stone Lover]] into two parts for both sides. [[Got To Be Something Here]], which was recorded with basically the same musicians, was released under another band name, The Lewis Connection on their [[Album:_The_Lewis_Conection|self-titled album]] around the same time. |
