Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown Records, discovered Marv and had him record his record label's first single, "Come to Me". That song had a fair amount of success and cemented Johnson's reputation for creating happy, upbeat R&B songs. And we now come to this song, "I Love the Way You Love". Isn't that nice. A lot of love goin' round! I do think that's really nice.
Yeah, but it's not exactly a groundbreaking song in any way. He loves the way his woman loves. Or you know, possibly his man, can't keep the options closed off here. But yeah, it's just full of romantic, sweet gestures like holding one's hand, and stickin' by your lover, and making each other feel so fine.
Now, I don't dislike this song in any way, you understand. Retreads of old subject matter can be enjoyable if they're at least listenable. And this song fits that role, being upbeat and happy all the way through. You definitely believe that Marv does love the way his lover loves. Try saying that three times fast. He loves the way his lover loves, he loves the way his lover loves, he loves the way his lover loves. Well, of course, it's easier for me because i'm just typing it. But seriously, try it out.
