It was a top 50 hit in the UK. Honest I Do Love You by Candi Staton in 1978. The song had a disco style and Staton had smooth style vocals. I love her background singers too. They had awesome and beautiful harmony. The band played the music well.

Honest I Do Love You is written by Dave Crawford. Considering the words to the song, he must have really loved someone. And Candi Staton performed the song so well. She brought it to life. The song was produced by Dave Crawford and arranged by Sylvester Rivers.

The lyrics say: If I could count up the songs in my life that’s used the word.
I’d be humming for days
Melodies some you’ve never heard.
Not like no other time you heard it,
and you know it’s true
Honest I do
You know I do
I do love you
