"Real Love" is an album by the American R&B duo Ashford & Simpson, released in 1986 via Capitol Records. The album peaked at #74 on the Billboard 200. It was nominated for a Grammy Award, in the "Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal" category. All tracks from the album were written and produced by Ashford & Simpson. Stevie Wonder contributed a harmonica solo to "Nobody Walks in L.A."
~Wikipedia
Although not as successful as their mid-'70s dates, "Real Love" did include some emphatic harmonies and above-average compositions, as well as consistently exciting vocals. What hurt it was the lack of interest in classic R&B arrangements during the late '80s, and the failure of any one single to emerge as a major hit.
