I've not heard (at least I dont think I have - reasons to follow) the version above as released but there is a Motown master of SM performing this track and like all Sylvia's demos if in fact the one I heard was... it's good enough for release. Notwithstanding the terrible times for releasing prodcut at the minute this is unlikely to ever see the light of day due to Miss Moy having a writer - producer contract  and not a recording contract.

Has anyone heard Sylvia's own version?

'And This Is Love' written by Frederick (Shorty) Long & Sylvia Moy. Released as single on A&M in 1970. As far as I'm aware this magnificent song as never been released on CD! GK&TP's also recorded a very good version.
