This Time Baby

"This Time Baby" is a 1979 disco single by Jackie Moore, a cover of a song by The O'Jays from their 1978 album So Full of Love. The song, written by songwriting team Bell and James, was number one on the U.S. disco chart for one week in August 1979.^[1] It also reached the top 30 on the soul singles chart.^[2] In contrast to the male lead and soulful harmony of the original by The O'Jays, Jackie Moore's cover version sets the female vocal line against a stronger bass from guitar and horns. In 2005, "This Time Baby" was sampled for the dance radio and club hit, "Love on My Mind", by the Freemasons featuring Amanda Wilson. It has attained U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play status in 2009 with Niki Haris. It was also covered by Gloria Estefan as part of Estefan's 1998 track "The 70's Moment Medley" which was released as the B-side to Estefan's single "Don't Let This Moment End".
