"Love Is The Message" is a musical composition by MFSB and a favorite of dance/disco DJs since its release; countless remixes, both official and unofficial, exist of the song.
Written by Gamble and Huff and arranged by Bobby Martin in 1973 for its first MFSB-incarnation. The track got its first remix by Tom Moulton. It is called by many the granddaddy of club music. The bassline of the second part of the track was used by Vince Montana Jr. in 'Heavy Vibes' and by Shep Pettibone on "Ooh, I Love it (love break)" (1983) on Salsoul Records. Later still, John Morales and Sergio Munzibai's mix of Hi Voltage's "Love Is the Message" for Began Cekic's One Way records. This is not the last version because Tee Scott had a go at it on the same One Way records.
