Feel It is the third album by American soul/R&B vocal group Black Ivory, released in June 1975 on Buddah Records. The album was produced by Robert John, Mike Gately, and Black Ivory.
After the success of Black Ivory's first two albums (both released in 1972 on Today/Perception Records), Don't Turn Around and Baby Won't You Change Your Mind, the group took a three-year break from recording. During that time Black Ivory toured, and changed their management and record company. Now signed to Buddah Records, Black Ivory's first album on the new label entitled, Feel It was produced by Black Ivory (Leroy Burgess, Stuart Bascombe and Russell Patterson), Robert John and Mike Gately.[1] It was recorded in New York City at Bell Sound Studios, Opal Sound Studios, and Mediasound Studios and released in June 1975. The album produced four singles. The first and only single to chart was a top 40 R&B Billboard hit entitled "Will We Ever Come Together", which was released in December 1974 and appeared on the Billboardsoul/R&B singles chart for 13 weeks, peaking at No. 40 on April 12, 1975.[2]
AllMusic's Andrew Hamilton wrote that the album "ranks as good or better than the previous two... Heavy on ballads, this offering contains three sides written by group members. The cream, however, is John & Gately's 'Will We Ever Come Together,' a vastly underrated ballad."[3]
