Let Me Live The Life I Love

Let Me Live The Life I Love was released in 1977 on the Glades label, a subsidiary of Henry Stone’s iconic TK Records based in Miami. During this period, Latimore was a central figure in the label's output, bridging the gap between deep soul, blues, and early disco. This record solidified his reputation as a master of the Southern soul ballad, capturing the distinct, polished yet gritty sound that defined the Miami recording scene in the mid-seventies.

The album reflects a shift toward more refined production values, incorporating sophisticated arrangements that supported Latimore’s emotive, husky vocals. Critics of the era frequently lauded his ability to blend traditional R&B sensibilities with contemporary soul production. As a key entry in the Glades catalog, the album represents a high point for both the label and the artist, remaining a respected reference point for listeners interested in the evolution of 1970s soul music.
