The song was the theme song for the television show Soul Train. Late 1970's resurgence In the transition period between Disco and the up-and-coming Rap movement, the title track, Love Is The Message became a staple at house and block party events in the summers of 1978 and 1979. That track later became the basis for the last Salsoul Orchestra single "Ohh, I Love It (Love Break)", released in 1983.
