Isaac Hayes' Sings for Lovers features two duets with long-time songwriting partner David Porter ("Baby I'm-A Want You" and "Ain't That Loving You [For More Reasons Than One]," from Hayes' 1972 Wonderful album) along with "The Look of Love," "Wonderful," [They Long to Be] Close to You," "Someone Made You For Me," "Joy [Part 1]," "Make a Little Love to Me," "I Can Turn Around," "We've Got a Whole Lot of Love" and "Let's Don't Ever Blow Our Thing."
