An American lady singer released a single in the mid 1970s. I cannot remember the name of the song or the singer. Can anyone help? She had a powerful, deepish voice, the accompaniment was very strong on cellos and string basses and included a magnificent soprano saxophone middle eight. Of the lyrics, the phrase"give me love" , sung in a descending minor, is germane, and also the line "sometimes with friends I feel so insecure" comes to mind. Help with identifying this song and singer would be greatly appreciated.

I am not in love
But I'm open to persuasion
East or West
Where's the best
For romancing
With a friend
I can smile
But with a lover
I could hold my head back
I could really laugh
Really laugh
Thank you
You took me dancing
'Cross the floor
Cheek to cheek
But with a lover
I could really move
Really move
I could really dance
Really dance
Really dance
Really dance
I could really move
Really move
Really move
Really move
continued below...
Now if I can feel the sun
In my eyes
And the rain on my face
Why can't I
Feel love
I can really love
Really love
Really love
Really love
Really love
Love love love love
Love love love love
Now I got all
The friends that I want
I may need more
But I shall just stick to those
That I have got
With friends I still feel
So insecure
Little darling I believe you could
Help me a lot
Just take my hand
And lead me where you will
No conversation
No wave goodnight
Just make love
With affection
Sing me another love song
But this time
With a little dedication
Sing it, sing it
You know that's what I like
Once more with feeling
Give me love
Give me love
Give me love
Love...
Joan Armatrading

Chorus:
Love and affection, sing me another love song
But this time with a little dedication, sing it, sing it
You know that's what I want, love, ooh-whoo, once more with feeling
With friends I still feel so insecure

Joan Armatrading's "Love and Affection"; and, just for accuracy's sake, she's Welsh not American.
