1979 February 3, Christopher Garten, “Msic to Soothe the Savage Beast”, in Gay Community News, volume 6, number 27, page 9:
"Gay Spirit" is a happy experience. Charlie Murphy's words and music are lively and direct. His singing, Michael Hussin's conga, and the instrumental break featuring Cercie Miller on alto sax and Ray Makeever on flute, are confident and tasteful, as is the unaccompanied part-singing at the end, with Chris Tanner, Marcia Taylor and Eric Gordon.
