Jimmy Ross “First True Love Affair” Hoodie

One groove. One voice. One unforgettable love affair.

Released in 1981, “First True Love Affair” is a deep disco-funk cut by Italian-American singer Jimmy Ross. With heartfelt vocals, crisp production, and a steady mid-tempo beat, the song captures that moment when dance music met emotional storytelling. It didn’t chart big in the U.S. initially, but the underground kept it alive — especially with the legendary Larry Levan remix that tore up the floors at Paradise Garage.

The track became a cult classic among disco heads, house DJs, and crate diggers alike — admired for its smooth build, shimmering synths, and soulful delivery. It’s that rare blend of romantic and raw that gives it lasting appeal.

Though initially released on Quality Records, most U.S. DJs knew the track through the U.S. Remix Service pressings — often unofficial but essential for club play. The design of the 12-inch label reflects that underground, white-label energy, and it’s printed on this tee to honor its DJ-driven legacy.

Rare, romantic, and real dance floor gold. Rock “First True Love Affair” and carry the groove that lives on.
