Loveshine is the fifth album by funk band Con Funk Shun, released in 1978 on Mercury Records. This album has been certified Gold in the US by the RIAA.[2][3]
Amy Hanson of Allmusic, in a 3/5 star review, commented "With some endearingly mellow grooves, California's Con Funk Shun continued to capitalize on their easy blend of soulful funk and disco across 1978's Loveshine...With a plethora of instrumentation to complete the picture, including guest percussion from Sheila Escovedo, who would later emerge as the Prince protégée Sheila E, Loveshine is a gem of its era. And while purists may best love their early-'70s Soul Children Wattstax-era material, Loveshine kicked off their next incarnation in style, and gave the band the momentum that kept them firmly in the charts for nearly a decade."[1]
