The Right Combination is a collaborative album between Curtis Mayfield and singer Linda Clifford, released in 1980. It was recorded at Curtom Studios, with Mayfield as producer and primary songwriter. The album aimed to capitalize on Clifford's success in disco music, combining their voices in a duet project.
The album's sound is heavily influenced by disco and funk, with danceable rhythms and lush arrangements. Notable tracks include the hit 'The Right Combination' and 'Inside Your Love', showcasing the vocal chemistry between Mayfield and Clifford. The production is polished and dancefloor-oriented.
Although the album achieved moderate success on the R&B charts, it did not have a lasting impact on Mayfield's career. Its legacy is remembered as an interesting collaborative experiment within his discography.
