  • Frostrust and Gratzii; I wish I could take some of your pain. Our Mothers are the Essence of our lives, forever. Sometimes they leave us too soon. Always too soon. But they are within us, they are us. My mother rides in my truck with me every morning to my job. SuperMrDwayne--your Mother will be here for a long time...realize how important she is and maybe even let her know that...you radiate something good just by your comment...

  • dis reminds me of those good times i had, but now its just a memory.

  • NIIIIIIIIIIICE SONG

  • Fantastic artist. Wish I could draw my beautiful latino woman but the most beautiful picture would not do her justice.

  • I remember this song so well...we would be slowdraggin off the song..not knowing what it was saying just hearing that beat and the voice

  • yes me too

  • i remember kikn it on tha boulevard listening 2 these oldies bst times an gud memories

  • I lost both of my parents a week apart when I was just 111/2 yes it was the worst days of my life! and at 58 yrs of age I still hurt but this music is so soothing!!! thanks for sharing this!

  • to all the people that lost very special persons.. stay strong bro there all in heaven with GOD listening to oldies:)

  • Dkano9, Eddieeish, 1MalcolmR, everybody who has made comments here. What goodness you have given out...pbrzombie562..We don't really know each other but we all know that our Mothers are the most important.  I am overwhelmed by the heart everybody here has exhibited. I can only grieve for those of you who have lost your Mothers...

  • i lost my mom when i was seventeen due to health problems i miss her more n more everyday the more time passes the harder it seems to get for me its been 14 yrs :(

  • This song has always made me a little sad........ but I love it!

  • To my dear Nicky, I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH RIP!

  • GOD bless and keep all who have lost someone. DKano9 is right, time will heal the immediate pain but the wonderful memories will bring sunshine. GOD be with each and every one of you

  • This is one of the first records my mom gave me when I got my very first record player. She will be thrilled to hear this cut. I am sorry about the sad things you might be thinking about right now. It's going to be alright. God loves you and has a purpose for you, and will turn your sadness to joy. I know He will.

  • @2441883 She gave me this one; "Apple peaches pumpkin pie"; and "I'm your puppet". My dad gave me John Phillip Sousa records. I really liked those records. I wish I still had them. Youtube, I can find these things on youtube. Ok.

  • i am still crying! :'( my friends all hate me and theyre being so mean to me

  • i lost my grandma this song hit it for me also i had to tell my kids to be strong cuz i was going to jail

  • LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG!

    

  • I'am 56 yrs old, and i'm sorry for all the girl'r i've hurt in my life.

  • I am truly blessed and happy to say that I still have my mother to love and cherish. She is 90 and I am closest to her out of all her children. This song reminds me of her every time I hear it!! Peace and Blessings!!!!!!

  • What a touching and heartfelt song. I love the music of the last 50's and all of the '60's, even though i was quite young. I love this song, but find it hard to play often. I lost my mom and dad from illnesses, and then suddenly my youngest brother, all within months of each other a few yrs ago. I had to believe i would see them again, or just go into despair. I miss them terribly, but I know we'll meet again. That's what memories are for, and that's what God promised.

  • smush48, Dkano9 it right on point. I lost my mother at 41 and I have 2 young sisters I'm a decade before so I was strong for them. Its hard at first but with time tears are replaced with joy. Alwayyyyys remember the goodtime you all shared and past it on to your children if you have any yet. Moma will always be there in spirit.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

  • how the fuck can you keep ur eyes dry wen u gotta say good bye to ur mom

  • To you Mom, who is so sick with AZ, I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!

  • they should be playin this on the radio and this is comin out of a 12yr old

  • THIS SONG BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF WHEN I WAS DATING A MAN NAMED SONNY WHO NOW IS MY HUSBAND. I LOVE YOU HONEY

  • i love u mom!umean so much to me weve been thru so much

  • Lol i never even heard of these people... what time where they in?

  • @MrKbailey88 The time when people were not afraid to share how they felt and who they loved!

  • @MrKbailey88 all oldies were around 50's-70's true music

  • rip mommy life's so unfair....!

  • great song, brings back so many memories, oldies truly are eternal 

  • my mom did 13 years and got out when i was 21.

    first time i heard this jam i was 7years old.

    this jam is nice

  • This is one of my all-time favorite ballads. I listen to it often.

  • My mother died two weeks ago...I was there along wth four of my brothers and sisters...My mother was 87...She did pretty good I guess for time..

    I don't even know you Dkano9 but your message is so sweet. I am probably somewhat older than you(though I would never admit this in regular life), the oldest of five other siblings...

  • @platoon108 I'm so sorry for your loss...I'm 56 and I still have my mom so I can't relate to the loss of a parent but I can relate to the loss of loved ones. Be strong & stay united with your brothers...they need you!!!

  • muaaaah awww!!!!

  • I love you MOM!!!!!!!!

  • I would like to speak to those who have commented on losing mothers...my heart goes out to you especially cause you are do young...do be strong...as time goes by the pain lessens and the good memories takes the place of the pain...I say this cause I lost my mom when I was 48 and it wiped me out for a while...stay strong and know time does heal all

  • @Dkano9 Right on! I lost my mother to complications to diabetes when I was 39. Yes, time does heal. But a picture of my momma of her when she was young hangs on my wall, even today. I am 68 now.

  • @Dkano9 How very sweet of you to give this kind of a comment to those grieving. You are very thoughtful....What you've written here is so true...thank you..phyllis x

  • damn i love this oldies

  • always have an dwill love oldies cant stop thinking of love <33

  • the jam

  • .. since my mom past away and her anniversary is a week away im celebrating wit a drink and bumping them oldies but goodies...

    oh and yes im hispanic lets not get it twisted!!!!

  • @pRtTyGrLsWaGg69 keep ur head up and keep jamming them oldies

  • @smush48, ur comment made me cry. sorry

  • @thetisanne Im so sorry for your loss, I am currently 15 and my mother died when I was 10. People like you are so very strong and its people like you that make me say, "Hey, if other people can get through the worst, then so can I."

  • Lost my Mom at 13...it's been over 40 years, it never goes away. She was my rock!

    But I know she is and always has been watching over me, through it all...love you Mama.

  • 5 people didn't actually dry their eyes..

  • I don't know what it's like to lose my Mom. Sorry to everyone who's lost their Mom. I lost my dad at 13 eight was 3 years ago. I know it must be just as bad losing your mother. but god has a purpose for everything he does. Stay strong and keep moving forward. Don't get down on your loss, celebrate the life of that person because you're only apart for now. Keep your head up.

    On the other hand I live this song. I can't fully relate to it but I enjoy hearing such beautiful music :)

  • johnmoreno2011 I know what you mean, I've been there done that many times during the Vietnam war. Music like this helps you to mentally stay connected to home. Peace

  • What happened to music? In the sixties we could look forward to great new songs just about every week, just look at the list on the right.

  • This is a very deep song! and after all of these yrs,it still touches my soul,especially

    being from Philly where Brenda would perform alot,u just think of them as a local group, but they really made it worldwide! RIP Brenda u went too soon!

    songs are so stupid these days...

    this is music right here...

    i luv it <3

  • This is just so good!!!!

  • WHAT CAN ANYONE SAY ABOUT THIS KIND OF SOUND - EVERYTHING YOU HEAR TODAY IS DERIVED FROM GROUPS LIKE THIS ESPECIALLY SLOW JAMS

  • SO MANY MEMORIES !!!

  • Brenda Payton has a better voice and more Talent than Janet Jackson. True. Jackson got a lot of help from her Family. But if you listen to both of them sing, Payton easily had the better singing voice. She didn't have a family with such star appeal already waiting for her. Pay no attention to the charts. That has nothing to do with talent.

  • Remember standing in the mirror w/the hairbrush as a mike singing along on the old am radio (wnjr) Newark, NJ to Brenda's beautiful unforgettable song.

  • I love u MOM!!!!this song reminds me of me n my moms relationship threw out the years!!!!!

  • Had a bad day... N a good friend posted this on my facebook. Really cheered me up :)

  • Once I get into the oldies I can't stop! great memories! so many saved, and sent to FB Enjoy!

    Keep The Faith...It won't be as long as you think!

    God Bless You and your children1

  • I LOVE THIS MUSIC SO BEAUTIFUL WHEN MUSIC MENT SOMETHING... NOT LIKE NOW A DAYS BITCHES AND MONEY DRUGS FUCK THAT

  • I remember seeing them at the UPTown in North Philly. You could see many groups for $2.00 and stay all day. What a time that was!

  • civilwardoc1, that is the difference between a young naive perspective and an older more aware perspective. I am sure that is what your parents thought too. In reality, life is better for so many now due to technology and human/civil rights advances all over the wold. Still, they say you can never go home. At least there is music to bring us back to that place in our memories.

  • THIS ROLA REMINDS ME OF MY HEFITA  RIP

  • can we just enjoy beautiful music without this black and white stuff

  • Perez--I am apologizing if I have been disrespectful with my last post...But I have been listening to this song while I have been trying fabricate some sensible reason for even making any comment to you. Damn, I listen to this song too many times on some nights...

  • Perez.--So good to meet you, young angry man....I don't know you but I think I like your emotion for these older, pertinent songs. Maybe you have been in some uncomfortable places your own self... I have listened to this so sweet/sad song by Brenda a hundred times(no, more than a hundred times while I try to figure out some things that I will never be able to figure out) and it isn't enough yet...because it always takes me back to a place that was not so good ...but Brenda is too good...

  • so many memories of this SONG...

  • Can't stay away from this clean, smooth, sad, happy, beautiful song...Brenda sets off the heavy nostalgia with this excellent production...

  • I hate that most OLDER people think that all younger people dont like to listen or know about these oldies...stop being ignorant..cuz it sure as hell isnt all of us..and stop hating on music from today...and actually start to listen to the music..open your ears to different genres...you might learn something

  • this song reminds me of me and my mom (:

  • whoever did the pictures for this song, can you please tell me where you found the pictures.

  • what happened to music?? they dont make it like they used too!!! i was def born in the wrong era!!!

  • @latinxsenorita

    exactly the crap they have now is not music it's a bunch of crap bring back real music

  • what happened to music?? they dont make it like they used too!!! i was def born in the wrong era!!!

  • I'm so glad you can hear the liyics & understand them ! it give me a very nice sensation! peace 7 calm just enjoying the soft lyric! it makes me remember when I lived in San Diago california! everybody hears this kind of music! oldies but goodies! awsome!

  • this song gives me the chills but i love it!

  • wat do you yungsters know bout ths???

  • OMG, I love this song

    .:ØŁD13§ 4 ĘVĘR:.

  • remember listening to this song with the fellows up in glasgow A.F.B. MONT thinking of the words we said to our ladies back home, daddy got to go now , and couldn.t wait till us guys got back the world in my case N.Y.C., good times.

  • to deathsoap : CHINGA TU MADRE  !!! COMPRENDES ?

  • this shit is boring and im not a caca fan so stfu

  • 20 DISLIKES...WTF.....MUST BE LADY CACA FANS....LOL

  • this song hurts.

  • I am sorry but everyone always talks about going to way back when things were better and there was no hate. Ummm....maybe if your white. But for anyone of color it wasn't ALL good. So lets not be delusional. Our society actually has came along way even if the music hasn't. I love this song.

  • @cakesinthecity

    LOL I read the first comment that has like 31 thumbs up, and I thought to myself, "Wow, that's beautiful..." Then I read your comment! Hahahaha Her comment made it seem like back in the day was a piece of pie. My grandparents struggled like hell!

  • @cakesinthecity

    You took the words right out of my mouth. White people should think about all of the hell they gave my black race back in days.

  • @enorytl Wow...there has NEVER EVER been a more whiny group of people than those few blacks that STILL want to sit on a soft pillow provided by those that in actuality made life better for them. Sure, it was 'some white people from teh past' that have initiated taking some black people from afrika and brought em to the US to work under bad conditions...BUT, it was the same race that also set things right because they knew how to be civil, fair and do right.No thank yous needed...you are welcome

  • @deutsch2k7

    What are you trying to say?  Are you writing in english?

  • @deutsch2k7

    What the fuck are you talking about?

  • @deutsch2k7 "BUT, it was the same race that also set things right "

    Not untill Blacks spearheaded the civil rights movement

    whites before that were nothing but savages and they still are

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable just enjoy the music its wonderful to be able to listen to oldies

  • @BlacknesUnforgivable enjoy the music

  • @cakesinthecity I take it you are Black as the night sky? ;P

  • @cakesinthecity Or maybe a time when things started to change for the better. Living in the happy or the sad past denies the present and clouds the future.
