I had this album wayback, I would play this song and realised the message in the song, I even tried to get the choir in the church i went to, to sing the arrangement I did with it but what did they say?? "Its pop song !!!".... Hmm closed minds to God's music of course...
W H U R The original Quiet Storm with Melvin Lindsey (RIP) and Alvin Jones doing the "Weekend edition of the Quiet Storm" If you're from DC, Nuff said ! I'm still listening to HUR and they still play this song. Shout out to all native Washingtonians, we got the original.
Being and old Caister, Goldmine, Flicks in Dartford, Pink Elephant etc...... A big THANKYOU to the person that posted...............so many memories of some wonderful times and people that just came flooding back.
I hope one day he record again. Rodney your such a genius ! and fasinating pianist. Please! come back to the stage that were you belong. Thanks for posting.
I have the original vinyl titled "Rodney Franklin", in the front cover appears Rodney on a piano with a red shirt, and also i have the vinyl of 2:14 , tss.. beautiful music!
I agree w/ Mssquirrely, this was the greatest and prettiest little song. I loved it. But I makes me sad because I lost a dear friend during this time period. Thank you for helping me remember her... she was precious!.
once again 1981 one of those years when jerry curls came in FULL affect i was 4 so i would know about that dont get me started with 1982 Micheal Jackson enough said...................
@Andreasus4thdj Could you upload the beautiful song "Awakening" from this album? I had it when it first came out, played this all the time, as it was my favorite album, i lost it sadly. I learned the song on piano when i first started playing, and now that im a proficient player id love to relearn it
A Melvin Lindsay classic no doubt. He really turned me on to a lot of tunes that were never played on popular radio. A class act. Here's to you Melvin...R.I.P.
@Zari7000 I hear ya. I love jazz, Rodney Franklin and his music. I play piano, but not like him. He has been an inspiration to me for years. What's sad is our world is about to be destroyed for so many reasons and we truly need the Father GOD's Divine intervention. God bless all my friends in YOUTUBE who love jazz, the Lord Jesus Christ, gospel music. God bless you for posting this beautiful song. I still have some of his vinyl and will listen to them this weekend.
I remember as a teenasger i found a tape on the ground the artist name was RODNEY FRANKLIN I DID NOT EVEN NO ANYTHING ABOUT MUSIC i played in this casette player i had and the song that play was in spanish i loved and played it over and over again it went Mama para mi mamma..DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE NAME IS..IT HAS BEEN OVE TWENTY YEARSSINCE I FOUND THAT TAPE ANEWIN08
