[gaggletalgeese]

[OnyJan]

420 is such a good number.....

[trip247365]

420 ppl know whats up! 1 persons lost...

[PrinceCharmingofBoca]

if you could set this song to wake you up everyday tell me how sick would that be...

[ozzinc]

every time i hear this song tears just run down my eyes, its sad that talented singer musician had taken his own life, to most we are genius but to are selfs we sometimes feel incomplete, i do know that feeling ow i do.

[brainnopain]

Since I can't find when this version was released, I am going to guess Lenny White and company did their version after this one based on the recording/sound quality.

This song is great. Lenny & Co. did it justice.

[rainstormwind]

@brainnopain This original version was released in 1979 on Weldon Irvine's 'The Sisters' album. The album originates from the same sessions as Don Blackman's self-titled GRP debut. Blackman contributes the vocals here.

[JFleet326]

One Person has never experienced the beauty of a "MORNING SUNRISE" gotta be crazy to dislike this...

[bukashade]

I think 9th Wonder sampled this too. Definitely didn't mess it up...

[MaxieDaMan]

Dear Fall, you might not know what my album is called... It's Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor. God willin' september, is when I plan to fall, I mean, drop like the temperature.

[Firstworldleader]

@MaxieDaMan Then rock on right through the winter, put something on they minds give em lines to remember.

[AAMusicPro]

jay-z did justice i believe...amazing original track tho by itself

[phillyymar]

JAY Z AND LIL WANYE FUCK THIS BEAT UP

[ModeloDice]

@phillyymar Jay-Z Didnt Fuck This Up Lil Wayne Yeah... But How Can You Say Jay-Z ? -.-

[FutebolMusicaDance]

(chorus) Morning sunriiiize!

[FutebolMusicaDance]

morning sunrise!

[BrooklynNYC777]

i never knew about this guy until now............. thank you

[PCap444]

when was this song made?

[JayFiend85]

dope... tooo dope!

[wostep]

I was just over commenting on Twennynine's version a minute ago. I won't rehash what I said there, you'll have to go and read it. Though it was popular as a lovemaking song, it clearly has a sad undertone, despite it's lyrics. It could just be the music, or the leads vocals. I believe "otherworldly" was the word I used. You don't notice it as a stand alone track. Listen to Lenny White and Twennynine's version. then come back here. You'll see what I mean. Tell me what you think.

[bigru615]

jay z didnt sample this version he sample lenny white version

[ArsenalFFS]

@bigru615 Are you sure about that?

[XavierNarez]

@bigru615 No he didn't... where's your brain?

[taxidriver121]

[THE7HTOWN1NATIV3]

Great song.

This song should be appreciated, especailly if you like rap because this is what inspired the best rap out there. Without this kind of stuff i dont know where the world would be.

[megahouse215]

[mrcashcory]

"Grown Mayn Shitt".....

[WARRIORPARK]

thunder lips dear summer

[konatown5]

this is a song you just smoke a blunt to.

[harshLesson]

this song should remind us how the internet and youtube especially have allowed us to step beyond our boundaries of knowledge and experience/discover the endless possibilities this wonderful world has to offer - such as this song.

[freddydigi]

@harshLesson and at the same time trap us from experiencing the real by being in front of a computer screen..

[xxplicitt004]

@harshLesson

So true.

[Ashween070]

@harshLesson great words man

[harshLesson]

@Ashween070 thank you brother. im happy you feel the same way.

[Ashween070]

@harshLesson ;)

[wstsdblks]

@harshLesson So true man. I have been exposed to so much great music because of Youtube. I gotta say though, I probably would never have started searching if hip-hop artists hadn't sampled these artists and opened the door to a lot this great music to people everywhere.

[mastertung7]

@harshLesson a godsend for sure enjoy while it last

[Talentz92]

@harshLesson soo true

[junklycious25]

@harshLesson Listen, i love how you broke it down! Truth - speaking nothing but the truth!

[harshLesson]

@junklycious25 thank you brother. means a lot.

[pharoahk]

@harshLesson Your right and hopefully the powers that be, let it stay this way.

[murdadeathkill]

@harshLesson couldnt say it ne better

[sheninjie]

[illholla84]

@harshLesson bullshit the internet is a terrible distraction to most humans...

[filks2769]

[livefreelive4ever]

thank you for the post i needed that today and you just made it.

[FlatEarthSocieties]

oh man.. don blackman has such a great voice. always love the collabs of weldon and don.. like the track "I Love You" too... 6stars.

does anyone know, if this is don's composition. he also sang that song as a member of Lenny White's Twennynin.

by the way lenny was drumming for weldon too.. on "time capsule".. where all part of the jamaica (queens) scene in the 70s ?

[fasteez]

I can't believe that's brother don singing .. so smooth.

Btw someone said that he was composer and lyrics writer for that song a little bit below in the comment list. blackman in command as usual lol

[Sal1675]

@FlatEarthSocieties -Hi Im really glad u dig I love you. Damn fine song. Very eerie - got into my skin along time ago like a tattoo - never comes off. Was wondering how come Lenny White did morning sunrise with Twentynine - (is that eh fancy dancer lp?

[jazman49]

Weldon was one of the greats who has past on, but what does the cover of Hutcherson's album, "Head On" (Bobby is holding his hands on his cap) have to do with Weldon and this tune?

[cratedigga80]

of the album from m bleek.

[bmunypimp]

i luv that old school feeling. keep it coming babe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zarenj21]

i thought lauren hill's ex-factor was the sample the first time i heard it.

[brittbritt10]

i luv dis song!! my boyfriend sings it to me all da time....well at least he tries cuz he cant really sing lol

[juswolf22]

can we just get over the samples and remember the song for what it is

[Klodust]

good point but if anyone wants a good sample like this song try "ooh child by The Five stair Steps"

[bigmatt2314]

@juswolf22 and so the hip hop heads and the soul addicts come to a conflict

[juswolf22]

@bigmatt2314 Actually Jay-z dear summer was in my era, i think its cool people can recall what sample is what...but i don't think the song should be known b/c of jay-z, or any other rapper.

[alcohalls]

@juswolf22

You're totally right

[kayin4o8]

@juswolf22 exactly!!!!!!!! when i listen to a good ASS song that has a good sample i ALWAYS enjoy the actual sample better than the looped updated version...real talk

[lindseykinyon]

@juswolf22 why cant we just be happy for all the music, sampled or not? Music is music, enjoy it for what its worth!

[alsimmons121]

@juswolf22 Agreed

[charlyblues]

@juswolf22

word

[busadan01]

DAMN QUE FRESHHHHHHHH AND .. FRESHHH

[misslaidlaw]

Dope track taken from the 1979 album 'Sisters'

[nykballaz]

he killed it lupe go a verison called dear fall.this is why i lvoe hip-hop they do pay respect to the past with these samples!!1

[flamnjon6969]

Just Blaze sampled this on Memphis Bleeks, "534" album, Jay jus layed down the verse on it. Sick fuckin track though. (This and Memphis's shit) Memphis Bleek is kinda garbage i think, real talk.

[nykballaz]

yea he sux jay murderd it thoguh thoguhghg ah such a smooth laid back beat

[riddimzon]

R.I.P

[shelves21]

the horns are so serious on this

[mymojo1000]

What the heck is the name of the album with the picture of Weldon with that yellow beanie on his head?

[anasarca]

the image isn't weldon. it's from bobby hutcherson's - head on cover. Also i think this song only came out on Weldon's "The Sisters" LP which came out in 1998. Does anyone know if it ever appeared earlier?

[kingbizzy2]

BIG TUNE !!!!

[theycallmeletts]

soooo beautifullllll

[YungEKing]

I dont know why they put the Dear Summer song on Memphis Bleek album

[cibida1]

so it could sell more records.

[infectcuriosity]

that shit you heard jay over, was shitty production, but ill production credit, get it? somebody got paid and didn't do shit. Weldon is on that jazz fuck tip that inspired so many. Master "well done" was a very spiritual individual. You have to understand that the music industry works counter productively for people such as Weldon. I personally believe that he didn't know how to choose in life between Music (and the industry that paid for his meals) and Spirituality. So he chose death.

[syncere397]

this is like my 7th time hearing this song and every time i hear it , it's like the 1st time hearing it.

[dothedamnthang2]

If not for Jay's dear summer, many of us would have never heard this

[scarfaceJR13]

nah, i woulda probably take longer to find it cuz im the biggest Jazz head in Hip Hop

[opidig25gange]

@dothedamnthang2 that's why real hiphop is waaaaay better than this shit goin on in the radio... this artform resurrects music.. hiphop 4 life and the artists that paved the way!

[logic33157]

Wow, Jay didnt, (or whoever made the beat) didnt do nothing to the original...all they did was speed it up...im surprised..

[shelves21]

i agree if thought and qualithy wouldve gone into the sample like say a kanye or just blaze wouldve did it over crazy

[logic33157]

yeah it could have had so much work to make a real good beat...

but in a sense im glad he didnt alter it, it leaves its originality, and doesnt take away from the artist who made it

so im neutral on that topic

[CorneliusZelius]

i thought just blaze did produce dear summer....

[shelves21]

youre right man doesnt sound like the type of work just does i guess because nothing much was done just speeding up the beat

[CorneliusZelius]

yeah, although not much was done to it it's still one of my favorite beats... basically cause it was a really good song before lol.

Check out Mos Def - Mista Nigga and then check out a song by Gil Scott-Heron - Legend In His Own Mind. Same situation. A good song looped makes a nice beat.

[cordezzz]

do you know anymore songs such as this one? just the fact that they sample songs like this is sick...i want to hear more but i don't even know where to start.

[MusicLova84]

Lenny White feat twennynine did this song as well (not a sample, an actual version), it sounds great as well.

[RazorReg]

he did!!!

[cordezzz]

they did...they just used this song a sample....sped it up, looped it, and took out the verses.

where do you think most hip-hop beats come from?

sampled funk and soul from back in the day...its pretty fuckin sick if you ask me

[wmclaffe]

if you're looking for samples, search "sampleur sample" on google. it's a french site dedicated to finding samplers (usually hip hop/r&b songs) and the original samples.

[Kimberlene]

Damn, why did he killed himself? I'm just learning about his music and I can't even find his greatest hits or albums!!

[MeMee728]

this is pretty

[bjarnok]

One of the best friend of Talib Kweli... Rest in Peace Mr Irvine.
