Nights Over Egypt - The Jones Girls (Vinyl 12") 1981

[flinz]

God this is better than sex.

[oldskool228]

I play this in my car on the first beautiful spring day when im able to drop my top.

[IHateStaleCrackers]

Did The Jones Girls do a song called "To each his own"?

[willardlockejr]

@IHateStaleCrackers "To Each His Own" was originally done by the group, Faith, Hope and Charity back in 1975.

[TheMARCVISION]

Wow!!! This song brings back a ton of great memories!! One of my moms favorite, r.i.p.

[SuperKhill]

what a great way to start the weekend.

[oldschoolbx1970]

Real music 100%. Stll better than most of the bullshit that they play now a days.

[StaceyandSharon]

written by the great Dexter Wansel

[TheGrownasswoman]

Relaxing with your man on a beach in the summer being sexy is name of this tune......

[cditti121]

this song relaxes my soul n just take me on a journey 2 eygpt! these girls are definatly one of a kind if i ever get n a position to sample this cut on a future project i would definatly do so becuz this has been untamperd wit! Its sheer pefection! mayb i should let it b! but i would definatly b pissed if sme 1 touch it b 4 me n fk it up!!!!!

[JustGod7]

im 32 now but i first heard this on 98.7 kiss fm back 1995 when i was 15 late one night. ever since then this has to be one of my favorite top ten songs of all time. people ask whats real and fake music. i define it as the effort and the meaning put into the song. everything from the instruments used to the ladies and there awesome vocals is perfect, plus the song has a significant meaning to it. i will forever remain a fan of old music because of its rich content.

[Hulk2k6]

Heart 106.2 c.2003, heavy roation on their club classics on Friday Nights!

God, I miss my late teens.. :)

[bassplayer904]

you would have to listen to this song at least15 times to pull the musical essence out

of it, then you'll find its more than a jam, it a dam great composition with layers of goody oosing out of it. but that's the bass players opinion.

[RXmusic4YOU]

...i must say....another time and place....love this track

[WhatEverMan73]

Ok I know Im late, Im 38 and this is not the first time I have heard this song but I must have forgotten it. Now I understand why I love love love the sample of this song by Faith Evans called "I dont need it" that is my cut but the original is def a classic.

[MrLoutee]

Great vinyl sound, cuzz!!

[Brenzvideos]

baaaad!

[CherryBlossomGirl86]

Pure class.

[will24001]

brilliant tune i listen to it a lot whilst working on the twist

[TrojanThug]

I was listening to peace fm (Manchester) and this tune came on and I was instantly hooked!

Where has it been all my life! Glad Ive finally found you ;-)

[DjEdubb64]

Super smooth, head bobbing, classic 80's groove!

[chocolate6453]

this song brings back alot of memories

[MrRyanRhymes]

Heard this for the first time ever today, it's 5 years older than me... what an amazing tune, absolutely love it.

[MsLopez219]

I used to listen to this growing up... WoW! The Jones Girls and Sister Sledge were my ideal of pretty!

[Blackloverbest]

My fiancee favorite song!!

[MrDemilord]

I would pick a audio technica element if i was you next time they perform much better

[jcabm1]

Nothing needs to be touched. Leave this jam just as it is... let the music stand on it's own, we don't need no video, remix, reinterpretation or anything.

[mr20yr]

So damn smooth.

[phil14true]

The five dislikes are just plain A Holes These Ladies  could sing M.O.R.O.N.S. !!!

[thegroove2000]

[Blackloverbest]

Nice Song!

[19lionkingfan]

[brownel3]

My niece, who is only 9, likes listening to this song. Good music is good music.

[phil14true]

These ladies never got the credit that they deserved they had talent.....

[19lionkingfan]

@phil14true they sure didnt

[flistenbee]

Can you believe that this song still has its appeal after so many yeears? That's what really good music is all about, being timeless! Keep 'em coming my fellow good music enthusiast!

[seaborg71]

After 30 years, this song still sounds fresh. I listen to this tune at least 15 times a week. The bassline, musical arrangement (especially the string, flute solo, and the vocals, of course, drive me insane. (BTW, I hate Incognito's version; should have been a crime.)

[willardlockejr]

@seaborg71 THE SOUND OF PHILADELPHIA!!!! FOREVER....

[octaviasmama]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I owned this album long ago, and loaned it out. Never came back. Keep them coming. Peace, Blessings and Joy to you!

[Blinan68]

[stanley2e]

@boobiebrown37 man that's deep or this song makes me wanna visit the motherland!

[boobiebrown37]

Listen to the science behind this song this is when it was only black women on tha planet and she ruled the world and the black man had to wait in the spirit world ,in the orion star system untill she was ready to let him come on this third demensional plane.

[butterflys098]

this is real music don"tmake them like they use to

[dukecoke]

You have to change or adjust your pickup.

[Tiggybel]

[bevandyke]

3 people would rather have Bombs Over Baghdad.

"You can't have my love" & 2. their rca records b-side "curious" both on this tip & really sung with their amazingly blissful harmonies. gotta luv the jones girls..

[DaOmega95]

[jnnx]

@ricardito That's what DJ re-edits are 4...

[981nkhan]

driving music.



[981nkhan]

@981nkhan u



[SupernalOne]

listen to Tchaikovski's Nutcracker ballet, the Arabian Coffee Suite, and see if it doesn't have the same feeling of floating above the desert in a trance - it's an instrumental, but reminiscent still

[Geno224]

My goodness those keys and strings give me chills.......PURE MUSICAL GENIUS. It makes me feel like I'm really flying over Egypt and the Great Pyramids - Your eyes won't believe what your mind can conceive - WOW.

This song is so deep it hurts.

[dgwansel]

@Geno224 Hi Geno224. Your comments touched me deeply. I wish to thank fastflyer2007 for this posting. Once upon a time in my life, I was on my way to Cairo. But alas, things changed and I never got to go. So I asked my writing partner Cynthia Biggs to help me put together the right words to describe this magnificent place on the earth. I originally produced/arranged and performed all keys and synths on this track for my Voyager album. What! Oh well..that's another story.

God Bless.

Dexter Wansel

[Geno224]

@dgwansel That was incredible and the Universe is greatful for such a profound contribution to the world of music.....thank you brother and Happy New Year.

[Fee76Lawlus]

@Geno224 I WOULD USE THE QHEEN OF THE DAMNED CONCEPT (BOOK VERSION) FOR THE VIDEO TREATMENT FOR THIS VIDEO

[tonyman704]

hearing that Bass guitar aah Man!!!

[BBoyPhreshershist]

I had only heard Incognito's cover of this. I've gotta say this is SOULFUL and lovely. Ive been missing out.

[djbuddyleeconspiracy]

For those hip hop heads out there, this was also sampled by Made Men for their track Wise Guys for Life.

[kmjn78]

Woooow the originally record/artist, that later were covered by Incognito - Specially like the Masters At Work NuYorican Soul Mix... :-)

[seaborg71]

I listen to this song all the time. One of the best R/B tunes. Feel that bass line.

[abclouie]

A Magic song. Thanks for uploading this.

[nicsandee123]

This goes out to Katrina, remember this song you little minx. What a track and what a girl!!! No, but seriously I love this record, massive!!!!! Trouble would probably have this on while he picks up his mum to do a bit of sunday shopping I bet she'd say "OOh, I like this one Paul"

[djelmerfudd]

love playing this 12 (but wish it was a lot longer )-thank you :-)

[bagg234]

Quiet storm at its best when times were more simple and love reined supreme!

[Ingeniousvirtues88]

3:06 / 4:48 - 3:14 / 4:48

[Ingeniousvirtues88]

I Dont Even think about grenada and their white=white house, YOU -MATTER-HIGH means you are blacknet.

[Ingeniousvirtues88]

I"M JUST SCORPION No MORE SIGMOIDOSCOPY>

[Ingeniousvirtues88]

Settlers of the Noey African Country of Egypt, dispersal was thorough. Teachings were Celestine and nature was a abound for political offside revelry. Wonderful how official the dog language is to be a product of the ghost coast. Progeny Protectorate so curses be fluent and demands be respected, the spiritual plane has moved now, and forever ONN. MO-MORE-HUMMMM!

[melliemel32]

Can anyone tell me where I can find this in an .mp3 format? I could not find it anywhere on itunes, just another version some of the ladies did years later. I'm looking for the original. I loved this song when I was little!

[ratballbag]

@melliemel32 I can mail it to you?

[MikeStone05]

The new generation needs to know that music must have 100% 'feeling' to the groove....this song is a perfect example.

Don't be half-stepping, 'new generation'. You still got a lot to learn about music. :-)

[helenethepoet]

I love this song. It reminds me of when my mother was alive, and all the family cook outs in the summer time. This was made for all the starz.

[MsRitaD01]

The best ever! I mean perfect harmony at it's best! Muah!!! :)

[mkelz67]

I blasted this whilst in a rooftop pool in a hotel in Luxor , Egypt one night. Everyone was chillin. The locals were rockin and wanted it replayed over and over again!! The girls harmonies on this almost bring a tear to your eye!!! Love the lyrics and the arrangement.

[Geno224]

@mkelz67 OMG that is an INCREDIBLE story. Returning this song to its rightful place in the universe is something more powerful than even its creation......deep my brotha very deep.

Tell me more.

[mkelz67]

@Geno224 It was seriously magical. The haunting lyrics were amazingly humbling in those surroundings. And nights over egypt are really and truly quite breathtaking. Can't wait to go back!!

[emilyassd]

Try Asian women # oneman4u.info #

[cgartarg]

I feel worried about those three people who don't like this. God bless them.

A human from Argentine. Peace.

Remember, the answear is inside of you.

[XTRABIG]

Thank you for taking the time to play the vinyl. anyone catch the chimes at 4:31?

[Hansepans68]

@XTRABIG Yes, and not only at 4:31. Did you catch the Flute @3:14 and from 4:09 'till the end of the song. There are a lot of these little things that make this a brilliantly arranged song!!

[XTRABIG]

@Hansepans68

yeah ur right. I had to listen closely.. I love finding lil gems like that in songs

[XTRABIG]

Thank you for taking the time to play the vinyl.

[madzion50]

I luv to put this song on when no one is around and kick my feet up with an adult beverage.

there is a handful of songs that require some alone reflections and this is one.

[jasonpfinch]

@madzion50: well said.

[ChipM1000]

[ChipM1000]

@madzion50

Classic! The Jones Girls are God's gift to the world. They're sound is unmatched by any humans, only angels.

[gasousman]

[slimdude2011]

winpointmedia

The Emotions were good, BUT, The Jones Girls were much better, in my opinion.

[NJNupe1911]

@slimdude2011

I agree with you!!!

[N4King]

im not old enough to remember this but im grown enough to recognise real music

[jacee013]

@N4King if you like this try Serge Ponsar's "out in the night" and Light of the World's "London Town"

[vaporentertainment]

This song reminds me of those summer nites in hischool around 10'oclock listening to the Quiet Storm on "Majic108FM". In my room with lights out, window open with a nice summer night breeze blowin, talkin on the phone with a girl. MAN I miss those days. (DEEP voice on the radio saying) "Your Listening To The Quiet Stoooorm On Majic 108" Then something nice and mello fades in...MMM...MMM...MMM Yeah, those where the days.

[DarkHalo08]

@vaporentertainment Brotha you nailed it with that post!!! Very will said!!! 

[vaporentertainment]

@DarkHalo08 Thank you!! I was quite sure that I wasn't the only one who had those same experiences. Glad I could take you back down memory lane.

[russawkatherine]

[yungsandifer]

AMENRA,,,

[VitaminD313]

[young1belly]

[young1belly]

The production on this is RIDICULOUS!!! THE BEST MELODY EVER!!!

[Amadodo1]

[siggiddy]

Tracey Lee - Stars In The East...for my hip-hop heads in here

[MIZARC215]

[dcflava74]

@MIZARC215 Its a good thing that they didnt.some songs you just want to remain untouched,this is such a classic gem here.

I was a kid babysitting in my neighborhood, watching the neighborhood kids play baseball across the street listening to this very song over and over again. What lovely memories
