yeah this is the shit.todays music aint got nothing on this.memories of my childhood n teens with this song and when cya!much respect to con funk shun.
Man..... I Love this song and can sing it word for word. Wish I could collaberate with my brothers and make a sample. Brings back memories of Chi-town..... MAYWOODs very OWN.
IM 90'S BABYIts a shame my generation cant appreciate the love,soul,and passion put into these songs and lyrics... and these guys didn't make anything close to what these rappers and pop stars make today. They did it simply for the art love and enjoyment and it showed. keep real music alive!!!!
To all the real men out there when your or (me) are in trouble with your lady / wife /gf whatever ..just cook her a dinner and toss some of con-funk-shun's best love jam's on starting with "STR8 FROM THE HEART " this will take away all the tension
I simply love this song, I've dedicated this special tune to my man who's presently incarcerated. The lyrics say's it all. Music like this is no longer written. What a shame!!! Thank you so much for posting it. Words tell it like I feel for this man of mine. I will wait patiently for him to return home, til then I'll continue playing this awesome song!!!
@Over21at714 // Dont b stupid and sit back and watch life pass u by so when he gets out and get on his feet ...he's gone like sunday dinner ... move on little sister life is bigger than waiting on any person and this is coming from a real man !
I love this song but I never knew who sang it! I had it on a cassette! Yes,I'm old and I dont care! Great song and great music! I wish this type of music would come back!
@mangoan The answer to that ? IS.......MICHEAL COOPER ex-detroit policeman who almost made it bigger in the late 80's and i gurantee u rememberthis old hit (look it up and listen) DINNER FOR TWO... another bad ashtray and beer song
@TheMashelle13 // his mommie had too many men so they listened to the "bedspring boggie" while mommie's head kept the " thump beat " againest the headboard !
i remember dancing to this song with you wanda colon. it will always be our song, I cant wait to dance with you again, no matter how long I wait,,,, A.L.
My husband sings this song to me all the time! We slow dance to it & he holds me tight & gently kisses me. I love this song! It really sets the right mood! Reminds us why we are still in love after years of marriage!
Depending on the era you grew up in you have a strong compassion for your era for me the Late 60's, Early 70's and Early 80's and Early 90's was some of Thee Greatest Soul and R&B Music the world has ever heard.....Very Sad The State of Music Today with the Exceptions of a few artist......Quaility.Music is a terrible thing for the Record companies to waste......peace ya dig....
Nothing but fun times ........from time to time a fight but never too much gun play ......It was about having a good time ...seeing how many #s you could pull ...Nick NAmes like ...Dimples , Peaches , Juni-Bug, Buu -Buu.........I could go on forever .....Good memories
SIMPLY PUT-THIS IS A MASTERPIECE FROM MY DAYS OF OLD.AS A 47 YEAR OLD MAN,I SLOW DANCED TO THIS ONE MANY A FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE SPRING SREET COMMUNITY CENTER.I GUESS IN TODAY'S WORLD OF PUTTING LETTERS FOR WORDS,THAT WOULD BE THE SSCC.
gotta give it up baby! Con Funk Shun hour needs to b played on these mainstream radio stations instead of these around the way celebs that are singing repetitive shit over & over.
4 months ago i posted where u at T-Dogg well i found my friend on face book we laughed about this song he said i used to make him sing it to me when we were kids we laughed and talked everyday for a month straight catching up on our lives. To make a long story short i lost my friend again april 21st at the age of 46 RIP my friend my love was straight from the heart
SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR LOSS,MY WEDDING SONG TOO, AT 0:43,0:54,1:36,1:45, and 2:13 PRETTY MUCH PUT IT IN STONE FOR ME,ITS A BEUTIFUL MELODY,THE INSTRUMENTAL IS NICE TOO,KEEP LOVING IT.
!!!!!!=D I FREAKIN LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!!...NOTHIN ELS IN MY LIFE WILL EVER BE THE SAME IT BE MUST LOVE FOR THERE IS NOTHIN THAT I WONT DO FOR THE LOVE OF YOU!:)
@nikkifin this is a good song, im glad my dad was a dj, he was a dj for graham central station back in 78, i love this kind of music, i also write these kind of jams, and im only 20, but im very sorry to hear about that
my all time favorite jam..... i remember my pops playin this ..and tellin me this is the one...he was right..... what more needs to be said.... if u cant get NO play after this song is played...you never had a chance in the first place...MOVE ON....LMAO
@player2bee Yes, Please come back. This when music made sense. When you wanted toget out the but sat there in the car to finish listening when you got to your destination.Yeah! :)
A time when we smiled on album covers and looked human. Not looking like we do now. Looking like we about to spray up the block with lead as soon as the album photo shoot gets done. MISS THESE DAYS. What has happened to our souls Black People??
"Straight from the Heart" is from the 7 album, not the one that is pictured.
Remember "Straight from the Heart" was not a major hit, it did not chart well. You would have to be a huge Confunkshun or Con Funk Shun fan like us. Actually 7 the album was also not one of Con Funk Shun's best, the album pictured "Candy" was a mega hit album, remember "Chase Me" and that slow jam called "Let me put Love on your Mind"-----------1979, I was a Junior in College at University of Oklahoma--OU
IF THIS SONG DOSEN'T TOUCH YOUR HEART YOU DON'T HAVE ONE SORRY FOR YOU :-(
