I soooo agree with you letstartthedance. I was looking out at the sunrise this morning on my way to work got to work and looked for it on youtube. Then I asked my co workers do they remember this song and the where looking puzzled!!!! How could you not remember a beautiful song such as this! I want to hear it everyday. Thanks for the post.
we used to play this every morning getting ready for work and my cousins getting ready for school. Local group from Detroit....on motown records...i had the 45 too...Mason played it every morning on the radio after the good morning Detroit song
Two thumbs up for the person that posted this video and song to YouTube.com. I first heard this song when I was a Freshmen in College @ NSU. 1979. I sang this song at a talent show and I won. I also did this song in a competition for "Best New Talents", but didn't place, but one of the judge told me that I had a voice like an Angel, but he hadn't heard that song before. Thanks for such a soulful, tearful, and lovely song "Slick. RIP Brani Wells this song will be remade, believe that. SW-O
This song still makes me cry with joy and hope. It is a timeless classic that parents sang to children to wake them up everyday. This song still touches my heart deeply.
thank you for putting this up i couldnt remeber who my mother said sang this but this was her favorite song she would sang this to me and my sisters soo much a play it day after day to where we learned the words and i would try to find this song by singing it to people but knowone knew the song unfortanutely my mother passed away at 42yrs of age on april 22 2009 so i knew i had to find this song just for her memory thanks again im soo thankful now
Thank you for this song! Radio station WTLC FM out of Indianapolis,In would play this song every morning before school. That was a long time ago for me,so I just want to show my gratitude.
I have to ditto the last comment. I remember this song very well and had the record. Thank you for positing this. I had been want to hearing this again for a couple of years but all I could remember was that Brandi Wells sang it. So disappointed I lost her album.
I have always loved this song. I could not remember who sang it. I remembered the woman was from around Philadelphia area. She died. This song is so beautiful and it is a true classic. Thanks.
Thank you so much for posting this song. I've been looking for it forever. My mom used to sing with Brandi when she was known as Peaches and then years later her son was our paperboy. When I her this song it reminds me of my mom. RIP Brandi and my mom. Two great singers.
To whom ever found this song, you've brought tears to my eyes. I used to sing it everyday at the top of my voice when i was little. I had the .45 (Yep i said it)
same here. my dad used to play this record all the time when i was like 3 or 4. then one day i started humming it out of nowhere and then i looked it up. i still love this song.
WOW, Thank you so much for posting this song. It reminds me of my childhood. I think I was in 2nd or 3rd Grade. I've been craving this song for a very long time.
They used to play this on the radio in Detroit, every morning. It's a shame now you have to wake up to Lil Wayne and other foolishness. Truly, the last days.
I heard this song as a child ....never knew the title or artist....have been searching for years......It has inspired me beyond words. Thank you SO much.......I am 45 now....and it has made me feel so much younger just hearing it again after all these years...God Bless You!
This was the Jam BACK IN THE DAY! I had the 45 and it was borrowed from my uncle who past away. Needless to say no one knows where it is! I am glad to have heard this. Thank You for diggin in the crates!
I woke up this morning singing this song and I haven't been able to work properly because Ive been searching the net for this song!!!! Im am smiling !!!!!!
I absolutely "LOVE" this song!!! I used to sing it to my son when he was a baby almost 16years ago. Now I sing it to my 11 month old grandson... I am so glad that I found this song on youtube. No one remembered it and everyone else thought that I was crazy when I couldn't remember the name or artists...Beautiful song!!!!
I have this album but have never played any cut but this song ... it's just so pretty. This woman passed on way too soon. I remember being in Philly about two years ago and seeing her autographed photo in Jim's (the cheesesteak place) and I felt a bit sad. She should have been a star.
Here in Indianapolis, my bus driver would have 105.7 FM WTLC (now 106.7 FM) playing in the morning when I was in 3rd grade ('80-'81) and EVERY single day this song would play a couple of minutes after I was picked up. And I vividly remember by the time the bus hit 38th St. heading east, the sun would just seem to sit in the sky like the song brought it out every morning! I had an appreciation for it as an 8yr old then as I do now at 36.
if you have ever been inlove, this song gives you a very deep insite on not being wasteful of time or love, seige the day. SUNRISE THANK YOU FOR TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They still play it in Philly on WDAS. I love it. Thank you so much for posting it. Her voice is awesome and the lyrics are refreshing. Her rolls at the end of the song is crazy!!!!
I heard this song at a wedding back when i was 6 yrs old and never forgot it, but didnt know but a few words to it, and had no idea who song it.... only wish i could have found it before i got married , it would have been played ....a definite quiet classic
I just entered a search for this song on a whim, never thinking that I would actually find it. It is so beautiful and after many yars of searching for it on cd I found it. It's nice to see that I'm not the only person in love with this song. R.I.P. Brandi Wells.
Thank you soooo much for posting this. Why do I ask people if they remember this song and they look at me like I'm crazy! Ditto all the admiration below I LOVED this song as a kid. It STILL moves me today. Bless your heart for posting. Now...how do I get it as an MP3...do tell.
I do understand your admiration for the song "Sunrise" because I use to get the same reacation that you did from people when I tried to explain how beautiful the song is.

I love this song!!!!! remember playing it all the time>>>> I wore the grooves off the 45 record...Music was great during that era....Bloodstone...Fat Larry band...Cameo... the list goes on and on...thanks for the video and song
This was a hard song to find. Back in the day it would have my heart racing and bring tears to m eyes. And I was only about 9 or so. But it moved me. I remember the name of the group (slick) but alot of people didn't remember them. I have another hard to find song that came out about the same time. I don't remember the name of it but I remember it was a song of a little girl asking her father a lot of questions like daddy why is the sky blue? And another one, I think it's Hey Crystal. thanks
finally, the search is over!...I was almost in tears! This was one of the first songs I sang publically as a kid. It moved me back then and it still moves me today.
God bless you for your sensitivity and thoughtfulness to post it on youtube.
I could just SCREEEEEEEEAM! This is a lost gem. I never hear this song anyway. I can rmember thse two girls winning a contest singing this song. Penny & ?......Funny how my mind can hold every lyric and nuance to this song, but yet cannot call the name of a girl I saw every day in college! LOL
OH MY GOSH!!! I can't believe I have found this song on here! THANK YOU LORD!! This is such a beautiful song. I have been searching forever for it. I had it a long time ago and never knew who sung it. IT's absolutely BREATH TAKING! Thank you for adding it to youtube. GOD BLESS ALL!!!
Wow! My world just gets smaller and smaller. Hope all is well with you my brother. I still love this song. I am going to search through the archives at my mom's house and find this record. I know it is over there somewhere.
I emailed it to my husband and before I knew it he was shouting up the steps, this song almost had me in tears. So I know what a great song it is and what it can do to ones spirit.
There isn't a more beautiful, most gracious, serene & peacful song. I personal know one of thre vocalist and there could not have been a better chosen woman to help with this track. She is as beautiful as the song. She looks the same as she did on the album cover 20 years ago. I love this track. No question that it is one of the best ever "One Hit Wonders" of all time.
Peace & Love to the Artist who recorded this album.
Hey there, could you please tell me what the name of this album was. I got so excited to see it posted here, I lost my mind. I hav searched high and low for this song.
The last time I heard this song it was the fall of 1980 and I was 14 yrs. old, I'm 41 now and I'm so so happy to hear this song once again, thank you letstartthedance.
just beautiful! the lyrics makes me smile & help me keep my faith alive & strong!
