[1GODMATTERS]

THIS SONG IS DESTINE TO HAVE U IN LOVE CAN I GET AN AMEN

[stud2me4u]

>> TO THOSE THAT VOTED THUMBS DOWN > WHY ARE YOU HERE ? THIS SONG IS A MASTERPIECE > PRICELESS <<

[nickshel]

@stud2me4u You could say that about any video... Personally I like the voting system so that if I end up on heavy heavy heavy metal I can voice my disapproval.

[Mindadjust]

New Birth Laid it down in a righteous way. Timing, strokes, vocal, tempo was on point. New Birth got down with this on.

[mariah1257]

This has always been one of my favorite songs. There have been remakes but no one does this song like New Birth!

[puceopener]

i was a kid in the 70's when this song was the hit and it still resonates

[blewis9505]

The great, the one and only Leslie "Les" Wilson on the lead. He's still puttin' it down on the real. Check him out here on YouTube singing with none other than the inimitable Ali Ollie Woodson at Ollie's birthday bash. You'll be glad you did.

[bigmackfromsac]

This song was dedicated to me by a lover years ago. We lost contact, reunited and are now in a committed relationship. This is my song and I'm glad he "picked" me from the garden!

[khrzyzai]

[flsh615]

There's nothing like back in the day music The songs were so beautiful. New birth was all that along with so many other groups...

[bry3921]

"be careful how you touch her, for she'll awaken, and peace is the only freedom that she's known. when you walk into her eyes you won't believe, the way she's always paid for a debt that's not her own...." Uh, they don't write songs like this anymore. Beauty

[b17bookie]

DAMN! This is my jam, I swear he talking about me. I miss music like this! old school is where it's at.

[fretdoctor7]

This song is just B-A-D, BAD! New Birth macks it to the max. Leslie Wilson sings with so much soul and passion. He takes this song and owns it, especially the ad libs towards the end...just sweet! Hey 412steelerfan, the song "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" was performed by Earth, Wind, and Fire, and it is posted on You Tube. Check out love112489 to hear it.

[412steelerfan]

[proxzy85]

[myco211]

you are a angel for putting this song on you tube thankyou bless you

[thewheelerdealer]

I Just heard the Skylark's version. Sorry, New Birth slowed it down just right and added a lot more soul. If you don't agree, I feel sorry for your woman....Think about it....

[lizfrench4]

newbirth had the best concerts back in the 70's along with parlament funkadelick.

[abyssoner]

better than the orginal, put the soul part in you know. the lyriqs are so pimpful i love this sit here

[nagoyaqueen]

I was a litle girl when this song came out but man this is music from the soul and heart. I love the old chool music fom the 70's.

[dreadtodred]

excellent song brings me back to 70,s newyork peace!

[RICJAZGUITAR54]

the o'jays had a nice sound on this track as well....the skylarks no soul.....new birth and the ojays smoked this track !

[nakohead415]

I agree 100%!

[thatsalie]

Not bad, but the Skylark original is so much better.

[mrstep2me]

New Birth is the master of remakes. They did excellent remakes of, Dream Merchant (Jerry Butler), I Can Understand It (Bobby Womack), and Until It's Time For You To Go (Buffie St. Marie). If you've heard Skylark's original version of this, the New Birth version sounds almost like a live version.

[gentleall]

You are absolutely right about them being the master of remakes. If "I Can Understand It" don't make you move, go lay down somewhere cause you are not well! Is "I Can Understand It" posted on YouTube?

[jadesystem]

Excellent rendition of Skylark/David Foster's

Wildflower. I never heard this version, yet it is excellent and finely executed. Great vocalist and arrangement. It has an oldies -

R&B sound and feel to it. I would rate it as good as the original with the fire and soul in it. Well crafted and unigue in its own right. Different sound and rendition with excellent results.

Thank you Valrogue for bringing this video

to us.

[Ladylace97]

funny that you say that b/c this is the only version i've ever heard I thought that it was the original. i love new birth

[jadesystem]

Hi,

You must hear the original Skylark version, as it is simply incredible. It brings back

so much great memories in the early 70s that just hearing both versions are a treat to the heart and soul. I love this version, as it is finely crafted with the utmost professionalism in arrangement and execution. I've read the history from the writer of how this song was originally written, and to see how it turned-out is simply incredible. It also saved a woman who about to commit suicide.

[Ladylace97]

i don't have any memories of the 70's i was born the following decade, but thanks i'll check it out

[nola2laca]

the o'jays SMOKED their version too !! The O'JAY version was done LIVE..the album was :THE O'JAYS LIVE IN LONDON

[valrogue]

[ticklemebad]

[0MM3]

whyignorants: what david foster? WHERE WAS HE FROM

[mystkpizza]

there is only (1) David Foster hahaha

[mystkpizza]

Wild Flower is the song that launched David Foster's career, he's a great songwriter & producer

[2muchclazz]

really really luv dis song very much

[newsoul]

I rememeber both versions in the 70's when they came out being a little tot at the time. And both versions were great even though my moms would give that 'evil eye' for singing 'grown folks songs'.

[bigdude4002]

had to lock the door so my brother would not catch me crying when i listen to this song. Reminds me of my great-grandmother. Still talk to her when she visits me in my dreams.

[outpost20]

one of my favorite classic song...

[univgurl]

I commend the video owner on his/her great musical tastes.

[19770326]

a classic

[jhavonea]

Who songs this song?

[dimpsey3]

a group called> New birth

[lillik23]

reminds me of my life

[stew127]

this song is still hot and like how valrogue did that with the song

[travaluian2]

much prop to skylark and new birth,both versions are such a classic, if you remake a song it has to be at least as good as the oringinal version,new birth did a wonderful job thanks mostly to lead vocalisst leslie wilson

[kwestgirl]

I totally agree with you. The vocals are fantastic, and New Birth takes it to another level when the background vocalists hit those ultra-high notes.

[nola2laca]

the BACKGROUND VOCALS WERE REALLY NICE ON THIS VERSION TOO !!!!!!!!!!

[4337758]

new berth back in the 70's, i was listening to mason one saturday morning and he told the whole history of songs. with this one the writer had this relationship with this woman who had lots of problems in her life, one morning after a whole night of making love to her he got up out of bed and wrote this song while he watched her sleep. i wish you could hear the version that mason told, it was deep.

[RRweatherby]

actually,thats not true,that woman was my mother and she was a bartender,they talked all the time,she was stressed because she had to leave her oldest daughter behind in the philipines and he had started to write this song,she got very upset one night because of her life and said to him she's tired of being strong all the time,she just wants to cry sometimes,she sick and tired of paying for debts she never owed ect.

[filmstarz67]

wow beautiful song and montage.

[bettyboopeyes]

this is hot as hell!!!!!

[kierkier17]

one of the greatest songs of all time!!!

[nsuhothead]

my daddy dedicated this song to me when i was born and since then we have sung this song to gether i love this song and it is so beautiful

[jpenn311]

One of my favorite songs ever

[missb1217]

I can't take no more....... thnjx

[missjanet88]

i like this version best.

[2797921]

the o'jays did remake this song, so did the new birth, skylark did it firsr, then the new birth then the o'jays. but i think the new birth did it the best. especially at the end.

[36index]

Who wrote it, and in what year?

[mfolleyr20]

david foster, not sure what year though.

[clarencefields2007]

this song is best it help me when i am depressed.

[othawilson]

[oneself1luv]

this song makes me think of my mom

[ladiesoul]

this is my sooooooooong ....I want this song played or sang at my funeral .... i also love the ojays version

[Makaveli56]

excuse me ladiesoul i dont bellieve the ojays did this one, i belive it was originally done by skylark.

[ladiesoul]

YES they most certainley DID remake this right after New Birth did it.... they even commented on the newbirth version.... do a LIL homework b4 posting comments TYVM...the ojays version is BY FAR THE BEST VERSION btw

[unpoeticpoet099]

I have to respectfully disagree. new birthtook ownership of this song. no doubt

[11Summer11]

David Foster did a fantastic job, and we can't take that from him, but New Birth took it a step further.

[whyignoreants]

No. This song was originally written by David Foster and performed by "Skylark" in 1973. It was recorded by New Birth in 1974, and then the O Jays recorded it "live" in London in 1975.

klen1918

[yourhighness616]

Yes...the O'Jays did a version of this song.

[nola2laca]

O'Jays LIVE IN LONDON album was a tight version of the O'Jays' WILDFLOWER

[nola2laca]

hey Makaveli-its a live version on the O'JAYS LIVE IN LONDON ALBUM !!!They said that when they 1st heard the song they thought it was a white singer singing a Black song..But they found out it was a Black guy(NEWBIRTH) singing a white song(Shylark)..The O'JAYS smoked it too..

[mrstep2me]

Actually the lead singer for Skylark, Donny Gerrard, was Black as well. There is actually a video of them doing the song on you tube.

[tomp1193]
