I knew there was a different girl in this group. I didn't know that they switched girls when i was younger i just thought they looked a little different. The replacement was good, she could carry a note and sing about betrayal. Sharron had soul. Touch a four leaf clover was my JAM.
I too saw the Unsung episode. Excellent group with absolutely beautiful music. I don't think they were underrated. I loved Sharon's voice, but the group keep finding missing pieces and moving forward. Absolutely one of the best R&B soul groups of all time in my opinion. Let's Get Closer, Circles, Am I Dreaming, When Love Calls. Wow, from one group. Excellent.
I just saw Unsung, the original group was the best. However, they failed to mention this song I'm glad you posted it. Another one that wasn't mentioned was the song "Silver Shadows", God I miss the 80's!
@kevinhagan17 Watched it today (recorded the episode). What a group! It's crazy how Barbara's accountant dude took her money! Another great episode! I LOVE that show!
I think that it is good that samples from movies or hip hop/ rap songs strike the curiosity of our young people and make them want to hear the original. It keeps the music alive. I'm 32-my brother is 50.I got this music from him. If it weren't for him exposing 70's & 80's music to me, I may have learned about this song from a sample. We should ENCOURAGE our young people to broaden their musical horizons- in era & genre....
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
Let me check you before one of these old heads do first. 70's music was mellow because at the time there was no rap. We didn't go around in our music calling women Bitches and Ho's such as music of today.There's a difference between sexual innuendo and just flat out saying it like your generation does. You better check your violent crime stats of the 70's and 80's to the violent crime of today. Add that to your college thesis. I'm also college educated who cares what you have!!
@ Oldskool1025 The 70's 80's and 90's music era was just as sexual and violent as "today's" music. sexualization of pop culture didn't come from "hip hop" although hip hop and rap makes it less obscure however 70's 80's and 90's music like "shake you down" "do it to me" were coded in sexual innuendos and more explicitly songs like "in between the sheets" put not only sex but having sex in the minds of the youth of yesterday thereby setting a trend for the youth of today.
@reconecho Of course you are right but the fall into downright blashemous and profane art disguised as prolific Black music was recognized by me in the early 80s (although I knew of older examples that were on the edge of depravity) It is not the same as it was back then. Stories used to be told in the lyrics of songs, but IMHO, it has evolved into simply a form of narcissistic expression. There is a big difference. It is just my opinion, as stated.
@2441883 You have a degree. Good. Then you know that in the past, lessons, stories, myths, and histories were passed down orally in town halls via speech, drama, and song. The written word has not always been a way for the common man to communicate. It seems to me that I can hear this in older music, but since the early 80s, more of it has been about killing people, mysogyny, and ejaculation. I am not trying to be offensive!
@2441883 your opinion is worth a thousand words.... these songs made me fantasize about romancing a woman not just sexing her.. i thought about falling in love forever...
This is REAL music. All I listen to is old school. My ears are too precious for me to sit there and listen to this buffoonery & tom foolery of today's time.
Two rappers from Tennessee by the name of Don Trip and Starlito sampled this song and called it LIFE take a listen old school they did they thing on it they didnt mess it up take a listen please no bullshit
NOW THAT I HEARD THIS LAY HER DOWN BANGER,I GOT A FEW THINGS TO DO TO SET THE NIGHT RIGHT.FIRST ME AND MY WIFE SHOWER AND WATER FOREPLAY.THEN DRY EACH OTHER OFF.THEN LOTION EACH OTHER UP.THEN I GO AND GET THIS BRILLANCE ALBUM FROM MY THOUSANDS OF ALBUMS,YES ALBUMS,THEN PUT IT ON MY RECORD PLAYER,YES RECORD PLAYER,THEN EASE IN THE BED WITH MY EVERYTHING AND DO MY USUAL FEET THING THAT I DO(I LOVE FEMALE FEET)AND STICK PLENTY LOVIN TO HER.AND IF I'M LUCKY MAYBE TWICE.NOW THAT'S OLD SCHOOL.
It such ashamed black folks don’t seems to give recognition the extremely talented music artist in the past ….i mean not to knock other people, but Elvis is being implanted in our brains for generations because he being constantly mention. Yet artist like Atlantic starr, sos band , the bother Johnsons, isley brothers..etc
Love this track, always get nostalgic for no reason other than the fact you get so engaged with the lyrics and the arrangement of the song... classic.
Get up in the morning and I take a bath Count my cash and Wash my ass and Think about the days when I was broke No joke Lighting up cigarate butts just to get a toke Starving marvin I need a meal Putting salt and pepper on a banana peel Use to put the s on skittles from 9 to 5 Do whatever I got to do to stay alive 30 cents away from a quater Going to the store for a forty of water Hungrier than jack Dreaming of a big mac Two all beef patties speacial sauce and all that
I miss these big bands...Atlantic Starr, Midnight Star, EWF, Barkays, Lakeside, and so many others......just the lyrical content alone would burn most of the artists of today....hail to the 70s & 80s.....
I put this vinyl on last night and it deeply moved me and my husband! I don't know if you can listen to this track without being consumed or deeply inspired with love... we were! One of my favorite songs EVER. A song so good that it makes me wanna cry (happy tears).

does anyone remember an album the group put out in the last 10 years or so? I originally thought that TIME was the last to date and then I could have sworn some really underrated one came out after that. Thought I saw it in a store. The picture on the cover didn't show them too close up, maybe there was a change in members. Someone help please....
This is the essence of real music. The music nowadays are actually sampled from older classics like this. I am so sorry the real music genre is dead, Kenny P

Only people who like real music which includes well written lyrics and musicianship need apply.
@ced8668 Your my age!! I danced a slow dance on this song at my 8th grade class dance!! I was on cloud nine!! They jus dont make classic music like this anymore Music like this brings back special memories 4 me!!!
It's all over now folks. Black music used to be sooooodamn nice. This is GREAT music! The writing, vocal arrangements, the music, the lyrics, the delivery...the talent.
If you were not around in the 70's and early 80's, well you simply missed it. Please enjoy these classic tunew because now....Black music is DEAD> End of story.
People say Hip Hop doesn't influence behavior.... That's a lie! If can influence the way our youth dress. It can definitely influence the way of thinking. Look at the world today and see how violent it is. I grew during the 70's and i'm 47 yrs old. Our music was mellow and our era of youth were mellow. We romanced our women because of our music. The youth of today have disrespect for women and society. Why? Because music influences behavior. Our music did and we were mellow. Their music isn't.
I'm French,I'm twenty Years old and I listen Funk since 10 Years now, I romance my girlfriend because of our music. Don't be so pessimistic ! I've Many Friends like me who keep the Funk alive ... with You ! ;)
Lol. You personify the redundant and ridiculous "old people" logic- I am 28 educated black male with a B.A in Political Science and finishing a Masters in Political Philosophy. Sorry to say but that type of analysis of today's youth is further from the truth. the 70's era was anything but "mellow" and the music reflected that. Old people tend to romanticize their youth as if that era was "normal" when measuring today's "normal" however nostalgia is a drug that allow us to alter ones past.
@reconecho Many of us are happy for your educational accomplisments. Unfortunately you are uneducated about music. It's about the actual music i.e. vocals, instruments, harmony, ORIGINALITY (Not Sampling from REAL Talent!) Someday you will mature and become a real man and see the light. No offencce youngster, God bless :)
@ Oldskool1025 The 70's 80's and 90's music era was just as sexual and violent as "today's" music. sexualization of pop culture didn't come from "hip hop" although hip hop and rap makes it less obscure however 70's 80's and 90's music like "shake you down" "do it to me" were coded in sexual innuendos and more explicitly songs like "in between the sheets" put not only sex but having sex in the minds of the youth of yesterday thereby setting a trend for the youth of today.
80's was full of great music and great sound. One Way had a slow song that was very popular back in the early 80's. I do not remember it but it was the bomb. If you run across it please post it. Thanks!
@justsimplyart isn't that the truth though! wish we can have this soul music again... i want to go back the 80's and 90's when life was simple and fun. ;)
Lord Have Mercy.....This Was The Slow Jam That As A Pre-Teen Had Me Fantasizing About Closeness & Passionate Love.....Ya'll Know What Im Talking Bout!! Lolol.........
with the exception of a few artist today, and i'm not talking about no fucking t-pain,drake,trey song ect.. this type of music is a lost art. this is considered soft or for ''gay ass nigga's'' according to the thugs of today. music went from love,having fun,dancing,celebrations,family functions ect.. to shoot outs,drive bye's,disrespecting adults, getting your dick sucked on stage, gang group sex with minors, ect.. this is why old schoolers talk bad & don't buy the shitty ass music of today.
@str8outtatexas1 At least your decent enough to call it music, but in reality this shit on the radio today is 100% pure WEAPONS GRADE BULLSHIT, simple as that, now Atlantic Starr, and groups in that era played music, real music.
@zande0001 -yeah i did'nt want too crush these clowns too bad. there's a few good one's like jaheim, raheem devaughn, and a few others, but that's it. hey boss i've heard so much dumb shit from youngsters regarding slow jams, it's pathetic. I hate too say this because i don't like to degrade or say bad things about people personally, but alot of these thugs in music and their fans are crack babies from the 80's & early 90's. my sister worked at a hospital for 20 years and said the same shit.
@str8outtatexas1 I totally agree with you. They just don't make music like this anymore. I sure miss the good old day, when you could sit out on the porch until 3 or 4 in the morning without being shot at. Yes we did have fights and arguments too but we would fight it out and the next day we were the best of friends again. We didn't have to kill each other to prove something. These young kids nowadays have no direction, no sense or brains.
@Ludwig1936 -very,very true brah.I don't even know you,but i love ya for keeping it real.all the things you said is a duplicate of my days growing up as a country boy from texas.
@str8outtatexas1 So what was the difference besides the 80's bands were snorting coke and getting blowjobs behind the scenes?
A few hundred thousand cellphone cams and people with internet access who blog about it?
The attitudes and antics you speak of have always been there, there's just way more accessability to these things due to modern technology that makes it seem more prevelant.
And music is whatever you make of it, whether you're painting a picture to it or doing a drive by,
@psychomajic666 -hey brah I'm not saying people were'nt doing drugs or having sex with groupies ect back then, my gripe comes from the type of shit they rap or sing about. the music today does not have the feeling,soul,compassion as did the music of the 60's through 90's. today it's all materialistic & beef with others which have lead to the death of some major rappers & artist. Brah it's not because i'm 44 or stuck in the past, I've seen & heard the transition from great to 80% garbage.
@str8outtatexas1 I feel u. Most of the shit past off as R&B today is just crap. I've found that you gotta go dig around for the good stuff, as everything on TV/radio is going to be a Rhianna or Justin Bieber.
I'm more of a J.Davey or Raheem Devaughn fan.
My main issue with much of today's modern music isn't the sexual content, rather the lack of originality or "soul" and feeling as you mentioned.
what makes music so nice is when u can understand each word an the cool relaxin beat behind an nice words not those u knw wht i mean music u an ur family can sit an listen without all those nasty words some of them ave.
I am a 30 year old woman. even though i am kind of young i feel fortunate to have been around when music was still music. i believe the generation after me lost out on so much just in music. REAL MUSIC took u places.
Real talk tho the music that these guys are coming out with today has no originality to it and most of it is sampled from groups of the 70's and 80's thus music is not truly allowed to grow with the times... so therefore, most of the music today is crap... I'm 35 and lucky enough to have experienced music of the 70's and 80's and beyond... the music today for the most part is a bunch of S.H.I.T and will never stand the test of time like this song and the like...
NOPE ! Sorry;but it HAS to be said : it IS crap (=music of today...) !!! Even though I seldom post that kind of comments; I can only agree with it, and reading such comments just makes one (like me...) aware that there are lots of others who think the same...
This Is Music!!! How far we've fallen in musicianship and lyrical content. I CAN'T STAND THE CRAP THEY PLAY ON THE RADIO TODAY. I feel so sorry for this generation. Technology is killing the soul and passion in music.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
My God, I had totally forgotten about this classic song! I was just doing some cleaning with the '80s digital radio station playing and it came on and I immediately remembered it. What a great surprise to end the day! It's been favourited.
smh ...... i know i post this ALL THE TIME ..... but man this is real music right here .... do you know how many people made love to this song? how many babies were made? how many memories people ? ALL B/C OF "CLOSER" ..... LOL
Pure Nostalgic! I was born in 1985 in the same decade of years after this album came out! My mother and father (i.e. born in '52 and '58 respectively), had me growing up listening to "nothing" but this type of soul stirring music in the late 1980s-early 1990s, in the decade which I was growing up! Thanks you are AweSome!!!
@sweetnessnbk yeah i believe this was the song we were playin' over n over, that lovely n special nite!~ lol o' the memories. thanks for OUR child! lol
@sweetnessnbk I keep tellling everyone that sister's don't slow drag to rap music they slow drag to the classical soul music, this is how couples first hooked up at the parties, slow drag, hook up, start going out, get married get pregnant, buy a house and have a family, it first starts from the first slow dance, ha, ha, lol, lol, but today's music, not, I'm 52 I know, I was there. There's no romance to rap music, Black Women are romantic's first, second and third.
@sweetnessnbk ...You werent the only woman that get pregnant. Some a few times. Others committed adultary. Men cheated on their women and their women cheated on them...LOL
This song will sit with me forever. KBLX in Oakland , Ca played this on August 29, 1983 the day my adoption was final. I went to live with the most wonderful parents anyone could ask for. I wanna say about 630 pm because i remember the sun setting over the bay as we rolled down the late nimitz freeway. I am 28 now though every time i hear this i drift on back.
My drink, Im fresh and clean,its dusk out and and the evening is unpon us,me and my baby getting ready to hit the town and we ride with the moonroof back as we let this tune play. The GROWN and SEXY! In love and doin it for over 23yrs...this is what this song suppose to do..make those who are CLOSE even CLOOSSER.
@666deathghost , oh no...i wasnt hating by a long shot..i love this music. i really didnt have anything else to comment on, and i had it stuck in my head. its awesome that you posted this here, and hate the fucking core bullshit...which proves to me that you have great taste in music.

does anyone remember an album the group put out in the last 10 years or so? I originally thought that TIME was the last to date and then I could have sworn some really underrated one came out after that. Thought I saw it in a store. The picture on the cover didn't show them too close up, maybe there was a change in members. Someone help please....

People say Hip Hop doesn't influence behavior.... That's a lie! If can influence the way our youth dress. It can definitely influence the way of thinking. Look at the world today and see how violent it is. I grew during the 70's and i'm 47 yrs old. Our music was mellow and our era of youth were mellow. We romanced our women because of our music. The youth of today have disrespect for women and society. Why? Because music influences behavior. Our music did and we were mellow. Their music isn't.

Lol. You personify the redundant and ridiculous "old people" logic- I am 28 educated black male with a B.A in Political Science and finishing a Masters in Political Philosophy. Sorry to say but that type of analysis of today's youth is further from the truth. the 70's era was anything but "mellow" and the music reflected that. Old people tend to romanticize their youth as if that era was "normal" when measuring today's "normal" however nostalgia is a drug that allow us to alter ones past.

@ Oldskool1025 The 70's 80's and 90's music era was just as sexual and violent as "today's" music. sexualization of pop culture didn't come from "hip hop" although hip hop and rap makes it less obscure however 70's 80's and 90's music like "shake you down" "do it to me" were coded in sexual innuendos and more explicitly songs like "in between the sheets" put not only sex but having sex in the minds of the youth of yesterday thereby setting a trend for the youth of today.

with the exception of a few artist today, and i'm not talking about no fucking t-pain,drake,trey song ect.. this type of music is a lost art. this is considered soft or for ''gay ass nigga's'' according to the thugs of today. music went from love,having fun,dancing,celebrations,family functions ect.. to shoot outs,drive bye's,disrespecting adults, getting your dick sucked on stage, gang group sex with minors, ect.. this is why old schoolers talk bad & don't buy the shitty ass music of today.

I hate too say this because i don't like to degrade or say bad things about people personally, but alot of these thugs in music and their fans are crack babies from the 80's & early 90's. my sister worked at a hospital for 20 years and said the same shit.

@str8outtatexas1 I totally agree with you. They just don't make music like this anymore. I sure miss the good old day, when you could sit out on the porch until 3 or 4 in the morning without being shot at. Yes we did have fights and arguments too but we would fight it out and the next day we were the best of friends again. We didn't have to kill each other to prove something. These young kids nowadays have no direction, no sense or brains.

The attitudes and antics you speak of have always been there, there's just way more accessability to these things due to modern technology that makes it seem more prevelant.

psychomajic666 4 months ago
@psychomajic666 -hey brah I'm not saying people were'nt doing drugs or having sex with groupies ect back then, my gripe comes from the type of shit they rap or sing about. the music today does not have the feeling,soul,compassion as did the music of the 60's through 90's. today it's all materialistic & beef with others which have lead to the death of some major rappers & artist. Brah it's not because i'm 44 or stuck in the past, I've seen & heard the transition from great to 80% garbage.

I'm more of a J.Davey or Raheem Devaughn fan.
My main issue with much of today's modern music isn't the sexual content, rather the lack of originality or "soul" and feeling as you mentioned.

Real talk tho the music that these guys are coming out with today has no originality to it and most of it is sampled from groups of the 70's and 80's thus music is not truly allowed to grow with the times... so therefore, most of the music today is crap... I'm 35 and lucky enough to have experienced music of the 70's and 80's and beyond... the music today for the most part is a bunch of S.H.I.T and will never stand the test of time like this song and the like...
