I've always loved this song, I remember searching for it as a kid cause I had no idea who sang it. Sure was frustrating when all I wanted to do was play this over n over again.
They were song writers for Philadelphia Int., the inventors of disco, before they started performing as Womack and Womack. The craftsmanship shines through.
Das sind Erinnerungen an eine tolle Zeit in den 80igern,wenn dieses Lied kam,zog ich die schuhe aus und stürmte auf die Tanzfläche, es hatte einfach den Beat für mich, schwelg, träum:-9
I've got love for you if you were born in the 80s. The tunes released were all so good, shame that everyone walked round looking like a twat with rubbish hair, either on strike or on the dole. fucking Maggie and Ron ruinied it.
Yes, sad actually, but rather romantically sad and melancholically cool in the sense that a kind of hope or sweet memories arise in a moment of lost-in-thought-rest.
@rapgeschaeft No she isn't... The womacks are Cecil Womack (1947) en Linda Cooke Womack. Cecil was formerly a part of the Womack brother. Just like Bobby Womack. He's not in this song. Bobby's well know for the song 'Across 110th street'...
As far as I am concerned, this is not a happy song that makes me want to dance but it's a sad song. However, it's one of the most beautiful and rythmic sad songs I've ever heard.
@jrowland67 , i can C how U could say that about Badu.I'm a Badu fan & she's got her own thing going on too, but I don't think she is as much of a singer as Womack, if you know what i mean. I really like Badu but there is a fuller range of possibilities in Womack's voice & vocal skills.She's just the better singer.This is no insult to Badu.I'm sure some would prefer Badu,but regardless of the music or style I think Womack's glorious talent as a singer/musician pour through like sunshine & honey
nice sounds combination----just wow....80´s rock ....today all the shit! forget it ...back to 80´s...i m 26 ...but 80 was my sleep music when i was young....phill..and and and.....
That's Ted McKenna former Sensational Alex Harvey band playing drums and college lecturer at North Glasgow College! I think anyway.. it's defo his hair and drumming technique! He used to tell the class of the big bands he played with!! Ha :)
You could say that.. You see Mrs. Womack is Bobbies step daughter. Her father was Sam Cooke. Bobbie married Sam wife very soon after Sam died. A huge scandal. I don't think the baby girl was born yet. Later Bobbie and the former Mrs. Cooke divorced. So the girl was barely Cecil's niece. Still, quite a tale.
you needed to be born in the 60s or early 70s to appreciate the 80s. otherwise, you would have been to young to have really experienced it. I was born in the 70s but I'm a 90s BABY!
Does anyone know the name and the artist of a song from about 1978 with these song lyrics: When I wake up in the morning, the very first thing that I do, I turn on my radio and I listen to Y O U
Why are the youtube ppl constantly changing the youtube video player? leave shit as it is sometimes! that whats wrong with the world nowadays, always wanna be better, go higher! this so-called HD sucks ass!!
im having a right bastard of a time finding a certain version of this, cos there have been literally hundreds. Its a dance version, one of the fastest, but the chord sequence is the same as this original one, not like half the remixes. Probly only known to UK listeners. Anyone?
yes the blonde i agree,but the guitarist jerod with the white strat,does anyone have any info on him?saw him many times about 20 years ago playing at the marquee and other london venues,i've even a poster taken from the toilets at a pub in walthamstow! his trio played hendrix style rock to a large crowd.
This song was the epitome of cool. The singers had this appearance of detachment while delivering a song of of power,hope and grace. Brilliant stuff thank you.
2:25 Mutt Lange Moonlighting some freelance work on the boards? Lol! I highly doubt it. I looked it up and can make no connection with him to this song. Good Look A Like though.......and A Great Song - an 80's Classic.
I don't know, but with you I got attracted to the Blond in these. I can't say it's black music, but the video suggests some multicultural and politically complete corect view on what we experience at present.
Hey nice stuff for sure.
