Prior to his recording career he was on the U.S. track and field team. As an athlete he set the world record for the 200 meters at the age of sixteen with the help of his volunteer coach Jeremiah Armour.[1] He qualified for the 1984 Olympics, however he was unable to attend after being involved in a car accident in Brazil.[Your Love's Got a Hold on Me" was his first Top 20 R&B single in 1984,
I can not wait to make love to you !!!!! You are such an awesome man!!!! Trucker i will wait for you for ever !!!!! I can just feel your touch and kisses ummmmm!!!!! Love you always your Nurse!!!!!!
@thetruckernurse yup,so beautiful when we are together like time stops..and we make love all night long,ugghh then i have to call in so we can keep it going...
I believe that Lillo Thomas and Freddie Jackson used the same producer for their albums. Which would explain the similarities between this record and Rock Me Tonight by Freddie.
Great slow jam. Reminds you of the days when you used to tape the quiet storm and play it for that special someone over the phone or if you were lucky you were able to get through to the dedication line and dedicate a song to that person. Notice how the melody for this is similar to Rock Me Tonight by Freddie Jackson.
omg, I love this song it is so beautiful i am trying to download it to my phone i really love this song. I wonder where he is at today he has a beautiful voice and music. If u seee this Lillo Thomas good job come back I love ur music.. a fan forever
Bro. Lilo, you sang an all-time baby makin-classic, Back in the Day, of Summer, '87. I know, because I was there--KBLX, 102.9, The Quiet Storm In Oakland, CA. Graci Forever. Wolfsky9
Such a great song!!! Was lookin for this song but never remembered who sang it. I remembering watching this on BET back in the day on Quiet Storm. LOL!
This all-time Soul Classic was just one of soooo many geat songs I 1st heard on KBLX, The Quiet Storm,, 102.8, in Oakland CA, in the 80's & 90's. There was simply no radio station--anywhere--playing better music than those guys did in that era. GBY, KBLX, Forever. Wolfsky9
Ohhhh, Ladies & Gents, this is music--thisi Soul--this is beautiful, & you've not slow danced, until you do it to this all-time Romancer! Lillo, GBY, Forever! Wolfsky9
Does anyone know this other song he had out Im not sure of the title but some of the lyrics went, that girl could've been mine instead a friend of mine.
The song you are looking for by Lillo is called "That Guy Couldve Been Me" it was on the LILLO album. You can download the track on iTunes, Napster and amazon
love this song!!!!!!!! i was young when my mom and aunt played this son and i watched it on midnight love but i never forgot this song!!!!! yezzzzzzz!
the car accident while on a music promo tour in brazil did keep him out of the olympics but no serious injuries..he is fine and still runs recreationally. He is touring- doing some shows in US and Europe and releasing a new cd November 9th.
I will pay anybody for this song or cd please someone out there help me?,cause i can't get this in south africa,it is not available i had the vinyl in 1989 but lost it since then.
omg! check it out yall ima youngin and i got a thang 4 this old skool music iswear it makes me feel so good .this song makes wanna take somebody son and straight do it to em yah dig. thanx 4 dis post boo righeous
@FireitupBedford Sir, U R soooo right when you say that---this is music--real class soul, like we'll not ever hear again. Today's " singers" have no idea of what class is, do they? Bro. Lillo showed what it's all about here. Wolfsky9 , 64 y/o
First heard this in Germany while in the Army back in the early 80s', I finally found it, thanks Archie, Man you just brought back some memories, Lilo was "da shit"!...Come back Lilo, A brotha is begging ya to sing again!
hahah Secret Lovers is one of those BEAUTIFUL Songs that kinda makes you feel guilt liking it sometimes, cause the message is so wrong but the lyrics, melody, and tempo is very beautful
I can not believe I actually found a link to this song. I have been wondering who the artist was for 21 years now. I can remember listening to this song while thinking of my high school crush. And yes, all those memories just came rushing back.
THE VIEDO IS EXTRA SILLY HE IS SINGING THIS SONG WHILE HIS SHIRT IS OPEN BLOWING INE WIND. MIND YOU HE IS WALKING DOWN THE BEECH WHILE THESE THINGS ARE TAKING PLACE.hE SING LIKE HE MEANT EVERY WORD THIS SONG IS ALRIGHT WITH ME.
I used to watch the original video over and over on Video Jukebox back in the day. He was singing in the rain. This is seductive. Please find & post the original video.
I didn't know there was a video for this song. I also had the Video Jukebox Channel, but this video wasn't available in here in Philly, but I wish it was! That would be a treasure if I could see this video, this song was (and still is) my jam!
GOOD NEWS! You can see the original video. Look on the list of Related Videos for this one and you will see mikki howard-baby be mine/lillo thomas-wanna make love from fmartinjr. Its a dual video all in one. He is the second one. Thanks Yo You fmartinjr!!
this sounds a little ripped off from Freddy Jackson's I wanna Rock with you...but what the heck...now a days it's the norm to rip off other peoples work...ie "SAMPLING"...funny how times change people's sense of normalcy...LOL.
Thank you so much for putting this song on. I love this song it reminds of when I graduated from high school (yeah class of "87"). I just told my age but I don't care I'm proud. They don't make music like this anymore. I've been trying to find Lilo, thanks again you just brought back some fond memories!!!
Will forever be a jam!!!!
