This was when music was music and singers were singers! I'm surprised no one's done a remake. But then again, I don't think anyone could touch the original.
@SangNoir2012, you are so right about the Mary Mary song "Heaven". As a matter of fact, that whole album or CD is on point. The modern music with gospel lyrics is moving.
God knows why, but I woke up at 4:50 a.m. with this song stuck in my head; from what I can remember of the dream I was having, I was dancing at a wedding.
At the ripe old age of 49 I remember the good ol' days when this song was top of the charts.
I remember ALL the great songs those of my generation and location (NY) enjoyed via WABC-AM radio.
Thanks for posting this great video. The song still holds up all these years later!
Thank you for the post...this was actually the 2nd time they performed this song on Soul Train. I just saw the original episode on BET...they were some good looking women!
The famous Gospel group Mary Mary sampled this song of their third album "Mary Mary" in 05. Their song is titled "Heaven." It was #1 on the gospel charts for 9 weeks str8.
I want to thank SweetGeorgiaPeache for posting this song , I love listening to this song & the other songs by Honey Cone . Edna , Shelley & Carolyn have Beautiful voices and this song makes me feel like dancing . I find it addictive to listen to , I can play it over & oven again ! These days there isn't a lot of Quality Vocal bands like we had during the 70's . We were lucky during those years , there was Great music made in that decade , Love the Honey Cone !
I love the music of Honey Cone , Edna , Karen & Shelly have Beautiful voices & are beautiful ladies also , I would love the chance to see them perform today , thanks to Soul Train for providing this video .
If only this sort of thing worked.....LOL! Seems to be a theme that 2 other songs used as well: 1. Escape (The Pina Coloda Song) by Rupert Holmes 2. Wanted (Alan Jackson). In the songs, the other 2 seemed to work. HC doesn't tell us if theirs worked.
I like how they were actually allowed to show a genuine smile.
