im 37 but it does remind me when i was a kid and life was hard.. but even though i didnt understand it i did like the song,, anyways it reminds me when i was a kid...love it
the music then had meaning and soul,feeling behind it.you dont find that in most artist these days.its about mostly nonsence like shootin a mf or getting high on somthing.look if justin beiber can get a job singing any one can.
FOLKS STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT TODAYS ARTIST, BE HAPPY THAT YOU GREW UP WHEN YOU DID , ITS NOT THE ARTIST ITS THE RECORD COMPANIES THAT WANT NUMBERS, SIMPLY PUT DONT SUPPORT CRAP.. IT IS WHAT IT IS NOW LET ME GET BACK TO SOME SWEET LOVE, AND REMEMBER THE TIMES
My Brother's used to play this, EWF, The Beatles, John Lennon, Curtis Jackson, Sly & The Family Stone, Stevie Wonder, and soooooo many more, back in THEIR day, (lol hell it was MY day, too)
Ok guys..listen up!! For all of you men that want to know what women really want, I'm going to finally reveal the answer right here on you tube!!!! We want you to make love to us like this man sings!!!! When you men figure that out, you will have the world at your fingertips! : )
The most beautiful music of Commodores!The voice of lionel Richie is so cute!!! I love this song !!!!!!Remember my sweet love,I love all my life!!!!It*s for you my eternal sweet love!!!!!!!!!!!
Listen to Lionel Ritchie at his peak, before Mrs. Brenda Ritchie caught him with that white girl, and beat all the hits outta him! Sista felt so disrespected it took SIX cops to pull her off him. I'll bet he will remember throughout all his next 100 lives to stop disrespecting the sisters!
what a great song/group! i love this shit! race ,creed color,religion it does not matter. it seems there is alot of racial tension on here.my mom raised me on r&b . the music is all that matters. i can assure you with a name like gausepohl, i am as white as the driven snow. we all are the same in the eyes of the lord. THIS IS MUSIC!!!!
@meltone942 Omg, i so agree with you because this music here crosses all racial barriers. And yes lord, we are all the same in God's eyes. It is so unfortunate that people never get it, but I do.
@dreid1500 If we are all the same in God's eyes then God needs glasses. And if you disagree with that then it's a sure bet that you've never seen my sister in law!
Sweet Love = God's Love = Infinite Love = Complete Love = Unconditional Love = Unimaginable Love = Sacrificial Love = Serventhood Love = Obedient Love = Special Love = Overwhelming Love = Intimate Love = Personal Love = Corporate Love = Unbelievable Love = Comforting Love = Friendly Love = Innocent Love = Righteous Love = Amazing Love
This was the First song I recall that helped make them get noticed. They had a great sound, and there was much more than Just Lionel, talented band. Lots of early great albums.
beautiful vid that you have put together, showing all of the members of the band who made this sound possible. Now if I could only get this damn time machine to work...
Quick question: The part at 2:38 with that pulsing tone...There's another song that has a lot of this in there and I can't think of the name. I know that's really vague, but its such a laid back song. It's a white group, I believe. I want to say it had something to do with the moon, too. Any ideas?
@thoostorm4 I wasn't trying to compare this to the group I'm talking about, dumbass. It's just that one part in the song that reminded me of it. Now scram, troll!
@thoostorm4 I assume you mean "no white group" when you say "NOWHITGROUP"... That's a BIT presumptuous, as this song is more than a little 'country' (though there really appears to be very little difference between R&B and country, except R&B groups have more teeth and country has more 'steel guitars').
Maaaaaan! This is some serious stuff right here y'all! I'm tellin' y'all something I know! They can't make stuff like this anymore! This is the music that has stood and continues to stand the test of time! It doesn't get better than this right here!
It's easy to forget just how great the Commodores were before Lionel Richie left the band. They were a horn band. They were a funk band. They were a ballad band. I'd call Sweet Love "Gospel influenced soul". Whatever it is, it works. Richie's solo stuff is nice, but the solo stuff never generated same A-level live band feeling that the Commodores could bring to the table.
Sweet love reach out a touch my soul-- what more can I say.
? --With this kind of music. with a message of love, why or how did we Black bros and sis get away from seventies era music. You feel me- R& B is our grass roots. Maybe Hopefully some new goups will come and fill that void Peace Trae
The fabulous 70's....No music like this music ever...We all had such a good time, got along oh the memories.. what happened to those yesterdays! SIGHS! I miss those days..
Great music, memories, friends and the best of thimes!
@2009Denisem Yes i love the commodores, beautiful easy listening music, the golden era the seventies, i would buy a ticket to go back there yesterday.
@curtisjones400 YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, because the people who call themselve's singer's aren't hardly that!! (I'm NOT going to name any right now, but they're out there) They MUST NOT have been born when this music came out.
Ths is such a sweet love song and please forgive the title repetition. Such a pretty song. Thanks so much for posting. My favorite song by the Commodores.
