@ewiz06 I love your comment back at that crab. don't worry about him lol only the white men would say something like that dumb comment lucilledelorme made. Too bad they don't have men that look like they did back in the day anymore....SEXY and sweet I love the fro : ) my dad has picture of himself from the 70s like this and all and i am proud to say. OX
Those were beautiful times back then. Much better then they are in today's troubled world now. The music then had meaning, along with beautiful memories you can relate too in your past. Today, the world is gray, not rosey like it use to be in so many ways. Going back in time, with the beautiful songs left in our hearts and minds, will never cease with me.
One of my favorite Spinners cuts too...and Henry Fambrough should be called the 3rd lead singer. He is fantastic on this song and "I Don't Want to Lose You" among others...So touching and poignant!!
That's the problem with "mainstream" modern R&B. The subject matter is so redundant. Always the same themes. With great groups like these,Stevie Wonder,Marvin Gay,Earth Wind & Fire,The Temptations,Mandrill,Willie Hutch,etc.,they had a lot of songs about social awareness and other themes. It wasn't always just about "love songs", "dancing" or "somebody cheating on somebody" all the time.
Born and raised in Chicago's housing projects in the 70's, I can relate on every level of this song. As hard as those times were, somehow I still miss them. Must've been the music.
I may be 16 but I know music and this is it
