This is a great song! I'm 29 but I was exposed to good, soulful, QUALITY music like this growing up. My mom often tells my brother and I about how different things were back then (when this came out, she was in college).
I REMEMBER GROWING UP WE HAD BLOCK CLUB PARTIES AND MY 2 SISTERS AND I WERE THE FLOWERS/JONES GIRLS. I WAS WANDA. WE SUNG SONGS FROM THIS ALBUM WE LOVED THEM. IT TAKES A BLESSED PERSON TO UNDERSTAND THIS SONG BE BLESSED BECAUSE GOD IS STILL PASSING OUT BLESSINGS.
im 50 now.....BROTHAS....SISTAHS.....Do you remember how GOOOOD music sounded when we were in our teens and 20s? I feel privileged today knowing that spirituality and great arrangements formed my taste in music...music like this...think back...so many of us..our friends, classmates, co-workers, cousins, parents, teachers who were present then... are not here now.... the song title says it all....
This song was a favorite of one of my best friends in the world. She passed away when she was 25. Her name was Gerl. This song brings back so many memories of her and our friendship <3
verdine white on bass; freddie white on drums; al mckay on rhythm guitar; Maurice White the producer; Charles Stepney exec producer - classic EWF grooves. in mid-70s EWF ruled the airwaves. Young people, Yall missed it ... but, fortunately, we've got YouTube for all of you to CATCH-UP. not really -- but, it's worth a try. What a spiritual intro -- then it gets outright FUNKY. Phenix Horns screaming loud and PROUD. by teacawks@yahoo.com
The message and the Emotions song the heck out of this song. Maurice White you out did yourself on this. Also, sisters their never be another group that so many wanted to replica.
Blessed, Blessed....my soul feel good about ties that bind, me and you and all mankind together! Thanks for posting, such wonderful voices from Chicago!
this song ain't no joke, I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Anyone remember when the group JADE covered this?! They did their thing, but these ladies make '77 and beyond that much more beautiful! :)
