Thanks 9th.

[rdw7300]

Black women were so beautiful back then. And Black love was so full of hope even if it was just a sex thing. This music says it all. I'm glad I'm old and lived through this.

[msbperfectionist]

I listen to this everyday I love this song Came out way before my time but I feel it ...thanks for this post:)

[TooDarnSoulful]

wonderful :)

[llehcin]

Wow! Deniece stole this woman's voice.

[leniebabe44]

@llehcin Deniece Williams does sound a lot like her...



[llehcin]

@leniebabe44 Maybe that's why they weren't mentioned in Unsung.

[leniebabe44]

@llehcin..they should be on Unsung....they had some great songs.

[majo108]

Best record in my collection!!

[djsweethots]

Wonderful!

[boomerang905]

Almost heavenly sounding. Reminds me so much of the 70s ..... I'd just listen and listen to this at home. Great memories. But honestly one of the BEST girl groups around. If the emotions made it, they certainly should have. But there were a lot of personnel changes. Patti is still around. Really nice and cool. : )

[Rustee50]

thanx for the upload epitaphofdoom. i heard "how can i tell my mom and dad" at a party last nite. I looked it up on youtube and found like 7 GREAT tunes by the Lovelites. God Bless Us for loving the good old love songs and God Bless Youtube.

Murs/9th wonder-fornever

[9876543217303]

Patty and the Lovelites came from Altgeld Gardens in Chicago. Don't you just love the Chicago Sound? They were so young and talented. Saw Patty today....she's moved away from this kind of singing but she is sill very nice, polished and is a lady.

[ferndog681]

@9876543217303 I always wonder about this era of music.If I had time and money I would go around interviewing artists from the golden age of soul and do a documentary. I know alot of Motown is documented but there are alot of great artists that some may not know about. btw I collect vinyl and just found with love from the lovelites album but it's at $249. Im going to keep looking but i might have to buy it (my soul craves it :)

[boomerang905]

@ferndog681 This is a lady and she still holds a job that I see her at from time to time. I always tell her that my sister and I have all her cuts and she appreciates it but has moved on from this type of music. She is so nice. We worked a job together years back but she left and I don't pry into people's lives but I'm sure there are links on her on the Internet. The Lovelites did have a lot of personnel changes too, which could have led to the group's disbandment.

[1jtaztube]

TY for the puload appreciated

[Nelsoncrossover]

They've got some Lovelites stuff on Emusic.

[TooDarnSoulful]

great song :)) thanks :)) ktf

[NJNupe1911]

Wow! I like this, does anyone know where these ladies were from? What label were they on? Did this song chart? It's sooo smooth!

[luvureally]

They are from Chicago. They recorded on the Lock label, UNI & Cotillion records. Their highest charting record was "How Can I Tell My Mom & Dad", it reached #15 on Soul charts. Though one of the most talented "girl" groups of all times they did not have the commercial success their talent warranted.

[NJNupe1911]

WOW!!! Thank you for the history!!!! They sound soooo good! I'm surprised no one has sampled their work yet.

[jordanrael420]

@NJNupe1911 murs/9th wonder on the album fornever!!the song is called let me talk

[epitaphofdoom]

I'm gonna upload the version without strings once I sort out my PC.

[epitaphofdoom]

I can deal with that I 'm referring to.

[manweller1]

Cool, nice tune.

[kennethmcclair]

Great post. I love the Lovelites. All thier song were about life,love, & things that really matter. These youngster could learn alot from listening to this great group.

[ZanzibarJose]

Good copy. I think early work was by Curtis Mayfield and this record sounds like a Barry White production.
