@bairahrecordings yup it sure is it's crazy how many songs these artists have sampled and sometimes you never know where it came from...it amazes me how they can take something like a simple 30 second sample and make it into a hit

I became a member of a wonderful band called "Cordial" in this year. We went on to record with Bill withers in his nice studio down in San Jose. His engineer, Grady, was tops. I still remember those days. Anyone remember the Rickshaw?

[txgirlrider73]

The year of my birth was a good......yes a damn good year!!

[jojamful]

An under-rated group! My fiance and I LOVED this song. He was killed and every time I hear this, I think of him and the memories! Thank you, BigMTown4, for this post!

[caramelhotti24]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! My first time hearing this song was yesterday. I can't stop playing it!! Growing up in the 80's and 90's I must say my generation missed out on some exceptionally great music and musicians! "Understand me and I WILL understand you!" Poetic!

[letsdance1978]

I LOVE!!!!! This song!!!!! The was the bomb, slow jam, slow drag song back in the day!!!!Thank God, no one has tried to remake it!!!! What happened to them!!! I would love to see them in concert if they are still around and all the other groups during this time frame!!!! This is what you call a "LOVE SONG"!! A black man singing his heart out to his woman!!! But "Wildflower" is good too an we can't forget "Dream Merchant".

[kariebeez]

Before I really knew anything about relationships, this song used to set me off. The deeply soulful vocals and the music -- I almost couldn't handle it. "Hang on, hang on, oooh baybaa, oooh Lawd yeah, hang on hang on, been (way) too long Gimmee little love, gimmee little owww, baybaa, baybaay, do it, do it baybaa," yeah this song definitely spoke to me then.

[truegeminisoul]

Born in 1972 I remember my folks playin this and it is still the shit!

[spacetravel1]

truly a very powerful and meaningful song...to the heart....

[bscndtx]

"Been such a long time...boy i still luv u...guess i always will..." sad, but true,smdh...lol....my favorite song of all time...

[KingRT5]

My Fathger (R.I.P) used to sing this song to my Mother.. It was they Cutt.. i know every word and im only 21... LMAO.... i said all that 2 say R.I.P POPz And this my KUTT

[pokey939]

Definitely a classic. The whole entire albums are classics. what ever happened to the group? This would make a nice Unsung addition.

[Contessa19582009]

@pokey939 saw two of the group's members (Melvin and Leslie Wilson I believe) perform at South Beach Bistro on Roswell Rd in Atlanta. 2007 I think was the year. One of the Brothers Johnson performed their hits also; playing bass guitar for all of the bass heads in the audience. Awesome show

[jdpatterson100]
