[SJBranam]

Classic

[mstruthseeker100]

Wow...what a beautiful song.

[jray1099]

"so i am back into your heart let me .....cause i need u"

[honeywater37]

OMG!!! As a cleveland native I loved "For Lover's Only" except I remember Jeffery Charles, I would have my tape ready to record. Jeffery Charles palyed the jams old and current and even songs that should have been in rotation. I learned R&B listening to him... He was the best. Oh yeah don't sleep on WDMT 108FM love's Train...

[2Umsjean]

[whoiscarlito]

CLEVELAND!!!

[luvyasoot]

When I was a teenage boy on the West side of Chicago, we had a great time bumpn' and grindn' to this song. What a reminder of what true love songs of yesteryear was like. Angela Young, where you at! Sorry to your hubby. I remember the basement parties, so dark and hot in the summer time. I don't think there's a better place to grow up and become a man than Chicago. All my people who go out and do it the right way from North Lawndale stand up! West side I love you! and I'm still in corporate!

[FunkInDaPocket47]

Whatever happened to songs like this that had lyrics that make sense and have meaning? This is an awesome ballad! Thanks for posting! Hearing this just takes me back to a time when music was played by real musicians and vocalists!

[2marki]

Girl girl don't be blind, can I help make up your mind!!!

[mrbossman151]

[sehunt123]

I think you are right but they were called "kingsman band"..Love this song!!!..Knock..knock..who's there?

[morrowdc]

I first heard this song in 1996, and immediately it became one of my favorites

[shesobreezy]

Clevelands own right here !

[shesobreezy]

I listened to this song more then 10 times just beautiful

[JGfitzz]

I'm from southside of Chicago from 63rd street AKA the 6 Tre, I remember in the early 80s. Me and My crew P/Inc. AKA Players Incorporated. We were like royalty in the neighborhood basement parties. We used to call them sets. We would get a girl, and bend her way back, we called it ( BREAKING HER BACK ). Grab her BUTT and get to grinding to these slow jams.

Those were the days, LOL.

[jay290q]

That Kinsman Dazz!!

[MagicMDBnike]

Cleveland Finest Outstanding We need a old school nigth

[diamondaaa711]

You are all on point, as I grew up on 93rd Kinsman until entering the Air Force. These brothers were bad and I still play their music! It lives forever!

[2black2day]

This came from the "Let the Music Play" album. Which was the first Dazz album I heard and is still my favorite. The groups harmonies were great. This never gets old.

[flapjack7777]

without question 1 of the most underated groups for the life of me i cant see why the dazzband wont go on tour.or get back into the studio.the dazzband we fans hope to hear from you in 2009 please.and this is a great post ariesespo.

[BWKAPPA]

The Dazz Band is best known for it's Grammy award winning hit "Let It Whip", However, true fans of the group remember their soulful ballads that consisted of; Knock Knock. Heartbeat. Until You. Gamble w/my love. Bad Girl. Laughing at You. Stay Awhile. Slow Rap. Just believe in love. So much love. When you needed Roses. Now that I have you. Invitation to Love. I'll keep on loving you.

[Msredhoney720]

You forgot about Might as Well Forget About Loving You!!!! If I'm not mistaken it was their FIRST hit ballad!!!!

[ariesespo]

I had that song up on Youtube and they took it down. I still have the Mp3 if anyone wants it

[Shaolin913]

BWKAPPA U hit it right on the head with ALL those songs every last one of them.

[MisterBings]

Again another one of those "Late Night" love songs you would hear on "For Lovers Only" on 93 fm WZAK - with Bobby Rush. Rainy nights, It's 1984 and I am in a 1983 Pontiac Parisianne ,White w/ White top and red interior.This car is clean with the spoke wheels and white wall tires -shinning with Amor-All.I am on my way to The Reason Why or to Vel's . Cleveland all day every day - better believe it.

[simont7]

The Reason Why . . . Not!  Bringing back memories!

[Humblejanice216]

As a native of Cleveland, I too remember how proud we were of these brothers even when they were called Kinsman Dazz.

[ValleyGyrlTV]

I remember too.  I'll never forget this music. I miss those days so much.
