this one of those songs that when you hear it ....you cant forget it....i be singing this all week now....more than i can say about most modern rubbish...
this song peaked at only #48 on the soul charts in april of 1973. not good for a philly record , especially around this time when just about every other philly record was a hit or close to it. then again when you listen to this record you get the impression it was made and released in the wrong decade (it sounds like a late 70's, early 80's sound.)it probably would have climbed higher on the charts. just my thought !
Its great to come on here to see the comments,and see what effect the music we grew up with,had on our lives.We have to give respect to anyone who keeps this sound alive,be it you tubers,djs,or groups like the Northern Soul.It amazes me to see how the whole world has a love for American soul music.Guess like a lot of others,We're living in a time warp,and dont want to let go and we wont.
I never heard of her before but I do love this song. When ever I hear old songs they really speak to the hearts and it takes me back when love was innocent. Love is still innocent but now people let the body take over and it's all a lie now with most people.
Great song.Could listen to it for hours.Remember rushing down town to buy the single.Got it still somewhere.Competition last night on the radio for 50 song titles with a number 1-5 in the title.Texted this one in but DJ said he could not remember it.Hope he looks it up.Great songs do stay in the memory.
This is a perfect example of how underrated Brenda and the Tabulations were. Their songs were extremely well written and performed. They took everyday feelings that we all had and transformed them into little gems of music. You could identify with the song. Wonderful.
@supremes1 The only time I've found this on cd was 'Legacy's Rhythm & Soul Revue' catalogue no. EK 66912, released in 1995 and probably now out of print. Try eBay !
I've sung this song in my head and parts of it aloud "one girl too late" since i was a kid . Nice to hear it again in it's complete form. old groups...old songs never died.
