This was 1983......love this song. Brings back so many memories. Finally found it on CD via Amazon. Had to buy it on cassette cause my album was so scratched up.
I'M FROM THE CLEVELAND AREA AND GREW UP LISTING TO SKIP MARTIN, AND THE DAZZ BAND. THIS IS ONE OF MANY COLD SLOW JAMS. REPPIN FOR 216, 440, AND THE 330.
THANKS , I got the single of Let it all blow somewhere couldn't find it. I was looking for the B-Side This is it so great Loved this one more than a-side.
I remember growing up in Cincinnati, back in the mid to late 70's, and in my neighborhood, you had garage bands. A lot of those guys went on to play with some of the Ohio groups like Midnight Star, the Deele, Bootsy Collins, the Ohio Players, Heatwave, Roger and Zapp, and more. I went to Ohio University freshman taer in 1985, and getting turned on to the Dazz Band by some of my Cleveland classmates. I have been a fan since. Their songs remain in my all time favorite slow jams..
i love to hear songs from when i was a teen the dazz band i know all to well growing up in youngstown south high school we had talents shows from where skip came from and billy beck from the ohio players all from the south side and going to south high school there was nothing like it and to go to reeds arena on a sunday night and hear the bands live. IT WAS GREAT
@purple8414 I graduated from South High School, class of 81' myself, and I remember our annual talent shows well. The Dazz Band was one of the classic groups during that time.....LOVE them!!

This is my favorite song by the Dazz Band. This is the kind of song that can make you fall in love with love., And Skip Martin's lead on this song is awesome. It takes me back. I'm a romance writer, and this type of music gets my mojo working.
OMG! They don't make music like this anymore, I grew up on 147th off Kinsman in Cleve, Oh...These guys were the Kinsman Dazz Band & later dropped the Kinsman once they grew (Black HIstory Fact, lol).. this song makes me all warm & fuzzy inside, I miss these guys, they should have been as big as the other male groups back then like O'Jay's, Spinners, Temptations etc. because they were right up there fwiw..OLD SCHOOL, yall don't know nothing bout dat!!!
@2Umsjean Growing up off W 130th and Pearl back in the day, I was turning on to the likes of the Dazz Band, Gap Band and the whole music scene was alive. I saw Aretha Franklin, OJays Temptations in the stadium the same summer I saw the Rolling Stones. One of the very best albums of all time, Off the Wall, propelled this groove and melody. Dazz Band and Cleveland? what's not to like?WZAK jammed.
This song came first, then a little paradise by the dashboard light.
@2Umsjean I was just tellin my sweetie a couple weeks ago that the Dazz Band was originally known as Kinsman Dazz for Kinsman in Cleveland, we are both from Y-town and he said he never knew that. We graduated 79'-81', and the Kinsman Dazz was and still is one of my favorite back in the day groups!!!
ok, so today was the first time I ever heard this song, as it was sent to me by a very special Man who dedicated to me, he got me all smiles over here
Love this's got that "Whispers,Delfonics,Moments,love Ballard spin it's in a group of some of the best Love Ballards sang in years since the great love songs were put out since music has changed with Hip Hop which as tinted music .The will truly stand the test of time ..This is a Baby Maker"
Back in the day, we had a group in Youngstown, Ohio called "NuTune". Frank Lope, Randy the keyboard playa and myself, BDCroom. We sang this song and many others at all the local talent shows. The crowd went crazy when I hit the high falsettos on this song. Tried hitting those notes again about a year ago. I did once, but it took a little work. Man, those were the days. Thanks for posting this. Look out "Yo"! I might be doing this with the local group "Total Package" sometime soon!
this is me and my husband's song when we first I met we as still listening to it in 1994 but that was both of ours favorite song when we got married in 1996 that was our wedding song and we played all of the Dazz band songs....even until to day we still play our Dazz and still very happily inlove all these years later, This is and always be real love songs...
why is 80's funk so buried??? i feel like i have to search to find the really good stuff like this....and i was born in 90 so its not like i lived through it and remember what songs to look up
@oberlin1990 If you are looking for the Top Groups & Solos Artists of the 80's:Prince, Michael Jackson, Sade, Cameo, Brick, Gap Band, Zapp Band, SOS Band, Rick James, O'Bryan, Shalamar, The Time, Atlantic Starr, Midnight Star, Starpoint, Ready For The World, Lakeside, DeBarge, ConFunkShun, Luther Vandross, Alexander O'Neal, Cherrelle, Freddie Jackson, Glenn Jones, Eugene Wilde, Loose Ends, Kool & The Gang, Art of Noise, The Deele, Frankie Beverly & Maze, Renee & Angela, Surface,
@eyeisrich thanks...i know a few of these groups but i still have a long way to go lol....my favorites are Gap Band, Zapp Band, Kool & The gang and of course MJ
Sennie (skip) Martin. the man behind The Dazz Band and even at one time the lead for Kool and the gang once James(JT) taylor left the band. One of a kind distinct voice.Nothin can compare. Nuff said.
put this song on a playlist with this first, then prince - do me baby, and end it with Skyy - when you touch me, and you GTD! for all those a ittle slower, thats (GOT THEM DRAWS)
i still feel the same way each and every time i hear it and i dedicate it to all the men i have had the priv of lovn karen stone farmer baldwin..........!
@eastbrookmusic ... Man it seen as if Ohio put out some of the best singers, and music I've ever heard. Is it me or could I be correct on that and I'm out of Las Vegas.
Man, I remember way back getting a nice little slow grind to his song...if you were out on the floor when this was playing you knew you were getting a little sumpin sumpin afterwards....LOL. School dances and house parties were the shit back then. Kids nowadays have no idea...
It is hilarious to hear folks reminisce about old loves when this first came out.
I think about someone also when I hear this song. She chose to have kids by different "baby's daddies," and still lives in the same small, racist, redneck town we met in. I dodged a huge bullet, LMBAO. Back then you couldn't tell me nothing bad about her. You could have drove 4 or 5 lowriders up my nose it was so wide open. LOL
yo this is the kind of song you send with a dozen roses,man if she dont go out with you after this .just leave it alone brother"and check me at woodsofresh
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; Dazz Intro 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. Invitation to Love.
I soooo love this so
ng...they dont write music like this anymore..sad face
