Heaven & Earth - Guess Who's Back In Town

[Leo55BabyBoomer]

pay attention all u would b rappers...look what you may b missing out on when u only think of yourself. Your love may still be around.however if someone else has filled your shoes, that's the end of the program! So sad...so sorry...guess who's holding it down?

[MrZAVION2010]

THE DUKES FAMILY.....ROGER DUKES .....R..I..P

[Leo55BabyBoomer]

What up @Luv2step01? Chi-Town has produced a ton of recording artist. I lived a block away from Curtis Mayfield when he started doing his thing in the late sixties. Currently have a friend who purchased a two story red brick house right at the corner of 78th and Paxton many years ago. And guess what? His house has a basement. Wonder if this is where it all started?

[glasscitadel12]

This, which is the original version is much more relaxed than the remake by Bobby Miller. 

[DaAttorney2009]

I grew up in Chicago and never knew that this group was like around the corner from my school Robeson High....love this song. See great things do come out the Chi from yesteryear...I oughta know I am great too!! Thanks for posting, great songs and wonderful memories remembered.

[boomerang905]

My younger brother know these dudes. They are from Chicago, really cool group of guys. My younger brother was cool too and survived the thriving gang population back then. Some of the guys were good guys who sang their way out of trouble like Heaven and Earth or who worked hard on a job like my brother. Proud of all of them! Beautiful, beautiful song that I never get enough of....

[DGJ08]

Yes, this was a very Big hit for the group and when they told me it was Dean on Lead, I was like who was on lead, this brotha was quiet and very manorable. Whats the odds that you brotha come back together one time and give us this song or recorded it again. Holla at ur boy.

[TheColkevin]

Great Period In Music & The Chicago Music Scene.

[luvdusties]

Thank you so much for posting this!!! Herb Kent sometimes plays this on V103. I have been trying to figure out who sings this song forever!! There are a couple more dusties I'm trying to figure out - one goes "And you'll be mine all mine, all mine" and another goes "You got the best of my love, you got the best of my sweet lovin' ". But it is not "Best of My Love" by the Emotions. Help, anyone?

[hevyonez97]

@luvdusties "mine all mine" is by the stylistics, i think.....and "the best of my love" is by t-connection....both classic chicago dusties!

[bassbliss123]

one of the singers in heaven and earth ...Larry is still in Chicago..

[philcoz]

this is what I.m talking about this what I used to sing with my brick of Red rose me and my friends!.......

[926Warren]

Chi-town! I remember this song as a kid, plus @ the clubs.

[IRONMANHONDO87]

@926Warren I remember this song as well. I never knew that this group was homegrown. Now I've got the big head. I love this song.

[MrBigo828]

[missraheemah]

I would like to hear( this is melody ) i think that's the title of the song by heaven and earth.

[tfuti]

dwight is my uncle

[FunkInDaPocket47]

for some reason this song popped into my head as I was driving home from the store....had to come home and look it up on YTube

[hporterstar]

James and Squeeky Dukes the brothers on this song were the heart of Heaven and Earth. Squeeky had the best falsetto since Eddie Kendricks. the whole Dukes family was great to be around. We were classmates in elementary school singing in the choir at St Brendans Church. This brings back a lot of memories. Thanks for posting

[Tony7027]

The Dukes brothers are my uncles

[phatblackcow]

My parents generation have the good music... My generation cool music....This currant generation have CRAPPY music...they are going to be senior citizens singing "do the jerk"....

[cat3375]

OMG! I grew up listening to this song! I absolutely LOVE THIS SONG!

[Sbtaylor11]

I also grew up listening to this song! I have been looking for this song for a long time.

[funkanova365247]

we you to blow this song for the girls back in the day accuplla-thnx

[MsTexas73]

Mercy, this is one of those songs...yes it is!

[philcoz]

man I  looked for this song! man used to sing in hallways at C.H.A project i.b.well chicago.with my boys and some wine rose brick.back in the day!

[DDCOC]

wow, on Labor day, at the home of (the late, great) Gene Ammons--where they gather every Sunday afternoon til 4am--invited by a friend, this song was sung. Charles Blackmon, a former member of Temptation and the entire Ammons family--everyone can sing in this family--they jammed this song. Since Labor day, I've searched for it, finding it today! Btw, I, too, sung in the hallways of Cabrini-Green and this was a smoker to sing. Those were the days of good songs and lyrics. none wit profanity.

[doctergori]

Thanks for posting; wrong album art though (I had the original, it was gray or sumthing like that with "Heaven & Earth" forming a globe/circle logo)...best underated R&B slow cuts of all time...

No limit; distant melodies, to name a few...

Little airplay outside of Chi-town , C-Town or the north Coast in general

[TrinaBinaBaby]

Ooh wee... this song takes me back to childhood! Growing up in Da Chi with my parents and siblings... thanks for posting this! *teary eyed*

[jazzpoetess]

[beeshor1]

I love this tune! I grew up listening to this on John Johnson's radio station back in the day. It was called WJPC in Chicago. This song brings back great memories of my old "Cheerio Gang". Thanks for posting this!

[byronbenguche]

He's not saying Cherrio Gang.He's saying Material Gain.I thought he said Cherio gang too.But my older sister corrected me when i ws singing the song in the car.

[beeshor1]

Wow. Thanks for correcting me on that. That lyric makes more sense. That's a good catch by your sister. My friend and I have been singing this song all wrong for years. Wait till I tell him!

[byronbenguche]

It's no problem

[LTCCBN]

This is MUSIC...period...influced by the Spinners ...I almost thought it was them..theys guys are great!

[deelowda1965]

WBMX 1978. Thanks for posting this!!!

[clarkraymond]

Does anyone remembers Rosemary Buchanan from Shades of Sensations, she was a member of that group, which is a spin off of Heaven and Earth

[SHEREFFA]

to all those wondering there was never a female in Heaven and Earthm only males, maybe she wanted to be a member, but unfortunately she wasn"t

[dwaysmi]

I have been looking for this song for 18 years thanks for posting it!!!

[bigslick45]

[melliemel39]

thank you, i have been looking for this song for sometime. an all time favorite

[adamwalk]

Muchos gracias senior gchaed!

This is a cut!!!

[sugarbear522]

I heard Dean Williams sang lead in this song. Is there any truth to that?

[HoneyChild5000]

Hello sugarbear522. I can confirm that Dean Williams is the lead singer on this song. Dean who's real name is Herdean Williams happens to be my father-in-law. He is STILL singing this song and my kids love to hear him sing. He still sounds the same!

[sugarbear522]

WOW! Nieece. Tell your father and law I said he has a great voice for a great song.

[HoneyChild5000]

I'll be sure to pass on your kind words. Let me make one correction. The spelling of his name is Herdine. I don't want him to be upset if he sees this

[gchaed]

I saw the group perform this song live when I was in college and I never forgot what a mesmerizing performance it was. We were all on our feet at the end. I searched for two years before I found this song. I posted it because I knew there were fans of this group out there. This man has one of the greatest vice in the history of R&B, right up there with all the greats.

[SHEREFFA]

you have done a great justice to Heaven & Earth by posting this song..never could tell how many fans were still completely digging on them...I LOVE THEM TO DEATH, especially my daddy Squeay and my uncle Jim

[lepoetress]

That is so great!!! Let him know that I was feeling that song then and now!!! They don't make good songs like this anymore.

[Luv2step01]

@HoneyChild5000 .....I was just told that this hit song was made in the basement of Mrs. Ball home at 78th & Paxton, Chi-town. He use to come watch them sing and witness this song in the making. I love it!

[ROBBIEROBMVP]
