@GetGunBucked- this has to be Love's In Need of Love Today..the opening notes from the opening track from Songs In The Key Of Life..by Stevie. From 1976..long before Blackstreet. The greatest album. Ever. Period.

donny hathaway/quincy jones collab "bossa nova" ..dope, 9th!

RIP Dr. Fischer..i'm a fan and a "student"...this is a great loss to the music world. I am truly heartbroken.

Dope! Fathom..ya boy Kev aka the "Tamla T Twin."

@FlawlessKlang no problem..i'm K2..i did the beat.. :-) i am honored that you like it.

@theairbrushdude that's ALL Brian in the backgrounds on this particular joint. However, T6 has done backup. But rarely is it all the members. I don't think there has ever been all 6 members on any of Brian's albums. Only when he guests on THEIR albums. But he credits them as "Take 6" on his album...

@jacksmith3204 Well said!! My sentiments exactly down to the use of the vocoder as a shout out to the original version. RIP Syreeta.

@crismjj it sounds like a good extended edit if this user did put it together..i was at a DJ Spinna Stevie party this year and he played a "true" extended version with extra ad libs, i believe there was an extra verse and some stuff was rearranged, but it kicks off with Stevie doing the countoff ...

Best Take 6 guest spot of all time!!!..Arranged by former members Dr. Cedric Dent and and musical master mind Mervyn Warren. They also sang on It' All In The Game on this same album..

@JanniferJane oooh pick mee pick meee!!! al pha q now...lolZ

@thighseye really man? *DEEEP SIGH* man..you're all over the place..LOL..first of all, what i DID NOT address in my last response, was i NEVER called his brothers "leeches"..if you reread it, i separated "bros" with a comma. ok now, we don't actually have a disagreement here, i don't think. I di...

@kendra3136 LOL..have you seen the "1-2-3 Sesame Street clip?"

@JOEGOODIE561 i did NOT. I wonder if it is a sample or they just had someone singin it and playin on it.

@bahamasgirl72 is Christmas in August where you live? LOL..this came out in august 84. It's from a movie soundtrack called The Woman In Red. Christmas can be anytime though..who cares about the calender?

I think Stevie Wonder's "Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer" was the blueprint for this song..and I LOVE that song and this one is great as well!

Patrice "The Beast" Rushen..i mean Gatdamn! She has always been sick on the keys..if you don't know..you're so lost. Don't sleep!

@codyhenrytrombone i agree..this was messy as hell..you were on point with EVERYTHING you said here.

this song ACTUALLY belongs to Rod Temperton..LOL..

@paconot yes.."fuckery" it is..i'm am so glad you say that she does not represent you..i'm a black male and just cringe at her coonish antics..poor lady...if she knew better, i'd hope she'd do better..but she doesn't..and believe you, me..she is a media darling because of it...she should NOT be a...

@ReinSoul thank you! I won't go THAT far to say that, LOL, but.... i love this and Cherisse is a great singer/writer.

@musiclover77able check out Merv's arrangement of O Come O Come Emmanuel. Whitney Houston performs it but it's ALL Merv in the background..(plus a bass synth patch).

@DetroitTwinz i don't think Merv, ever decided NOT to...LMAO

@ADAMOLOGY you've blocked messages unless you request me as a friend so i was not able to send you the message as requested. Sorry.

dude in the white shirt look like the Son of Steve Harvey! Betchassnecka! Gotchachachachaaaaa

this has Rod Temperton ALL OVER IT...Who better than Rod? Damn he OWNED the late 70's thru late 80's..he never has to write another letter..let alone, lyric..

this was the song that sparked the idea for the choir in We Are The World, pretty much all of the people on here were there, except Brenda Russell, Michael McDonald, Christopher Cross..

@buckhowdy rules said "on or about 3.7.11" that they would notify via email and overnight mail. While somehow i forgot that date on the official rules, you have now successfully prompted me to grab my own pin and needle combo to rest on..thanks! LOL! Now i'm sweating.

I DIIIG THIS..i'm all about the acapella..please check out my vids..i have an a capella one and now i REALLY wish i woulda used some mics...this is crisp and clean! My a capella one is the 3rd of my 5, i'd like to hear your opinion of my arrangement.

i've watched them both a few times now..this one is the one that makes me groove! please see my 5 vids...good luck to you! ;-)

i dig this! please check out my vids as well. i did 5 of them and tried to switch up the styles on each...this one here is sweet!

this is one of my faves..love the progression changes under the Folgers lyric the 1st time around. I've enterd too and I made sure that I changed everything under the melody harmonywise on all 5 of them..it's awesome to see what people come up with and i DIG this..great job guys!
