Brothers Johnson - I'll Be Good To You

I'll Be Good To You by Brothers Johnson

I want to know
Just how you feel
Said-a I want to know
If what you feel is real

'Cause there is a reason, yeah
For the things that I say
I want to love you, girl
In a special way

We've been together
For so very long
I would hate to break up
Break up our happy home

The way we stand and the way we lie
The way we love and the way we cry
Of all these things there lies a tie
Makes me feel that it's worth a try
I'll be good to you

[Chorus:]
Good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you, good to you
I'll be good to you, good to you

'Cause there is a reason
For the things that I say
I wanna love you, girl
In a special way

We've been together
For so very long
I would hate to break up
Break up our happy home

Take a step now, and let me know how
All of your ways, girl
And all your know-hows
I'll be good to you

[Chorus 5x]

@slapopimp Hopefully someone can comprehend my point! My comments about every decade of music is that it has always changed in style & relevance. Today, all U need is a home computer or ipad to make music. You don't need a band or studio. All the things that made ADULT MUSIC special are lost to generation X & technology. I'm not an advocate of this, just pointing out the obvious. It's easier for corps. to produce trash to teens than quality to adults. Get it? Sign of the times!

@TheSuperbird43 I'm a musician & I was born before the 70ies. I'm fully aware about the things you've mentioned. My original point was based on what faith2xxx said. He complained music isn't the quality it once was. IMO.. keyboards, computers= (1 man band), teens having no real musical standards & corporate greed capitalizing on that fact, are the reasons music sucks now. It used to be about music 4 adults! Now, it's all about teens & young adults. Not my rules or desire, just an obvious truth!

@GoMifuneLives Point taken. Cheers.

@GoMifuneLives Your correct, But,!! before Elvis , all the whites went to clubs with all black entertainment...just a reminder (im white)..

[GoMifuneLives]

@hork111 : Dude you need humility. Who created the sax? the trumpet? bass guitar? The guitar? The white Europeans. Then the blacks took these instruments, which didn't exist in Africa, and made great music like Jazz and Blues. So how is it that you seem to forget that it is an amalgamation of cultures and races that created something better than could have been created separately. That sounds a lot like the formula for America, dude. You need to get your head out of your azz.

@GoMifuneLives I just watched the Q-Tip video (and even tho im not a big rap fan, I thought it was well written)..@marcusallen26 led me to it...

[GoMifuneLives]

@marcusallen26 I just want you to know, out of curiosity, I looked for some Q-Tip based on your mention of him only. The first song I listened to was ManWomanBoogie, and I was lovin' it. Now I've got to listen to all his stuff. Love that song and love the video (the one where they're on the train). Thanks man!

[marcusallen26]

@tommieparch No, sir. Just an avid listener of hip hop and music in general. Musically, I'd like to learn to play the keys.

[tommieparch]

@marcusallen26 Im a guitar player in a rock band, are you a hiphop dj?
