The Fantastic Four - You Gave Me Something

The Fantastic Four - You Gave Me Something (And Everything Is Alright)

Label: Ric-Tic 128
Year: 1967

From out of the darkness
Into the light
You gave me hope, baby
You gave me sight

You gave me something
That I could be proud of
You gave me comfort
Darling, you gave me love

Inspiration
(Came from your embrace)
And there's no one
That can take your place

I never had a love
Like this before
And with you here
I won't go back no more

You gave me something
That everyone lives for
The joy that makes
Life so grand

You filled my heart
With something so special
That brings out the best
In a man, ooh, ooh

And that was love
Ooh, ooh, a special love

You gave me something
That never grows old
A treasure more precious
Than diamonds and gold

Something to live for
To dwell in my heart
To love and to cherish
Till death do us part

Everything is alright
(Two hearts beat as one)
We've got a love
That outshines the sun

My whole life before me
It's perfectly clear
Now there's one thing
I want the whole world to hear

Baby, you gave me something
That everyone lives for
The joy that makes
Life so grand

You filled my heart
With something so special
That brings out the best
In a man, ooh, ooh

And that was love
Ooh, ooh, a special love

Everything is alright
(Everything is alright)
You gave me something
More precious than gold
(Everything is alright)

You gave me something
That will never go away, baby
(Everything is alright)

Everything is alright
(Everything is alright)
You gave me something so wonderful

[AndyMM2008]

I do indeed, what a corker that is :D I will upload when I get 5 minutes. I have the B-Side instrumental as well which I will also upload.

[AndyMM2008]

"Glad I found your site Andy,great tracks,love this,thanks"

I will be uploading a few other FF and Northern/Motown tracks that I have if they are not on here. Keep 'em peeled

[AndyMM2008]

anyone know if an instrumental version of this exists anywhere? Would love to hear those strings without the vocals.

If I remember correctly these guys had a falling out with Berry Gordy over not being promoted correctly.These guys were as good as any R&B group i've ever heard,they just werent being hyped by their label.

The summer of 67, many great songs were released. This song , in my opinion is one of the best !!!!!!!

[maveric23100]

I loved this song but you could only hear it on KDKO Denver. The rest of the cornpone stations acted as if they never heard of it.

I LOVE MOTOWN!



[texxbee]

What a song, what a song ...so melodic and harmonious, almost anthem-like in structure. Love it even more than "The whole World is a Stage". Thanks AndyMM for posting and big thanks to the FF for producing such rich music.

One of the best kept secrets of Motown, The Fantastic Four were as good as it gets!

For some reason this particular group struck a chord with me as a little kid around the age of 10 yrs old. I used to love their songs." I Love you madly" was my favorite.
