  • Love this

  • @BeyondBodyAndSoul

    thanks for posting this - this was an awesome time for black people and music ...and thank God for Roberta bringing this brother out on stage

  • No wonder I'm not familiar with a lot of these hits.....I was a whipper snapper at the time...playing with toys..when I should have been at the club with my parents.....MAN......I'm playing catch up now

  • I saw WD at a Roberta concert at the Arie Crown in Chicago, possibly early 70's. Annoyed at first at the interruption of her concert, bought this album soon afterward. Thank you so much for posting this here, may i ask for more?

  • A song of immense beauty!..Thanks!

  • i was introduced to Wayne Davis by a friend from the D C area...purchased the album immediately...over the years i have sang this song...one person thought that i made it up...said it was indicative of my mental state...had never heard of him...lost my album...this is really a treat...thank you...my grandson got to listen to a song that i sang around him from the time he was 4 - he is 10 now...

  • I saw this brother in the seventies, he has an awesome voice. I bought the LP shortly after and still has it in my collection.

  • If anyone knows where I can find a copy of Wayne's LP that has "Strive On Be Strong" on it, please, please, pretty please let me know. I have been looking for over a decade for this song. Thanks so much. This brother lifted my vibes so many times while listening to him in the 70's. Howard U!!!

  • have been trying to find amina claudine myers' version of this...this one is beautiful, soulful, sweet.

  • I acquired this album from a fleamarket several years ago..1 of my greatest finds and treasures! Would you please add "How's moma's Baby PLEASEeeeeee?" Thanks in Advance!
