1977 K-Tel 3-LP Release, "Roots Of Soul"

Released in 1977, "Roots Of Soul", was one of my favorito classic recordings, which featured some of my favorito singers ranging from Sam Cooke to Wilson Picket. I first heard the 2-volume 8-track set after my family sent for it, por of televisão advertisement. My parents used to play those 8-track cassettes almost everyday of the week and I would enjoy listening to them. I wish it was re-issued on a C.D., so I can listen to it again. This classic recording contains songs from all the original artists as mentioned on the album, and I just happend to think about it. Being a fã of old R&B music, and I can hear what they're what; in addition, to listening to them sing. This classic recording is so hard to find, and only way to obtain a copy of it is on Ebay. I amor this classic recording, and if I had a copy of it,, I would be listening to it to this day.

In my opinion, this the best classic recording of all time; in addition, to not being able to find and make C.D. out of it.

1968 Motown Release, "You're All I Need"

Between 1967-69, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell had successful string of hits as duet partners on the Motown roster. Although Marvin has recorded duets with Mary Wells and Kim Weston, he gained mais exposure when he teamed up with newcomer, Tammi Terrell, as his duet partner. Sadly their musical partnership ended when she passed on in 1970 due to a brain tumor when she was just 24 years old.

When I hear classic duets such as "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "If This World Were Mine", "You Precious Love" and "You're All I Need (To Get By)", those were some of the greatest duets in Motown history....

Old School R&B Music: Why I Like It So Much

Whitney Houston

When I hear old school R&B singers like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin, and I've come to the conclusion that classic R&B música is long-forgotten, and the singers I listen to today just don't hold a candle to the old school singers from way back. Ne-Yo, Mariah Carey, Chrisette Michelle, K-Jon and the rest of the R&B singers we hear on the radio today are all right, but nothing compares to old classic R&B música from way back. Those are the kind of singers I like to this dia especially Michael Jackson.

However, there some singers who are just as...

Michael Jackson

If was ever was an R&B Heaven, you know there is going to be some good música playing up there as the they reunite for a good old geléia, geleia session. I can see Michael Jackson reunited with his longtime idols, James Brown and Jackie Wilson comparing some of their famous dance moves; in addition, to showing Sam Cooke how to do dance and his famous Moonwalk, which made him an overnight sensation in the early-80's. I miss these classic old school R&B singers for the reasons they all passed on, and I can understand what they were saying in their songs.

It would be nice to see them in up in R&B...

amor On A Two Way rua

First Recorded By The Moments In 1970

Written por Sylvia Robinson And Burt Keyes

I found amor on a two way street
And lost it in a lonely highway
Love in a two way street
And lost it on a lonely highway

True amor will never die
So I've been told, but now I must cry
It is finally goodbye, I know

With música softly playing
His lips were gently saying
I amor you

He held me in desperation
I thought it was a revelation
And then he walked out

How could I be so blind
To give up amor the very first time
To be fooled is a hurting pain
To be loved and fooled
Is a crying shame
While I urso the blame
As he laughs my name

With música softly playing
His lips were gently...

La la la la la lalala la

For you
There might be a estrela
But through my eyes the light of you is all I see

For you
There might be another song
But all my coração can hear is your melody

So long atrás my coração without demanding
Informed me that no other amor could do
But listen did I not though understanding
Fell in amor with one
Who would break my coração in two

For you
Love might bring a torrada, brinde of wine
But with each sparkle know the best for you I pray

For you
Love might be for you to find
But I will celebrate our love...

This is it, here I stand
I'm the light if the world, I feel grand
Got this amor I can feel
And I know yes for sure it is real

And it feels as though I've seen your face a thousand times
And you said you really know me too yourself
And I know you got addicted with your eyes
But you say you gonna live it for yourself

Oh

I never heard a single word about you
Falling in amor wasn't my plan
I never that I would be your lover
Come on baby just understand

This is it, I can say
I'm the light of the world, run away
We can feel, this is real
Every time...

Superstition

Written por Stevie Wonder

Very superstitious, writings on the wall
Very superstitious, ladders 'bout to fall
Thirteen mês old baby, broke the lookin' glass.

When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way.

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong,
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song

When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh.

Very superstitious, nothin' mais to say,
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way,
Thirteen mês old baby, broke the lookin' glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past.

When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no.

Going In Circles

posted by cherl12345

1994 Release, Songs

Written por J. Peter And A. Poree

I'm an ever rolling wheel
Without a destination real
And I'm an ever spinnin' top
Whirling around 'til I drop

Oh, but what am I to do
My mind is in a whirlpool
Give me a little hope
One small thing to cling to

You got me going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
Going around in circles
Oh, around and around I go
I'm strung out over you,
Over you

I'm a faceless clock
With timeless hopes that never stops... Never, Never
When I feel that way
You know my soul's at stake

Oh, but what am I to do
My mind is in a whirlpool
Give me a little hope
One small thing to cling to

You got me going in circles
Oh, around and around I go
Going in circles
Oh, around and around I go

I'm strung out over you
(I need you baby)
Ugh, I need
(I need you baby)
Call me
(I need you baby)
I need, baby, my baby, my baby, my baby, my girl
