A true old soul classic...What you see is what you get, by the 'Dramatics'...
Back when men, males, actually matured...grew up...and looked like men...
Talked like men, and sang like men...
And as such, comforted many others...
What a contrast compared to todays, saggy pants wearing odd balls...

True Entertainers...
I miss this era of class and grace....
Rap and gutter street style has totally gutted the urban community of such vast artistical range....
Thanks for the good times MJ and Diana Ross...lady of class you are...

Walking down the street watching ladies go by, watching you...
Back when soul music healed you...I so miss this time period...
I also miss how back then, males actually grew up and acted like strong leaders, Fathers, within the black community...
Dressed like men and acted like men...
Then something just happened...
The crack wave of the 80's or something...something just came in and ripped apart the black community...created this modern day single mother hood culture...fatherless culture...a culture where all the males have been marginalized, in jail...
Something very tragic occurred during the 80's.
And now it's like it can't be fixed.
It's nice seeing men dress like men in this video...instead of like gangstas who speak filthy language.
Positive things were occurring in the black urban communities...then it's like Satan just came along and destroyed it all.
Anyways...at least there's memories of wonderful songs like this, with no cursing or defiling language...just 'brothas' putting out good music and being positive...and dressing like adults instead of gangstas...

 This is what female feet should look like...feet should be soft, like silk, gentle to the touch... Women shouldn't have long ugly toe nails that look like weapons, and or charred feet. A womans foot should always be softer than a mans... Sister Sledge...living grace... Old school classic... |

Delegation 'Oh honey'
Old smooth golden soul classic from back in the day, I often think life was best in America from like 1965-1984.
Seems people, things, were always on the up beat back then, back then everyone wanted to be American, and many were conscious to the civil rights era, blacks and whites that is.
Newly arriving foreigners, not sure if they give a dam about America's history, it's struggles or evolution.
Or the fact that many native born American 'Blacks' died, were slain, fighting for rights they can instantly enjoy today when arrive by airplane, boat, train or ship.
America, as you know it today, wasn't just born or created this way, it took time to evolve into what it is now.
And many newly arriving immigrants don't bother taking time studying it's history, but instead arrive thinking it's their right to be here, and that they can simply import their own homeland views into equation.
Anyways, this section is about music, not politics, so enjoy the song, just sad that those I wish most could enjoy this song are probably dead now, or don't even bother surfing the net.

Most urban males growing up in the 90's better recognize this tune from the rapper MC Eiht
They were one of the original Gangster rappers from Compton.
But this is the original song and melody he rapped over.
What a classic song, the above is the original, the below is MC Eihts cover of it.
I actually like and can appreciate both versions.
Gotta remember when rap first came out, the rappers often borrowed from the songs their elders listened to, what their Fathers and Mothers listened to while struggling in the hood.

Sorry you newer millinial types, or however spelled...back in the day, it was OK to announce how soxy a person was....

Long live the old school types...

Every body loves the sunshine
Younger white hippie types be getting high off this type of music today...LOL..or cry out loud.
Either way, this is some deep old school soul classic stuff.
Back when 'brotha's were just more cosmic, and free, before J--- hi_jacked the black music industry and turned it all into gangsta crap.
This song produced when black artist were indeed free.

As?, 1970's street jive!
Back when Stevie Wonder was on fire, back then Stevie Wonder was true 'funk', today's version of 50 cent, Pac, and ect.
Back then rap didn't exist, so anger, passion, had to be expressed through song and no better at that than Stevie Wonder...live on my brother.
