Velvet Satins - Nothing Can Compare To You


* General American, 006 "Nothing Can Compare To You" / "Up To The Rooftop" (1965)

I can't compare you to the stars,
There's no flowers as pretty as you are,
Way you smile, way you walk, way you laugh & way you talk

Nothing Can Compare To You

Can't compare you to the jewels
If somebody try, it'll be a fool
How you shine your own way, turn my darkness (...) today

Nothing Can Compare To You...

R.I.P Eddie Bo 1930-2009

(Smokey & Eddie)

New Orleans R&B, early funk (one of the precursors like Willie Tee who put the funk into New Orleans map), singer, arranger, producer, pianist, great lyricist too ("You'd better check that spinach / Olive's in the danger zone" "Check Mr. Popeye" 1961)... Eddie Bo passed away and I'm completely screwed.

Dana Valery - You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies


* Columbia, 44004 (1967)

You can hear Paul Simon singing the small part "You don't begin to comprehend".

You don't know that you love me
You don't know but I know that you do
You may think you're above me
What you think isn't always true

Don't try to debate me
You should know that I'm womanly wise
Still you try to manipulate me
You don't know where your interest lies

You don't know where your interest lies
You don't begin to comprehend

You're just a game I like to play
You may think that we're friends all right
But I won't let friendship get in my way
I won't let friendship get in my way

You Don't Know Where Your Interest Lies

Bobby Kline - Say Something Nice To Me


* MB Records, 1001

Say something nice to me, don't just say goodbye
If this just has to be, at least won't you tell me why
Before I've break down in front of you & cry like I wanna do

Say something nice to me baby, girl say smething nice to me now
Baby, My Love, I don't want to say goodbye, talk to me

You just can't walk away from all those things we've planned
One minute more, just stay and try to understand
'Cause I don't know baby when I'll see you again to (...) until then

You know I love you girl as long as I've sheltered this
What have I done so bad that you just can't forgive ?
Talk to me baby with your special tone and while you're in my arms...

Say Something Nice To Me !

Chi-Lites - 24 Hours of Sadness


* Brunswick 55426, "24 Hours Of Sadness" / "You're No Longer Part Of My Heart" (1970)

24 hours of sadness, since my baby's been missing
24 hours of madness, all I need is just a kiss

Wish I knew just where I can find her
She don't know love she left behind her

24 hours of teardrops since my baby's been missing
24 hours of heartbreak, all I need is just a kiss

How can I live without her
She don't know love she left behind her

24 hours of sorrow, oh maybe tomorrow
24 hours of breathing, all I need is just a kiss

She don't know love she left behind her
Wish I could, Wish I could remind her



http://www.box.net/shared/1qr7c3uoqy


I annouce that "24 Hours of Sadness" is the greatest song ever... for this week. So smooth, so soul, so philly... How can you not root for this guy in love with his ex-girlfriend ? Hey, that could have been me.

Bernie Williams - Ever Again

* Bell Records, 768 (1969)

Early we meet oh baby then we kiss
Then we find that lovely place
Before we met each other I was so alone
Yes I was, and so now I've got yes I have someone to call my home

and so now we go together as to face my destiny
Now we know that love, allright, is the right can be

The Gaylettes - Heartaches I Can't Take It (Black Jack)

I've been dissolution it's so much confusion
I was satisfied until I was deny
'Cause with my baby, he can't to let me go
The heartaches began to grow

Heartaches I Can't Take It

I tried my best to make you my baby
Cause lovin' understandin' but you're too demandin'
Now you tell me the end is near
Baby now listen here

I can take a headache maybe two babe
But heartaches I can't take
I can lose my money, it wouldn't be the end
But losing you wouldn't be the same

At your mercy, I need some sympathy
And baby I'm hopin that you're just jokin'
'Cause if you ever tried to put me down
And this, right in the ground

Heartaches I Can't Take It

Tobi Legend - Time Will Pass You By


Tobi Legend - Time Will Pass You By

Passing seasons over fade away
Into misty clouds of autumn grey
As I sit here looking at the street
Little figures quickly moving feet

I'm just a pebble on the beach and I
Sit and wonder why
Little people running around
Never knowing why

Life is just a precious minute baby
Open up your eyes and see it baby
Give yourself a better chance
Because time will pass you right on by

This big old world is spinning like a top
Come and help me pal and make it stop
All you have to do is live for now
Come along with me and I'll show you how

Take my hand I'll show you how to live
Why wait until tomorrow?
Take my hand I'll lead the way
To a brighter day
