I hate hearing stories like that. I heard that only seven people showed up for Philippe Wynn's funeral and that affects how I deal with people to this day.
Yes that was awful and they buried right there in Detroit. He had his way about him and it rubbed some people the wrong way. Still he was a great contributor to our music and deserved a bit more respect.
Lesson: You have to treat people right whether your poor or rich in this life.
One of my personal favorites that I regret not having the opportunity to meet. Mr. Johnny Bristol and "Hang On in There Baby" from 1974.......

MISS YOUR BLUE!

So that means this one is REALLY before your time...but first a little back story that I don't think I ever told on SDF.
A bazillion years ago, Obie introduced me to Clarence Paul. Now back then, I wasn't as sophisticated about the who, what, and where of all the musicians , composers, producers etc. as I am now:cool: but anyhoo, I thought Clarence was just a cool dude who knew the Tops and liked music. One day we were hanging out at his place and I was spinning records [[he had an awesome collection) and I ran across the song I'm about to post. I LOVE THIS SONG and told him so. He started laughing and I didn't know why until he asked me to stop the music and look at the record.....oH s@$#t....HE WROTE THE SONG......LOL ...TALK ABOUT EMBARRASSED:eek: And just a side note, Clarence is the one who introduced me to Ronnie Mac....didn't have a clue about him back then either ahahahaha.....MEMORIES:)

Remembering this great artist. My favorite music period for Natalie Cole was the 70's. This is my favorite by her. She just soars when gets to this part....
We're like a flower to a tree
Like words to a melody of love
There's no way we could break up
No words that can make us
Blow our thing, we're just Inseparable

She could do it all

I Keep Asking You Questions - Black Ivory.
Because I came across a bootleg cd case of Spinning Around in the collection of 286/386 software that I'm cleaning out.....and it contained a Celia Cruz bootleg.
So I started feigning and spent the next 30 minutes looking for one of my 3 BI LPs.
With all this reunion talk a former poster and this song came to mind...

Love is-the chi-lites
Well Ms_M, "Rescue Me" came out in 1965 and I was in grade school. Ain't no need in my lying. My parents use to have house parties and that was one I clearly along with Shotgun, Can't Help Myself, anything by James Brown etc that year. Obie was my friend too. Help us get into clubs during special events LOL! I use to run into them on the road in whatever city I was living at the time and go see them on stage and backstage to cue the homesickness I got sometimes.
I loved Purple Raindrops and Purple snowflakes. That is a funny story you told about Clarence Paul, hehehehehehe...............
JAI did you mean this one by the Detroit Emeralds?

Here in Spain the "great" absolute hit by The Chi-lites was the up tempo single "You Don't Have To Go, Part I" w/b "Part Two"... with the nice violin solo and the sexy whisper in the middle [[by a female?)
I love that song...
