    Smile Delfonics Question...

    Any help greatly appreciated in advance....
    Okay, the earlier Stax tenure of The Emotions recorded a song titled
    Take Me Back written by William Hart of the much beloved Delfonics but
    does anyone know if his own group ever actually recorded that song. I
    myself never remember hearing them do it and couldn't find it anywhere
    I looked. Sheila and her sisters certainly do a killer rendition of it but if I
    could hear Will sing it, and how he handles that closing wailed chorus...
    " I WANT TO BE YOURS!!! Take me back!..." Thank goodness for 70's soul..

    I told this story before but here it goes again. I heard a radio interview with Will Hart about 10 years ago on how he wrote the song, La, La Means I love you. His son was a baby in the crib and he used to say la, la, la, all the time. Well that got me to thinking [[which can be dangerous at times) that when I become a grandmother I don't want to be called, Nana, Grandma, etc so I decided that my name would be Lala cause it means I love you! And that's my name!

    Sorry to go off topic but...............

    Splanky, I checked but could not find any evidence the Delfonics recorded Take Me Back. But that is not to say they didn't...they. might have recorded it with a title change?

    I've never heard of them recording it either, but that doesn't mean they didn't. I'd honestly be kind of surprised if they didn't record it.
