It is hard to believe sometimes that she is gone. She did leave us with some great music like this one:

It played in my car today. Of course I had to turn it up a couple [[few) notches. Great song. Curiously, it was the only Instant Funk record that played in my town.

I think this is the only song of theirs I remember. I had just start college in Denver and their only black station, KDKO use to play it. That's where I first heard it. The video is totally new to me. The song came out before MTV, so there really was not an outlet on TV for promo videos yet.

From the Winter of 1969-70......The Originals "Baby I'm For Real". Seems like they played this every night on the radio back then:

The Dramatics debut this jam on local Detroit television in October of 1977 "Shake It Well"

Love's theme-barry white.

This woman was part of my soundtrack in the 80s and 90s and I am thankful:

This is my favorite Chi-Lites song:

Oops! Must have been reading an older post, thinking it was current. [[Those pesky senior moments!) Well, I still hope you had a good one!

**Jerry Oz** · 07-17-2019, 01:14 PM

Believe it or not, it's the B side of Have You Seen Her. Those two songs make that single better than a third of the albums I own. The lyrics are very relevant to the way I approach the world and always have. Hmm... I wonder what would qualify as the best B side to a single?

Relegated to a B-side! That's really surprising, Jerry. It should have been saved for an A-side single. In fact, if I had heard this record on the radio back in 1971, I would have sworn it was a new Motown group, especially with its rich melody and Paul Riser-esque string arrangement. And, I agree, I, too, like the lyrics. They relay a positive message.

I love SDF. I find real people in a virtual world when I come here and I'm always in awe for the experiences of so many members. We don't have as many fights as we used to [[thank God for that, Ralph didn't need that crap) but when we did, it was like when drunken family members got into it at picnics back in the day.

**arr&bee** · 07-20-2019, 06:09 PM
