As for me ... currently listening to the best tune ever done by Tanya Stephens .... "These Streets!""Jamaica's future reflects its past, having attained only one per cent annual growth over 30 years whilst neighbours have grown at five per cent." (Article) -
Got that CD by Billy Paul.
That song 'let them in' make you see how musicians during that time were visionaries. That song is a classic!!
Billy Paul has another album (don't recall the names ) but with cuts: 'Let the dollar Circulate"... "I was Married"... and other songs. Brilliant!!The only time TRUTH will hurt you...is if you ignore it long enough

That was a classic by Billy Paul. It was nowhere nearly as big a hit as "Me And Mrs. Jones" (VH1 classifies Billy Paul as a one-hit wonder), but I love the recording you mentioned, Gamma. And that laidback disco-type beat is captivating.Originally posted by Gamma View PostComment

what the hell is happening? HL and Gamma agreeing more often than they disagree these days?- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.
