The gentle genius, Curtis Mayfield .....

....... ...... ..... .... ..... Little girl again you are blue, Another fellow has gone and left you, I see you've come back to me your best friend, To tell another tragic story again, and once more you look in my eyes, And one more time you ought to realize ....

 

[Tezza]

Jimmy Conwell - Too Much

"I'm like a drowning man in a sea of Misery"

"I'm smoking more but enjoying it less"

"I get a whole lotta sleep but I don't get enough rest"

[Patto]

Was playing a few records last night and noticed a nice few lines on the Dorothy Beery song---Soul power

"Young or old if you got soul nobody can take it"

"But if you aint got it its better to forget it cause nobody can fake it

[Winsford Soul]

I, m walking down this lonely avenue, a picture of your face keeps coming through. Bobby Paris

We used to walk, laugh and talk, solve the problems of the world. Gerri Grainger.

When you feel that need to  make  it all alone, remember no one is thinking of going alone. Just ask the lonely, they know the hurt and pain of losing a love ,you can never regain, just ask the lonely. The young and foolish laugh at love, so they run away confident and sure that fate will bring another love there way. But ask the lonely, how vainly a heart can yearn for losing a love that will never return. Just ask the lonely. They,ll tell you a story of sadness , a story to hard to believe, they,ll tell you the loneliest one is me. Just ask the lonely. Ask me. I,m the loneliest one you,ll see. Just ask the lonely

In my opinion the greatest song ever written by anyone , anywhere, ever

THE TEMPTATIONS - IT’S GROWING

 

 

Like a snowball rolling down the side of a snow covered hill ….its growing

Like the size of the fish that the man claims broke his reel…its growing

Like a rosebud blooming in the warmth of the summer sun….its growing

Like a tale by the time it’s been told by more than one ……its growing

I know you've seen me watching you baby, for quite some time

And it's written all over my face, just what's on my mind

I wanted to ask you for your love in some sweet little way

Oh but every time I see you girl, not a word I can say.

"Just Like Pagliacci did, I'll keep my sadness hid" Smokey Robinson

 

I'm quite fond of this line, too.

 

I've always liked this from Curtis in 'Freddie's Dead':

We're all built up with progress

But sometimes I must confess

We can deal with rockets and dreams

But reality, what does it mean?

Girls I love the things they know, got to be where they go-Girls-The Moments

[Roburt]

When I was involved with the Prestatyn Weekender, I used to spend a great deal of time with the artists. I took Lou Pride & Don Gardner on a trip out to Liverpool one year. Lou was a great joker & would have you laughing all the time (but that's another story) ... Don was more quiet & thoughtful. Back in the 70's, he was Curtis Mayfield's road manager, so went everywhere with Curtis. They would spend many hours together & so he got to learn how Curtis came up with his lyrics.

He told me that just about everytime Curtis wrote, it was a news story that inspired his words. If he couldn't get just what he was after first time, he'd put the words down on paper & file them away. Weeks later he'd return to them to see if new inspiration had hit him & he could achieve the finished product he was after ....  

ANYWAY ... that leads me onto .... the wife's favorite (though it can make her cry if she's felling moody) .... MORE FROM CURTIS .....  TO BE INVISIBLE ...

All the things that hurt your soul, No one would ever know,They'd never know

Life so preciously, Just don't seem to me, As free as they claim freedom to be

Things are going fast, To have found that all is in the past, To have to take what you can get, Sure can make a heart upset

........ So I'll be invisible

For the rest of my days
I'll be by your side
I promise to cherish and love you 
And be your guide baby
I'll be loving you 
Yes I will
I'll be loving you

I remember the time I was all alone
I used to sit and cry
I didn't think I had a friend in the world
Then you came walking by
Your love lifted me up
You eased my troubled mind
That's why I'm gonna stick by you baby
Love you till the end of time baby
I'll be loving you 
Yes I will girl
I'll be loving you 
Ohh ohh

Sometime's I lift my head up to the sky
I count the stars above 
I say ohh what a lucky man I am 
To have someone like you to love
I've been searching for a long long time
But Now I don't have to search no more
Now that I've got you by my side baby
I'll never never never never let you go baby
I'll be loving you
Yes I will girl
I'll be loving you
Ohhh
I'll be loving you
Baby im gonna stick by you
I'll be loving you
I'll never never never let you go
I'll be loving you

 

Perfection!

There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes.

Sam Stone by Swamp Dogg

[Gilly]

A man cant stand by and let a woman do what she want to

You cant stay there and see the kids off to school

You cant stand there and do all the womans work

The next thing you know youll be putting on a skirt

 Little Gregory and the concepts     love it

[Guest closedms]

You don't break no records when it comes to good looks

You might misread a recipe burn up the food when you cook

You get a little moody sometimes and you won't say a word

No one can beat you when you're getting sweeter, say loving words that I never heard.
