O. V. Wright - "When You Took Your Love From Me"

I have been an O.V. Wright fan for a good while and play his CDs from start to finish, especially when I'm travelling.  In "When You Took Your Love From Me," O.V. wants his woman to know how devastated he has been since she left him.  Would you take the wings from a bird and you know he can't fly - wow.  My favorite line is that I'm a prisoner of your love but I don't want you to set me free.  I've been playing this record over and over because I love it more and more each time I hear it.

Would you take the wings from a bird 
Knowing he can't fly
Would you take the bottle from a little bitty baby 
And you know he's gonna cry
Would you take the fish out of the water knowing
Knowing the little fella's gonna die
Would you take a cane from a blind man 
And you know he ain’t got no eyes 
Oh baby can you see, oh my darling 
That's what happened one day when you took your love from me

I’ve been loving you too long baby
You’ve almost become a part of me
Here’s another thing
I’m a prisoner of your love baby
But it’s a funny thing
I don’t want you to set me free
Would you take the sail from the ship
And you know it ain’t gonna move
Would you take all the pieces from a melody
And just let it lose its groove
Oh baby can’t you see, oh my darling that’s what happened
When you took your love away from me

One day you took your love from me
I lost the will to live
The day you took your love from me
You knocked me down on my knees
I've been loving you too long baby and you've almost
become a part of me...

Archie Love - "Shoulda Been There For You"

Such a pretty love song.  This guy realizes that he should have been home for his woman, especially when she needed a hug or should have been loving her just because.  So many regrets...
Enjoy!

Patrick Henry - "Played, Cheated, Lied"

You have to admire the man who admits that he's done wrong.  He let his ego take over and says that he should have put his pride aside. So he's begging for forgiveness and says he's sorry for what he put her through.  How can you turn down a begging man who tells you over and over that he's sorry?  Patrick, I would take you back!!!

If you close your eyes and listen to Floyd Taylor sing, you can imagine it's his father's voice you're hearing.  Floyd certainly has a gift.

So beautiful!

Theodis Ealey featuring Lacee - "You and I, Together"

What a beautiful song!!!  I wish this was played on R&B stations so others could hear what we hear. Theodis Ealey is an extremely talented and versatile musician and I just don't think we've seen his full potential yet.  Lacee 's voice blends in well with his and they've done a great job with this duet.
Enjoy!!

Willie Clayton - "Make It Good"

Willie Clayton can sing a ballad!  This is the type of song you put on at night when there's no one home but you and your man.  Oh yes!

You say you left your man cause he didn’t show love and affection
And you even considered going in another direction
But if satisfaction is what you’re looking for
You can stop right here, I’ve got all that and so much more
I’ve got a heart full of love - love, kisses and thrills
I’ll caress your body baby until you break out in cold chills

Chorus
I’ll make it good, good, good to you
If you let me
If you let me love you baby
I’ll make it good, good, good to you
If you let me, let me love you baby

If you need somebody to spend a little time with
I’m not the kind of guy that wanna hit it and quit it
Girl I’m right here and I’m putting my bid in for the job
You find out that good love, oh it ain’t that hard
I’ve got a pocket full of love - love, kisses and thrills
I’ll caress your body baby till you break out in cold chills

Chorus

8 o’clock, I’ll come calling
9 o’clock,  I’ll start crawling
Between 11 and 12, I’ll whisper sweet things in your ear
Ain’t no telling what I might do to you my dear

Chorus

Enjoy!

Vick Allen - "Since You've Been Gone"

Have you ever been in a relationship that just wasn't good for you? Vick says that since his girlfriend's been gone, he doesn't have to take blood pressure medicine anymore and he doesn't have headaches either.  This girl was making him sick!!  He says that there's no more drama in his life and he's as happy as can be.  That's when you know you've done the right thing.


You know, I ran into my ex-girlfriend the other day
And she said Vick, you look good
You look so happy
What’s going on here
And this is what I told her

Since you’ve been gone
I feel so much better now
All my stress has gone away
Since you’ve been gone
I can laugh I can smile because my life is drama free
I’m as happy as I can be
Since you’ve been gone

When we were together
I spoiled you real good with the wine and dine
Stopped hanging out with the fellas
And gave you quality time
But all you ever did in return
Was raise hell and complain
Made me feel like I wasn’t good enough for you
And caused me so much pain

Chorus

Now I must admit at first being without you
Was kind of hard to bear
Cause I was confused and I didn’t want to lose
Someone I thought really cared
But ever since you went away I can truly say
That my life is so much sweeter
Than it was on yesterday

Chorus

My life is so much sweeter than it was on yesterday!

Mel Waiters - "Running Stop Signs"

I LOVE Mel Waiters!!!  This is a beautiful ballad and Mel sings this so well, makes you want to melt! This man will do anything to see his girl, even if if means running stop lights and stop signs.  He's an awesome performer and this is a very pretty love song.

Listen to the chorus:
I can’t wait to see you
Running stop lights and stop signs too
I’m breaking rules, that’s what I’ll do
To be close to you
I can’t wait to see you
Running stop lights and stop signs too
Something in my drink, something in my food
That makes me crave for you

Ignore this cover but love the song!
Enjoy!!

Tucka - "Candy Land"

Tucka is a relatively new artist who has a unique, smooth sound.  I hear his music mostly down towards the Gulf but I think it's just a matter of time before he's known all over.  Plus, if you listen to him, this guy can sing!  Candy Land has a pretty melody and I think you'll like it. Here's a site that has a little information about him:   http://www.soulbluesmusic.com/tucka.htm.  

Take my hand girl come go with me!  Candy Land!

Frank Mendenhall - "Gone On Away From Here"

Oh Frank, I wish I had the chance to know you.  This is a sad song but the melody and lyrics are so beautiful.  He was working two jobs but old man trouble came knocking on his door and then misery and pain moved in.  He has to leave before he loses his mind.  Even though his back is against the wall, he's not going out like that...even though time is winding down.
Got no money in my pocket, got no woman on my arm
and bad luck follows me everywhere I go!
