Unsung Documentary - The Sylvers

From YouTube
Does anyone remember the Sylvers? I do! The Sylvers were a popular family group in the 1970's. I remember their hit songs, High School Dance and Boogie Fever. The group sounded a lot like the Jackson Five. They picked up where the Jacksons left off. The Sylvers were from Memphis, Tennessee. I remember the Sylvers when I was a little girl, and I do not think they lasted as long as the Jackson's did. Their music was great.  The Sylvers were a very talented group and I think radio stations that play oldies should
 remember to play their songs.

Whitney Houston Sings Yes Jesus Loves Me

One night after Whitney's death, I went to sleep with her on my mind. I kept seeing her in my dreams. I heard her voice saying, "Don't let anyone trouble you. Go on and lift the Savior up though they are not impressed. Keep on thanking Jesus." The message is a true message. That's why I have posted this video of Whitney Houston from GodTube. She is singing Yes Jesus Loves Me.

We only know and see what television tells us about Whitney's death, but we don't know all of the reasons why and how Whitney was on drugs. There may have been a number of things going on in Whitney's life that we do not know or see. There is one thing that I know. God sees everything, and God knows everything. He is the Judge. Yes, Whitney was on drugs, but that does not make her a bad person. It can happen to any of us. It can happen just by taking medication for sickness. Life is hard sometimes and there are things in this life that we might not be able to bare. Never look down on anyone. For those of us that have never used drugs, we should pray that we are strong enough to stay away from drugs. We should pray for others because Satan is nobody's friend. He is all about evil and will reward you nothing but evil. He doesn't want any of us to look better than him. It does not matter if you work for him. God is not the enemy. Sometimes he just takes us away from the evil to save us.

Candi Staton - Young Hearts Run Free

From YouTube
It was a million times in the past that I heard this song by Candi Staton. It was titled, Young Hearts Run Free. It was a disco hit in 1976. I heard the tune and the melody forever, but I never understood the words. In 1976 I was probably about 5 or 6 years old. I loved the song when I heard it, and was very quiet whenever it came on the radio. Yet, I could not sing a single word because the words were not clear to me. As I grew older, the words became clearer to my ears. I would write down the words the best that I could and sing the song with the record. Today, I found out that all of the words I thought I was hearing was right. The words are exactly the way I have always felt.







What's the sense in sharing, this one and only life
Ending up, just another lost and lonely wife
You count up the years, and they will be filled with tears.
Love only breaks up, to start over again
You'll get the babies, but you won't have your man
While he is busy loving, every woman that he can.
Say I'm gonna leave a hundred times a day
It's easier said than done
When you just can't break away ("When you just can't break away")

CHORUS

Ohhhhh
Young hearts, run free
Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me ("my man and me")
Oooooh
Young hearts, to yourself be true
Don't be no fool when
Love really don't love you ("don't love you")

It's high time now just one crack at life
Who wants to live in, trouble and strife
My mind must be free, to learn all I can about me.
I'm gonna love me, for the rest of my days
Encourage the babies every time they say
Self preservation is what's really going on today.
Say Im gonna turn loose a thousand times a day
How can I turn loose
When I just can't break away? ("When I just can't break away")

CHORUS

John Cougar-Jack and Diane

From YouTube
Back in the 80's, Jack and Diane was a pretty popular song. I remember the song from The Young and the Restless. There was a character named Jack and a character named Diane on that soap opra. Jack was a married man cheating on his wife. He was with Diane. That's when they played John Cougar's song. I never will forget it. It was MTV that showed the video of the song. I thought it was a cool video and song. I loved the beat and tune.

Donna Summer - Thank God It's Friday




Donna Summer plays as Nikole Simms in a movie. I never saw this movie. The name of the movie is, "Thank God It's Friday". It's a great movie for disco music of the 70's. When Donna Summer takes over the mic at the club, that is my favorite part of the movie, although I haven't seen the rest of the movie yet. Donna Summer is a great actress, and I love it when she acts like a nerd and breaks out so so bad singing her hit, "Let's Dance".

Commodores_Still

When I was growing up, hearing this song sounded kind of sad to me. However, it was beautiful to me at the same time.When Lionel sung, "I do love you, still", it was complicated for me to sing. I would try to sing the chorus of those words, but the words were sung to deep for me.

Today when I hear the song, the words are very touching. The song has plenty of meaning. The song brings back old memories. It is a song that is always new to me. I never get tired of hearing it. I wish songs like this one were written today.
