...fond memories of the entire group of us friends
all dancing to this song....

makes me smile

not the best quality, but the closest to the live version i have on cassette
(with no cassette player) that a friend sent to me years ago.

:hangloose:

still trying to deconstruct why the windows phone chose this as the launch commercial music
i know i'm missing something - maybe after a few more listens i'll get it

Saw this guy back in July
 

From "The Big C":
 

I see your dancing, laughing, naked
sweet and pretty face
and the promise burning brightly
in your crystal-shot eyes
your savage, and violent flesh,
the cut that bleeds, the kiss that stings
we're shooting up stars and desperate snows
that fall from shimmering skies, so

Take my hand and lead me
to the garden of delight
take my hand and lead me
to the garden of delight

Revelation is laid, and reflects
on the windswept liquid mirror
of this breathless whirl, this happy death
this elegance and charm
the treasured and precious first fleeting
touch of a gracious stranger
enchant me and entrance me
I know you can do me no harm, so

Take my hand and lead me
to the garden of delight
take my hand and lead me
to the garden of delight

We're playing with fire, dancing in the flames
and we're covered in burns that may never heal
and angels may come, and angels may go
but it's heaven on earth when you

Take my hand and lead me
to the garden of delight
take my hand and lead me
to the garden of delight.

KOWH AM/FM (soul, jazz, gospel)
 

One of my favorite ladies. Turned on to her when this album came out; played this tune on my show...with Loleatta Holloway, Carmen McCrae, Billy Paul, etc. The black audience (as it was called then) was my favorite. The black community loved the music and they were always appreciative. Here's remembering Michael (program Director, AM) Richard, Program Director, FM, German Womack, jock, Irving, jock, Jimmy, jock, Elva, jock. Richard and I were the only whites on staff. On my birthday, the staff recorded Happy Birthday in place of a commercial. It went out over the air and within an hour, people in the black community sent tons of food. Those years were some of the best times of my life....back in the day.
