Class of 86 Oxon Hill high y’all know summer time rapping to your sweet heart on the phone listening to this joint with Melvin Lindsey slow jams best of times 😢
I am sitting here listening to Scott Jarrett's LP now ... I lived in DC for 13 years, beginning in the early 2000s. Best time of my life. I bought this album after hearing this song on the Quiet Storm all the time, especially on the Sunday broadcast. A true gem that still makes me emotional.
Yes indeed I thought it was Kermit too this is my song still today amazing beautiful song me shadow dancing in the house 26 years ago now 61 still dancing it’s amazing what good music will do good for the soul❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So many memories of this song, DC Melvin Linsey, WHUR Quiet Storm & “Melvin’s Melodies” when he moved to WKYS. My play brother loved this song, I think of him like yesterday when I hear this. We just loved this song and waited to hear it every night. RIP 🙏🏾
I remember when the Quiet Storm first started. It was only on Sunday nights at first. Then it moved to nightly. I loved the Quiet Storm so much that when I left for college in August of 1980 I made a Quiet Storm tape to take with me to Columbia SC. The tape was so popular that other friends would ask to take it with them on their date. The tape was stolen and I thought it was lost forever until my roommate went on a date and wouldn't you know it the dude tried to wooing her with my Quiet Storm tape. She told him that is Vicki's tape. By the end of the 2nd song she knew because we listened to it nightly to fall asleep. She grabbed it when she left the date and brought it back to us. I don't know what happened to it after that. But I remember several song from the tape and Image of you was one of the great songs. I also remember when Melvin Lindsey died. He was a DC treasure and there will never be any Quiet Storm DJ like Melvin!!!!
@@Jamarkus- Wow, I didn’t intend for this to go public. 😂 Oh, well! I finished this yesterday, and I’m using it for a live performance this evening. Far from perfect, but I had to get it done in a hurry.
Great Sound, that's what great about youtube and the internet. We can live in any era of music and still be current. These sounds are timeless and easily understandably why. Thank You for posting.
This station was my very favorite back in 1981, when I visited my relatives in the D.C. area. Feels so good to hear that sound again. Thanks for uploading and greetings from Germany!
In this song they were ACTUALLY PLAYING and FOCUSING Instead of just talking❤ Never heard them play the songs as close as the RECORDING as this one today NOT BAD😊
This brings me home now. It will always be a part of those who remember growing up here. Melvin Lindsey always had a great line up on The Quiet Storm. Scott wrote such a lovely piece. Scott has more lovely music out also. His Aperçu CD is beautiful. Scott is a poet. His lyrics and melodies are so beautifully intertwined.
As much as I like goapele face i never really listened to her music the only song i heard was closer besides that she’s fine as hell but I never listened to this before it’s aight it feels like some early 2010 to mid 2010 song I listened to felt like it dropped 2009
I remember old RU-vid especially the old RU-vid layout when I was playing on my sisters computer and you used to get direct messages personal messages and you didn’t get ads on your vid too @@Odawg96
Made Chocolate City my home in 1978, relocating from San Francisco, and lived there 40 years. Melvin's powerful music was everywhere. In the summer one could walk down the street after 8 pm, (I lived in Shaw), and hear his program coming/blasting out of many homes all over DC. Great memories of Chocolate City and it is sad that those times are no more.
Discovered this song while doing research on Melvin Lindsey. I was not born during this time, so I am not familiar with much of the music played on WHUR, but this is a classic. I check in yearly to give it a spin. Thanks for uploading and keeping the time capsule alive and open.
Listening to this right now on WHUR 96.3 - Washington, DC 10/8/2023. Still sounds amazing! I had to come to RU-vid to hear again. Thanks for the upload!!
Aww man. As a native Washiingtonian, you couldn't pay me to go back and live anywhere else but here back in the 70s and 80s. As far as DC radio, WHUR 96.3's THE ORIGINAL Quiet Storm was appointment listening. Kicking back with your tape deck on pause/record--the original bootlegging😂, capturing those tunes and thinking about that girl in science class you had a crush on. Man I miss them days.
This brings back great memories....My stepfather--whom I had the pleasure to LOVE him as Pop----gave me this cassette tape along with a small recorder for a Xmas present in--1977---I was -15--now I'm--61--- he passed away in--2003.....Newark New Jersey....I LOVE AND MISS THOSE DAYS
