My friend Michael Rorke met a girl he fell in love with who was still a virgin and would always come to me for advice on how to get some honey 🍯 and I told him to be patient but not give up and promised me to marry her when she did give him some.he eventually got some honey married her raised a family 👪 and this song came out just when she gave in to him and it was a song we listened to throughout the years till they were both taken from me in a tragic accident.3 months before they passed away I visited him and he reminded me of how they would fight when they first met but had grown so close over the years and his prayer to God was that God take both of them together as she didn't know her father or have a family and he couldn't think of him leaving her behind all alone and God answered his prayer.i miss u my friend but one day I will be with u all again.Barry Dunn..South Africa.

A Chicago classic. I remember when this came out back when living in Chicago was the most amazing thing in the world. I lived in Roseland then. It was like paradise. Back when you knew everybody on your neighborhood and everybody had each other’s back. When sitting on the porch was the coolest thing you could do and kids respected their elders. Damn, what a time.

Man my older brother used to play this song all the time . well i was struggling with my addiction to drugs and alcohol . and i was looking and feeling horrible and my brother played this song and i just started crying like a baby . God was cleaning my spirit threw this song . i begged God to please take away my terrible addiction away from me . and he did today i have 46 days clean and sober . thank you Jesus' for your love and mercy and grace ! I continue to listen to this song for strength and inspiration when i need it . God is amazing and wee gee was definitely one of his Angel's to pass the message in this amazing song of love and hope .

@thomasmitchell1408 5 лет назад

Angel I struggled for many years myself doing drugs on the streets of Chicago. I'm ok now but the fight goes on. We will have to deal with this for the rest of our lives because addiction is not curable, we are just in remission. The devil wants our souls back because we served him well when we were on drugs, lying,stealing, and cheating. We got to keep God in our life because this is a spiritual battle for our souls.

Now this is the song that children need to hear today. I sang this at my 8th grade graduation. This song is a testament of having FAITH in your dreams and not getting sidetracked by people who do not BELIEVE in your vision. It is a challenge to work hard and even though some people are going through alot now...all you need is FAITH and you have to keep going. Don't give up and believe in love. Dreams are the sunshine of the mind. You can fly anytime you like. Kids need inspirational songs!

Oh Lordy Lord! In Living Memory Of My Father. He used to rock this song in his vintage Chevrolet Commando car in a cassette when I was in a diaper I think. "Love Is truly Stronger Than Hate, All You Need Is A Faith In Your Dream".... Children Of Today Don't Know what We Are Talking About! All They Know Is Play Stations And Electro House Music etc..... "Children Hold On To Your Dreams."

I was in a gang. Born in Chicago but raised in Waukegan. I did a lot of time so I know people from all over the the state. I know that when they put leadership in Super Max prisons, Structure left and now you have CHi RAC, sinceless crimes against our own kind. Sure there was always gangbanging since the 70's in Chicago, but the lack of Structure made the next generation worse and the Principalities of this world knew it. Remain Blessed!

I'm in my final year in university and to say life has been hard (financially and otherwise) would be a spectacular understatement, I am struggling; but I'm also pushing on. I find myself here quite a lot, but I think that's because I need the motivation. I promised myself at the beginning of the year that no matter how difficult it may be, I'll hunker down and finish this year strong. I'm well on my way to fulfilling that promise now that I'm left with one more class before the end of my academic calendar. This has been one of the songs that kept me going; one day when life is better, I'll play it once more to remind myself of how far I've come. Until that day comes, we live in the hope that things will get better... and that in the end we will persevere.
