This coworker who knows mainly ALL the phenomenal black artists of the 60s 70s 80s....he didn't know him either. I was like wow. I didn't either. I know this song as Jennifer Holliday doing it. I decided to listen to the writer himself sing it. And I'm wowed.
MAN!! My soul is hurt. D.J. was off the grid, one of the greatest voices the world will ever know! I just found out. Marvin, Stevie, Donny and D.J. !!! Rest well.
When I was a kid I would visit my Aunt and her kids, My Aunt would sing this song with ever fiber in her being. I just absolutely love this song. Rest Well DJ.
Mr. D.J. Rogers, Was One Of The Greatest That Ever Lived!!! The Wilson Brothers (Gap Band) Backed Him Up, When He Was On Soul Train!!! When You Hear Charlie Wilson, You Hear A Lot Of, Mr. Rogers!!!
I am DEFINITELY an old skool music fan. As a matter of fact that’s all I listen to. I actually have no other choice but to be, I’m a 60’s baby. But one thing for sure, two things for certain. I did not know that Jamison Ross redid this song
I was too young to feel this kind of love back then but he sang this song so deep that I wanted to feel it, 🤭🥰 yes we need an Unsung, 😞 to hear he transitioned.
D.J. Rogers - "Say You Love Me" LIVE [Verse 1] Say you love Say I'm the one your eyes see Tell me you need me, need me Deep down inside, like I need you You see, I need you to see me through I wanna hear you say "Darling, darling, darling, darling, I love you" Through the rain and through the cold Together we will never grow old Sometime the going will get a little tough And I must admit, living with me can be rough But I need you to see me through I get off when you say "Baby, baby, baby, baby, I love you" [Chorus] So say (say) Say (say) You love me (you love me) Would you say... (say) Say, say (say) You love me (you love me) [Verse 2] Let me be, mm, let me be your man Together I believe we could stand Let me take your tremblin' hand Somewhere in God's country We'll settle on a piece of land I need you to see me through I just shake when you say, oh, "I love you" [Chorus] Keep on sayin' (say) Say, oh... (say) You love me (you love me) Say you love me, mm... Say (say) say, say Say... (say) You love me (you love me) (Say, say you love me) Let me say this again [Verse 2] Let me be, I wanna be your man Together, together, together we can stand Oh, let me take you by the hand Somewhere in God's country We'll settle on a piece of land Because I need you to see me through I wanna hear you say "Darling, darling, I love you" [Chorus] Keep on sayin' (say) Say, oh... (say) Oh, you love me (you love me) Oh, say you love me... Could you say (say) Say, say, say... (say, say) You love me (you love me) Say you love me, say you love me Say, say, say... (say, say) Say you love me, say you love me, say you love me Say, say... (say, say you love me) Say you love me, say you love me, say you love me [Chorus/outro] I'll stand by your side (say) Promise to be your guide (say) If you say you love me (you love me) Say you love me, say you love me, say you love me... Oh, say...! (say) Keep on sayin' (say) You love me (you love me) Say you love me, say you love me, say you love me...
Wow, this is just incredible, what a fabulous group of musicians and lord how that man can sing...thank you so much for posting this, so great to see what a wonderful live performer he was.
He was amazingly talented he put his heart and soul into every rehearsal and every performance! He gave me my first paying gig💞 I sang the background vocals on "Say you love me" Album . I was just 16 years old. I met him later and didn't realize that we had met years before. He knew my big brother first, but this I found out years and years later. When it came his music it had to be right! He was very respectful to me and always kind. He will be missed, However at John 5:28 Jesus said: The hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will here his voice and come out ! there going to be a resurrection!!! So all of his loved ones and friends have the opportunity to see him again!!!!! What a wonderful day that will soon be when Luke the heavens the earth 🌎will be made new !!!!🏞️💖
Dj and my uncle George Conedy played together, WCC!! They would have sessions at our house in Inglewood. Our families go back to the 50s!! Rip Dj, Rudy, George, and my Mom...🙏🏽
This Cat here still got it & he still Fine! I hadn't heard this song In. Yrs and wen I came across it on tic tok I went straight to utube & been playing it every since!❤❤))❤)❤
I’ve heard SOooO many people do that vocal the “Saaay-ee-aay-ee-ay”…And I wondered where it ORIGINATED! From Big Sean to Blackstreet “Let’s Stay In Love” -and to see it here! I’m just ✨🫨✨ This man was a GENIUS!
I got introduced to D. J. Rogers when I watched the live DVD of Leon Russell "Best of the Leon Russell festivals". Leon Russell got him on the stage and let him sing in his "A song for you". He (D. J.) was nearly bursting out on stage. Some time later I heard one of D. J. Rogers' albums, "Love, music and life" from 1977, and it touched me. Since then I heard five albums of D. J. from the 70s. Good stuff! Why is he hardly known? Can someone explain this mystery to me? Thank you. 🙋♂️Ronny
