i loved this song before i had my own children . love it still . first heard when i was 17 back in 1992 and purchaced rebirth of cool cd . much love and respect . so sorry to hear he died much love ❤
I think this was one of the most underated tunes of the 90's, banging beat with a positive message, and I remember beating this out on my technics system back in the early ninetees when systems still had turn tables ha ha, all in all thugh a truly great tune. Gotta go as i need to play it again. Respects to the 'badboysoul, as though I knew the song verbatum, couldn't remember the artists name, check him out some good grooves on ther. PEACE.........
This record was bought for me by my then girlfriend when I was 15-16 in 92-93. I've been looking for this for years. Thank you ...as. you've taken me about 28yrs.
Bless you Noel and the legacy you left behind . It was lovely to meet you in person on so many occasions and I treasure the fact that you always showed so much warmth and had time for everyone regardless of rank in the music industry . RIP King and continue to sing up in Heaven, I'll continue to play your music , promise . 💔❤xx
Uk's own Soul family McKoy on fire, track written by the main man in the family unit Noel McKoy, this '12' was released in 1991 & was well recieved from their 1993 album Full Circle
Ahh the london 90's vibe. Co produced by the Twilight Firm and recorded at their old studio in north london. It says mixed by Twilight Firm on the record, but really it was a co-production. Still sounding fresh.
This is a TUNNNNEEEEE. A true Classic with highly relevant lyrics. I met Noel when I was promoting my original version of "Dreams" sung by Gabrielle in 1991 on my Victim rrecord label. Checkout badboy-soul on the WEB for the original "Dreams" lick. Nuff Nuff Respect Noel!!!...I hope to see you again soon to do soething my man. You are a true talent!!!
time ago when i was young by bro had this song on tape. it was the intrumentel version of this track it had a saxaphone instead of vocals. i used to listen to that track everyday. if anyone knows how or where i could get hold of that version i would be forever gratful... its unlikely but worth asking anyway.
Family lyrics 🙏🏿 FAMILY🤴🏿 (N.McKoy) Verse one You, he’s watching you oooh Wonder what you’re doing in front of him now, oh yeah. Very soon, he’ll be copying you oh Following the father figure, oh yeah. Bridge I love my kids my family I’m not looking for no easy apology See I know that I’m to blame The wife and the kids not seeing to reasoning See I’ve been caught deceiving And things will never be the same Chorus Families need their fathers A mother needs a shoulder To cry on when she’s over everyday And what about the children are they gonna suffer? While your just playing over That families don’t need their fathers, everyday. Verse two Just a while Yes I’ll wait a while And hope and pray for change Hope and pray. It won’t be long They’ll be here soon But when their gone I’m all alone Alone again Bridge I love my kids my family I’m not looking for no easy apology You see I know that I’m to blame The wife and the kids not seeing to reasoning See I’ve been caught deceiving And things will never be the same Chorus Families need their fathers A mother needs a shoulder To cry on when she’s over everyday And what about the children are they gonna suffer? While your just playing over That families don’t need their fathers, everyday. Middle 8 I found out yesterday That I can come back home to stay Now I can chill a while cos right now home is the place I wanna be. Looking ahead and inside of me I must thank myself lucky I’m homebound once again Chorus X2 Oh family (family family) You know you need your family everyday Oh family (family family) You know you need your family yes you do - oooooh oooh oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh oooh ooooh oooh oooh (ad lib)
