This has got to be one of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard, when I first heard this, I cried my eyes out. It’s a great song, so much feeling and emotion 😢
Dedicated to my husband Anthony we were one something died when went rest well my love you were the true one the beginning to my end. I think of you every day.
This song is beautiful but sad at the same time it just go to show you that we’re here for a short period of time and never stay mad or angry at the people you love and always say I love you to your spouse and your Children because they may never be a tomorrow and never take life for granted. God Bless
WhiteboySlim 2020 man im hurting right now this past Thanksgiving celebrated with some friends, one of those friends just passed away a few days ago. We gotta stop being petty because Life is Too Short....
My mother passed away in 76 and when she died, my father played this song and “Just to be close” by the Commodores... I was only 10 at the time so I never knew what these songs meant until I got older... I grew up on these songs. They are all drilled in my head... The O’Jays, The Delfonics, The Spinners, The Dells, all of them I know by heart. But don’t ask me who sings or wrote these new R&B songs. I don’t have a clue. I’m only 54 so I should know but I don’t ... Lol
Chevyhawk*THAT IS TRUE.I played bass guitar with the group called the soul king lead singer Al johnson in the 70s. Al was definitely a great muscian. I learned a lot from him. I attended his Wake in South east washington DC. RIP AL....DAVE the Bass guitar 🎸
I thought of this song .even before my mom passed .cause I always thought the hardest part would be the heartz.... car.But Jesus was my strength on the day of her funeral& everyday..when I'm weak.that's when he's strong..cherish everyday.the sunshine & simple things in life& thank God for everyday he gives....forgive&ask for forgiveness.and last try to control the tongue.even in anger because those words may be the last ones they hear....and the ones you can never take back
Those Unifics were one helluva group. Back in 1969 , mom would treat us to what use to be the Uptown theatre here in Philadelphia, not far from our house. They’d turn off all the lights and turn on the stage lighting effects, and they’d be doing those fancy dance steps. Damn, I miss those days growing up!!
I GREW UP 2 BLOCKS FROM THE UPTOWN THEATER ON PARK AVENUE I REMEMBER MY GRANDFATHER TAKING ME THERE BACK IN THE 60'S.OH HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED BUT STAYED THE SAME
@@larrychamberlain8155 I grew up on the 2200 block of N. 16th Street. Loved going to the Uptown with a dear friend; this was in the 60's. She and I remain friends today. I/we enjoyed the shows there. This is when people knew how to act!!
D.C. finest ,one of a few groups from the East Coast that sung such beautiful music, coming up I was kickin' with this girl who passed away, she die of complications of a desease,really hurt my heart ,I play this song every holiday & special occasions
I was a 14 when I heard this song on WHUR 96.3Fm Howard University's Orginal Quiet Storm. It's 2021, I'm watching this through my cellphone and I'm now 52 living in Hawaii. Long way from a young boy from DC to plant roots after traveling the world while serving his country..
I remember this song but it wasn’t given the airtime like other songs of that time ! But now the words hits home! The songs from back in the days had so many meanings that was the truth! Thanks to all that made theses songs Possible for us to Enjoy !
I remember hearing this song years ago when I was young and it brought tears to my eyes then and still does the same to this day. A very sad and emotional song, very powerful and beautiful. The feeling is still the same when you find your brother expired of natural causes unexpectedly the same hurt is there even harder like iI did. I write this comment with a very,very heavy heart!!
Man, I heard this song when it first hit the airways. Many corner singing groups would include it in their repertoire at the Tivoli theater talent show in DC. I'm 66 now and still sing the lyrics word for word. Great song.
I was 11 years old when this came out. After hearing it, I promised that I would never argue to the point of my woman leaving out of the house angry. I've kept my promise.
I heard this song when I was a child in elementary school, for some weird reason, years have gone by and I still remember the lyrics, although I have not heard this song in decades. Glad I found it.
Nope us residents of Baltimore and DC never forgot this local hit from back in 1970 the late Al Johnson of the Unifics sung lead and 4 years later Tony Yarborough of the the Baltimore group First Class re did this song just as good maybe better !
My farther past in 1985 I am still in denial and I keep wishing that one day he will knock on my door but I will never be able to see that he is always here with me and I miss him so much.
oh wow , this song always brings tears to my eyes . I remember when I was a child in elementary school hearingit on the radio wondering at that time if a family was going thru such a painful tragedy.

My Thanks for this from your channel. As always Snowstorm1956. 💞Yes our Era, The great Unifics...
I just got back from Washington DC picking up my neighbor from the hospital. It happened on a Saturday night about 9 30, my neighbor caught up with me while I was driving, and he said that I needed to go home when I got home my son and his girlfriend told me that Mom was gone and I said where did she go, and she had passed, she had MS she was 46 y.o. I didn't have any insurance I had to use my 401k
Yes death is inevitable mean both don't know what time the hour of the day but God do so anybody should just try to get along with each other love the people that live right now because I tomorrow is not promise to anybody
Why do white people out oldies they think that they are sad songs.. Oldies remind me of my parents slow dragging in the corner of the basement.. Except for this song LOL
