Not just "JBC"...but more so the great "JBC FM", and in all fairness..RJR's "FAME FM". Afterall, the competition between the Stations and the Disc Jocks were intense...😊 It was no secret though, that at 9am each morning, was when the real firepower would start. When you hear the words, "This is JBC FM Stereo"... It was time for ALL-OUT war, with the selection of real quality music..😊 It was time, for "FLOAT-ON". Wonderful memories indeed. Beautiful memories, that will definitely warm our hearts for many years to come. Blessed love to you guys. Y'all stay safe...wherever you are...😊☺
@@trishtaleta573 Really ? Those were wonderful years indeed..which have left an indelible mark on my life.. You look pretty young though Trish...which gives way to the probability that you being a toddler in pampers during those amazing years..😊
Let me second and third and forth what everybody else have already said:This is the best version ever.The heart and soul put into this song by the singer makes it soulful.
Every Sunday in my neighbourhood while growing up, I always heard this song in particular echoing on huge speaker sets staked high on each other. This version is truly the best by far. Thelma here has a nice voice range and melody.
Going through a 19 year break we separated September of last year and trust I don’t know when I will heal again. Nobody needs to give there heart to people 😭😭😭🙏💔💔
Yes home Jamaica 🇯🇲, when do you really know when to leave , especially when you are still in love , how can you say goodbye, do we leave when it’s clear or when we sense that the love is leaving , just not to be hurt . Truth is we hurt anyway we take it .
This brings "forward" not "back" soooooo many wonderful and powerrful memories ... it occurred at the most innocent time in my life ... Nuff "RAS"peck for posting!
I say this every time , the crime in Jamaica 🇯🇲 and the cost of living why ppl leave , and no doubt those are big issues , otherwise Jamaica is the best place on earth to live , the ppl friendly and full of love ❤️, and with music like this play on the radios and the DJ’s they are the best ever 😢😢😢I miss home bad bad oh boy “it’s best to leave while I’m in love with you baby”
Donna Allen This comment does something to my soul as I have been feeling a bit homesick lately. Scrolling through YT and saw this song and it brought back a flood of wonderful Jamaican memories. Happy memories. Good memories. I miss the old Jamaica 🇯🇲 where women and children were protected and you could walk late at nights without fear.
@@msymister6776 guess what I’m back listening to this song , I hope you are doing and feeling well , it’s almost Christmas and I should be listening to carols but man this song reaches so deep I have to close my eyes and hold on to my heart or else it would explode, this song reaches too deep and brought back so much memories both good and bad
@@donaalen9600 Hahaha...bcz of your comment I spent a good 20 mins with this song on repeat and a trip down memory lane..it was worth it though. Thank God that we are both still here after what we went through a year ago. Much blessings to you and family for the Christmas holidays and continuous health and prosperity for 2022❤️
@@msymister6776 yea thank goodness we made is , it’s not over yet , but still there are lots to be grateful for . Merry Christmas to you too and your family, wishing that 2022 will be a year of harvest for us
I love this song its just expresses what u really want to say from the heart and we all as men know how we can get ourselves in some situation which we have to give up before it get worst
Nice singer. Thanks for posting. I'll have to look up more of her work. I still much prefer Rita Coolidge's more heartfelt, reflective, and melancholy performance, but I can totally hear Thelma doing some great songs. Thanks for introducing me to her work. It's made me want to hear more.
I love Rita Coolidges version as well. The hardest thing you'll ever have to do is to leave while in love. It's not easy hopefully the reason is worth it.
Some people are saying Thelma's version didn't make the cut. Really!! I don't know the listenership for the US, but I can tell you, where I am from,Thelma's version is the only version I used to hear, and the radio station used to play it a lot. The point is, when people make such statement they must be objective. The fact that Thelma's version may not have gained much listnership in most parts of the State(I am saying this based on what some people had said, I don't know the facts) may have to do with demographics. Many white people may not like her version, but almost all black people will because it is soulful.
Gary Daley..I would never force anyone to like what I like but the passion and soul that was put into this song by Ms Thelma make me take stock. Amazing. I only listen to her version that's it!
Thelma's soulful rendition make this the best. All the others are dead..they need some souls. Big the singers who put some soul into singing example Tina Maria.. Michael bolten & others who cross the souls line & not afraid to sing with some souls. Some ppl are just too pale or prejudice
jacqulinne poulard still listening July 202 and each time it just as sweet 🥰and each time the same memories come back , but most importantly I would like to recapture this same memories but it won’t happen , too much has changed and some love ones passed on , like my grandmother whose radio I use to just blastI miss her the most 😥😥
This is fabulous ! First heard it when studying in Australia and although the Rita Coolidge arrangement is great no one else can beat this vocal. Of course Peter Allen wrote and sang this song as well.
i keep coming back to this...it's a gutsy, lived-in vocal that I enjoy... but there's only one Dusty Springfield. And "Soul" doesnt necessarily mean riffs and runs and belting all over the place. No one tops Dusty for pure emotion...
Who ever had said that Rita Coolrige version is better, it's fine to have your opinion, but personally, I have never heard Rita' s version on radio. I have heard Thelma's version so often, I never knew there is an original singer. I thought Thelma was.
Thelma jones version is the best version of this song, listening from Jamaica
I love this song It brings back memories ofJamaica and jBC FM more music less talk
So so true
Not just "JBC"...but more so the great "JBC FM", and in all fairness..RJR's "FAME FM".

Dream this morning, I was singing this song, along with Jimmy Ruffin's what becomes of a broken heart. So I just had to look it up and sing along.
I love this song & she sings it with so much soul. Thelma did an amazing job with this one.
Virginia Grandy
In time like this when can't go no where. Just grab some red wine sit in a quiet place throw your head back and listening to this song.
When a cover is way better than the original
Another Jamaican saying this is the version, i checked all the others, as MC hammer would say, "Can't Touch This"
memories dont leave like people do
+Moy Loy so true

I really, really love this song
They don't make music like these no more❤
most folks will agree that compared to the original by Peter Allen.......this song is head nd shoulder above the others.
Good but Rita is number 1. Thelma is too fast.
I love all three in there own different rights. Rita’s being first, and Thelma’s an almost tie second.
@@claudiocorleone7856 Well I do understand you can't deal with it on the dance floor.
Took songs like these for granted back in my youth ,played the hell out of them! CLASSIC 🔥
These songs are lodged into your subconscious like it were a bank account. I agree Boss pull it out with Interest Accrued
I love this song its just expresses what u really want to say from the heart and we all as men know how we can get ourselves in some situation which we have to give up before it get worst
Any time I here this song i want to fuck
Not only men but us women too 💯. I like your comment.

I LOVE Thelma’s cover, but still also love Rita Coolidge’s version. I don’t want to give either up. ❤️❤️❤️
And Carol Bayer Sager
wow !she say it like it is

Soul stands predominate, Sang that tune Thelma.
Always loved this song!
what 4 empty heads disliked this great soul from an original empress?damn
Classic! Thanks for posting!
best way to leave, you can always try to pick up the pieces and restart, its generally better the second time around.

I love her version deep

Best rendition of this song. Can’t find on iTunes 😞
I missed you po..love here from philippines
Best version ever
My#1
This song this version this vocal this singer is so fucking bad ! Is so fucking sweet ! It blows my mind 💞
i keep coming back to this...it's a gutsy, lived-in vocal that I enjoy...
but there's only one Dusty Springfield. And "Soul" doesnt necessarily mean riffs and runs and belting all over the place.
No one tops Dusty for pure emotion...
Soulful!
love this song
magnificant
Who ever had said that Rita Coolrige version is better, it's fine to have your opinion, but personally, I have never heard Rita' s version on radio. I have heard Thelma's version so often, I never knew there is an original singer. I thought Thelma was.
Gary Daley ,I've heard Rita coolrege ' on numerous occasions and it is pop and thelma 's version is soul. my pick is thelma''s
I prefer Rita's
A classic never gets old, what a chune bad ....
One of my favorite songs
So true Thelma so many times the rose die on the vine somebody's heart get broken usually it us female
Classic
I left my husband after 14 years marriage he never loved me Lennox only for the money, 😭💔
Beautiful.
Just fab and tho i agree on Rita C i adore Dusty!!!:00
Sing that song girl.... You are singing to me!
Iove this song so much
