This was definitely a mainstay in the DC, WHUR, Melvin Lindsey days. It makes my heart glad to see all the comments from fellow Washingtonians and people who had the pleasure of being in DC during this era. In fact, I am going to play this song every day for one entire year. If you were there, let me know. I'm gonna be here all year. Day 1, let's go....
Bruh, I don’t teared tf up listening to this song. My gma used to live in S street in N.E & would keep 96.3 on all night. I remember hearing this song so many times as a child. I miss you so grandma !!
This was one of those early 80's, WHUR, riding in the backseat of a old FORD LTD, going down 3rd street tunnel about to get on 295 south type of tunes. So nostalgic. Tony Fountaine "I found the girl" came on right after this. Classic D.C. for sure. ✌🏽🖤
Ok, you were definitely there...you couldn’t tell this 19 yo he wasn’t in command...yup Tony came on next...were young using and getting abused by this thing called love....58 now, and got the scars to prove it.... would do things whole lot different if had chance to do again...to you youths, never rush into anything...be true to God and to yourself
I'm glad I saw your comment. You just made my day with this song Tony Fountaine song. Another classic. Listening to it now on UA-cam. Thank God for UA-cam. 🙂🎶🎼
Nostalgic is an understatement. Chills just stop going down my spine about 5 yrs ago, after everytime I would hear this song. This was the jam everybody wanted to hear at the Skating Rink on " Couples Only", shout out to SeaBrook Skating rink (Now Severn Skate) and Crystal Skate. Only Washingtonians know what Iam talking about. PS. I just unintentionally lied, as a chill just went down my spine as I was typing and listening to the song
I've been looking for this song for over 20 year. and i heard a little 15 yrs girl sing it and i lost my mind. when she told me the artist . I gave her all the money i had in pocket and thanked her. this song bring back strong memorize
I dabbled with my virginity on this song, still not sure if I lost it that night, but it was a great house party I know that, that's all that matters right?
I remember this song as a 15 y/o from 1981.... Listening to this song during my heyday in East Baltimore, it began to get a lot of air play in the late spring and through out the summer of 1981.... WHUR and WXYV (V103 to us old heads). A forgotten classic.
I remember back in 1980 Melvin Linsey came to Annapolis High School and spoke to our class and I gave him a dedication to play for my girl and he opened the Quiet Storm that night with my dedication. I was so thankful to him for keeping his promise. R.I.P. Bro
Quite Storm Classic I’m 43 my mother told me she used to listen to the Quiet Storm when she was pregnant with me every night. It worked I’m a slow jamming fanatic!!!
This right here will forever and always be my jam. Wow that quiet storm was the bomb. I used to have my tape cassette ready so I could record. Lol Upper Marlboro Meadows memories
Well if you love The Quiet Storm, WHUR 96.3 FM, They play all the great ballads from days of Classic, never Old. Yes, they have a app too. This is Howard University's own Campus radio station since 63'.
we all miss those times...it was bout chocolate city...mayor for life marion barry (the lament of the west 'o rock creek park crowd)...cherish the times for what they were...special!
One of the 1st songs that I remember from Rhythm Skate when it was time for the couple's skate. Then after u got the phone number, u went home and talked all night listening to slow jams and when it came on that's when you layed it on thick. The 80's all day. PROPZ GIVEN!!!!
My days in the Army and stationed at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland 1980-1983. Hearing this song on V103 in Baltimore and WHUR in Washington D.C. Hitting the old Capitol Centre Concerts, Painters Mill and O'Dell's in Baltimore, Morgan State Homecoming in 1982. Ft Meade and the NCO Club in Aberdeen. The two Deejay's I remember jammin. (Million Dollar Mike) & (L.T. Connection). The good ole days of the early 80s.
I first heard this song in 1982, my days in the army as well. Fort Hood, Texas. 1980-1983. Wherever I was station, I would buy music. Artists I never heard before, and I came across this gem.
Nothing like being a true Washingtonian back in the day! This song congers up the best of growing up black in DEEECEE! CAN'T EXPRESS HOW MUCH THIS SONG TAKES ME BACK TO GROWING UP IN "CHOCOLATE CITY"!
Old school. 75-90. That quiet storm. Let's go back. Sitting in your room listening, thinking and wishing. The 80s. I'll say it again...the 80s made you,broke you and showed love. 96.3 on that D.C. side. No matter what you did through the day. 8 o'clock. You and myself was ready. Maxwell cassette on play/pause. Sending it to that special one. Good days.
I know that I am obviously too young to even begin to understand how deep and loving this song is... but when I hear it, it just got me teary eyed for some reason. It's not that I have a lover or anything, but the way this woman was singing... I could hear the feelings she put into this song. It's... just so beautiful and I dont know how to describe it.
I was a small kid in Landover Maryland, I snuck into a basement party for the chips when I heard this song for the first time. I been looking for this song ever since ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I was 9 years old, I'm 53 now,Thanks for posting👊🏼.
I learned about this song years ago from a CD compilation called Slow Jams: Timeless Collection Vol. 8. Although it originated from DC/Maryland area, it deserved more attention & exposure. I can't believe Southern area radio stations (LA, MS, FL, GA, AL) never heard of this memorable gem.
wHUr back in the 80's ...... I took this record back home and played it at EVERY HOUSE PARTY I went to over the Christmas break and was handsomely rewarded, again and again !!!!! lol
Quiet Storm I remember listen to that station I remember listen to a lot of DC stations good music I remember back in the day when I play that song any wedding in Baltimore City wonderful song lot of people didn't understand didn't know yes Paris it's from Baltimore wonderful song
I'll have to disagree. There's tons of great music out there, it's just not being spoon fed to us. If you want anything of quality it has to be sought. 🎶🎵
The first time I heard it was early 80's and I fell in love with it. Everytime I walked into the club, they knew to play this before I left. That kind of love and music was deep and soothing. I would sang it to my children for years, still woos me❣.
Evans Jr High fashion show in DC was the first time I heard this classic from Parris, my sister and her gorgeous ass girlfriend walked out to this song and I remember it like it was yesterday.
WOW! Born in SE/DC, raised in PG County, I would listen to WHUR Melvin Lindsey and Kevin Slow Jamming James every night at 7 pm. I was in love in the 10th grade with this song. I need this song on Spotify. This song is a classic!❤ It's so amazing when a certain song comes on no matter how old you are that it will take you back. 💓🦋. This will always be a DMV classic..❤
It's so crazy that songs like this can take you to so many places in the Chocolate City I've known . Thank you Melvin Lyndsey, Kevin "Slow Jammin" James, and also Mr Tony Brown from WDAS out of Philly. Mr Brown and Mr Lyndsey continue to rest in paradise, Kevin, keep the slow jams flowing Bro.
This song brings back moments of being so proud of being a native listener of WHUR "Howard University Radio" the original quiet storm broadcast for the whole nation...lol Just my opinion! Anyway I was living in southwest Virginia as a teenager very recently removed from DMV and heard this song and brought back favorite memories of my beloved hometown!!
Back in high school, I had called the radio dj to play this song as a dedication to my first high school sweetheart. She had turned me inside-out, then broke off from me because of some silly mistake on my part. (Oh, this song reflects the angst and cruelty of young love!)
sounds like Washington DC. The home of the original quiet storm. 96.3. Howard University Radio. The late Melvin Lindsay.
Yep, my hometown
Shouts out to Melvin Lindsey....the late great!
The late great Melvin Lindsay slim! Soufeast Stand up!
I want to say this band is from Charm City, but it's been so long. 🙂
Yes, I was think the same thing 1983. Quiet storms❤️
This was definitely a mainstay in the DC, WHUR, Melvin Lindsey days. It makes my heart glad to see all the comments from fellow Washingtonians and people who had the pleasure of being in DC during this era. In fact, I am going to play this song every day for one entire year. If you were there, let me know. I'm gonna be here all year. Day 1, let's go....
I thought the same thing! There was NOTHING like Melvin Lindsey's Quiet Storm on WHUR.
#StraightOuttaDC
Maybe somebody will do a remake on it
Hello I’m a native Washingtonian! Yess quiet storm was everything to us Melvin Lindsey 💖💕
I fondly remember this song. Another native Washingtonian here! Melvin Lindsey's voice was sooooo smooth. My favorite Quiet Storm host of all time.
The Quiet Storm Kept This One In Rotation
Its so wild how heavy the DMV is up in here... That Quiet Storm really does have its roots in my beloved hometown..
Good ol days when people cried over a break up instead of vandalizing cars and killing someone. 😔

Anybody from D.C. back in the day knows that this was the song you "slow dragged", "dipped" and "bopped" to! And I got it on my MP3 player!

My days in the Army and stationed at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland 1980-1983. Hearing this song on V103 in Baltimore and WHUR in Washington D.C.
Hitting the old Capitol Centre Concerts, Painters Mill and O'Dell's in Baltimore, Morgan State Homecoming in 1982. Ft Meade and the NCO Club in Aberdeen. The two Deejay's I remember jammin.
(Million Dollar Mike) & (L.T. Connection).

@Tony Sizemore I believe this group is homegrown from Charm City (B-more), and of course Melvin Lindsay played the heck out of this.
Yes, they are from Baltimore, butt DC put them on with this song on a quiet storm 🔥🔥
This beautiful song was definitely on Philadelphia's and Chester's Quiet Storm rotation list in the 80's. It brought back so many memories❤
I already know. Philly the Shyt when it comes to great music. I’m from the dmv and my husband is from Philly💋🙌✌️..

I'm in contact with Kevin "slow jam" James from the quiet storm often and he is surely missed by playing this wonderful ballad!
PB King YES he's on Facebook, he's the best DJ!
Absolutely loved his voice.
Classic…if you know you know…I’m here for it in 2024…memories!!!! Will forever listen to the real music!!!
great song i want to say 1979 Melvin the original quiet storm
I love this jam right here! WHUR Quiet Storm! Miss D.C. so much!
This song brings back moments of being so proud of being a native listener of WHUR "Howard University Radio" the original quiet storm broadcast for the whole nation...lol Just my opinion! Anyway I was living in southwest Virginia as a teenager very recently removed from DMV and heard this song and brought back favorite memories of my beloved hometown!!
such a great song! wish she had done an album with this song as the album title!
This a bad joint Lordddd DC
DC baby
Amazing songs love her voice
My mom had this album in Louisiana!
Back in high school, I had called the radio dj to play this song as a dedication to my first high school sweetheart. She had turned me inside-out, then broke off from me because of some silly mistake on my part. (Oh, this song reflects the angst and cruelty of young love!)
Baltimore is in the building, I was 12 or 13 when this dropped, still bang it
