    What a great R&B & soul group from the 70's. Teddy Pendergrass was their lead singer before going solo in 1976. They had some great songs such as "The Love I Lost", "Wake Up Everybody", "Bad Luck", "I Miss You", "Hope That We Can Be Together Soon", "Don't Leave Me This Way" etc.

    Asia and BJ. This should be the song you two listen to whenever you have any kind of disagreement. The two of you have a fantastic relationship, and I hope it lasts forever.
    I heard this song when I was a mere lad way back in the 2oth century during my teenage years. My only wish was to one day find someone who fits me like glove the way you two do.
    The next step is to play some romantic music. Here are a couple of suggestions.

    Those magical musicians at Sigma Studio in Philly. They backed up so many performers.

    FYI. This is only half of the song.

    Hi guys, I’m a 74 years old soul music fan. I have been exclusively listening soul music since 1968. I love soul music especially harmony groups, so this song is my routine listening one. I like also 70’s soul, because back instrumentals were often full orchestra, especially in Philly soul like this.
