Ever since the song came out when I was a little girl I was always wondering who was the lady with the beautiful voice! This song never got the credit it really deserved!!!
Wow! For real? This is amazing, I can't believe this. This got to be true, because that was her name. I remember seeing her and her group at a small club in SC. n I never for got that group, they was amazing n she had the most powerful, Amazing beautiful voice. After the show, they sold the song on a 45 single. I got one n still play that song today. I were waiting on more songs from her.
I have been looking for this song since I saw it played on "The Job Man Caravan" show almost 40 years ago. One of the best renditions of a song I have ever seen.
I live in Charleston SC. n I remember over 30 yrs. ago seeing this group singing this song at a club in my town n they sold it on a 45 single, I got one n still have it today. I love this song.
Hi Darryl, I agree with you, this is the best rendition of this song, n I will tell you best rendition of another song. Cry to me, Song by, Freddy Scott. Check that one out, lete know what you think.

Daniel Hodges,manager and excutive producer of midnight blue.
Thank you! I've been trying to find this for years. The Big DM 101.3 FM in Sumter/Columbia used to play this and also WQKI AM in St.Matthews?Orangeburg, S.C. Do you have " If i had one wish" by Midnight Blue also?
The Dunham Report my sister actually had this record!!! She and her friends used to go see this band and the members came over to our house a few times when I was younger! I was in 9th grade when this song was out...#memories
Yes, I'm from Manning SC. I was them live at Scot's Branch Gymnasium. They threw out 45 LPs to the crowd and I caught one. First and last record I ever caught. Of course, I almost played the vinyl of of it.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK......... YOU x a Million!!!!!! Muah!!!!!!!! This song played on heavy rotation on The BIG DM WWDM Sumter SC at the time and across the South Carolina Nightlife Venues and Beyond! I was a Pre-Teen now 41! Many in my family got to see Midnight Blue perform LIVE. I've been looking for over TWO DECADES for this song....One Love To Midnight Blue For One Of Thee Best Covers of this song! Kudos to you for Uploading This! This is one 420 I'll never forget.
I've heard and seen a lot of bad ass drummers in the game but damn this is the baddest ass drumming I've ever heard on a recording and this cat from my backyard in Columbia SC and I never knew his name
O yes a highly respected group that I had the pleasure of listening to in the 80's. Saw many of there conserts. I would love to know what happend to the i'm and old residence of the Meadowlake community and down from the Greenview area in columbia sc..
MY SOUTH CAROLINA SINGING COUSIN CHERIS JETER IS THE ORIGINAL LEAD VOCALIST ON THIS SONG. I REMEMBER HER BEING RECOGNIZED BY A FAN IN MY HOMETOWN WASHINGTO DC I HAVE THE 45 SINGLE ON MOTOWN RECORDS THIS IS SOME STRONG STONE SOUL SINGING!!!!!
I would start by contacting/researching Samarah Productions, Inc. With a quick google search I found this www.discogs.com/label/514125-Samarah Good luck!
i used to play with midnight blue (Black Evil and Midnight Funk) in the 70's they are planning a reunion soon so look out columbia ...sc.... Debra, Robert Hoefer.. eddie and myron are all working on a tour..
Had the wonderful pleasure of hearing Debra Bailey tonight in Columbia(Best Singer in the District contest) as she sang Precious Lord Take My Hand, what an awesome voice....I remember this song I Who Have Nothing so very well, was mesmerised by it in high school, Hartsville. I also got to hear Robert Hoefer sing "Reasons"-just awesome. Other members of Midnight Blue were there as well.
I'm quite sure that Midnight Blue never released a record with "If I Had One Wish" on it. So, I suppose what you heard was a demo or acetate of the song, meaning the only way to upload it would be for one of the group members to provide a copy.
@@perrydunham I wasn't suggesting you don't know what you're talking about, but here is the discography of Midnight Blue with the label names the record numbers and the dates of release. As you can see, there is no release with "wish" in the title. Since you were not the only commenter mentioning this song, I was suggesting that maybe the group made a demo or had a test pressing of a song they were pushing, that you all heard, and that it was never released commercially.: MIDNIGHT BLUE ( modern soul) (Columbia, SC) Samarah 80145 I Who Have Nothing / (inst.) (80) Motown 1506 I Who Have Nothing / (inst.) (11/80) Enjoy 6019 Enjoy With Me (nvg) / Part 2 (nvg) (81)
That's my mom on the cover of this song her name is Debra Bailey n the group broke up many years ago..but there is talk of a reunion...

I remember that played at my high school when I was a freshman back in 1980. The lead singer her voice was serious. That drummer killed it on this too

THE PASSING OF DANIEL HODGE WHO MADE ALL THIS POSSIBLE-MY PAL. MAY YOU REST IN HIS HOLINESS!!!
I've heard and seen a lot of bad ass drummers in the game but damn this is the baddest ass drumming I've ever heard on a recording and this cat from my backyard in Columbia SC and I never knew his name
These guys together had the right chemistry and Debra's voice is undeniable. Midnight Blue had the magic.
Can you post Debra's full name, and, perhaps, names of the other group members?
I thought I was the only one that knew about this song. Thanks for sharing.

This band out of Columbia, SC. use to perform at Shaw Air Force Sumter, SC. great band. I believe the keyboard player name was Myron.
Is this Debra Bailey??
1961CDAVDABREEZER, I wondered the same thing riding through the Lakes last night. The main reason I searched today.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
Stationed in Savannah 80-82 and this was a big hit there also.
can anyone find another song the group sang back in the day.... i think the name is if I had one wish it would be....help
yes it was called wishing... they also did enjoy... but this was the best one..
Sing it Debra.
I hope that someone from the band has a copy of “If I Had One Wish” and upload it on UA-cam. That would be great!
