"You Make Me Feel Brand New"- The Stylistics

[enigmatic]

I've been listening to alot of early 70's soul for the past few days, and when I was a kid of 10 or so, I made my brother buy this single for me after hearing it on WIXY 1260 in Clevo, one of the great top 40 stations of the era.

This song always gets me, even after 30 years..


My love
I’ll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain
Precious love
You held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again

Only you
Cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you
Filled with gratitude and love

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song ’cause you
Make me feel brand new

My love
Whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me
Precious friend
With you I’ll always have a friend
You’re someone who I can depend
To walk a path that never ends

Without you
My life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay
You for having faith in me..

1. That song was hot when I had my first girlfriend

in 1973.

She dumped me after about a month and went back to the guy she dumped for me.

Her loss. :evilgrin:

2. My favorite Spinners song is "Rock and Roll Baby"

"You Make Me Feel Brand New" is from the same (excellent) album.

7. That's the Stylistics not the Spinners

Two great groups.

8. I knew that. It's part of the thread title.

I can't imagine why I wrote "The Spinners."

:blush:

3. Great song, e!

How are you this evening/morning? :loveya:

4. One of my favorites...

from backindaday when lyrical and musical content and substance were taken seriously.

5. They did several good songs

I must say I like their version of "You'll Never Get To Heaven" better than Dionne Warwick's.

6. You Are Everything

Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
He walked like you do
I thought it was you
As he turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed
When it wasn't you
Wasn't you
ou are everything
You are everything
And everything is you
Oh, you are everything
And everything is you
'Cause you are everything
And everything is you

How can I forget
When each face that I see
Brings back memories
Of being with you
I just can't go on
Living life as I do
Comparing each girl with you
Knowing they just won't do
They're not you

'Cause you are everything
And everything is you
Oh, you are everything
And everything is you
You are everything
And everything is you
