Posting all these fine ladies back to back reminds me Ray Goodman and Brown's raygoodmanandbrown.net 1979 hit of their self titled album which was released on Polydor Records.
The Summer of '79. The Tennis Courts, Boomboxes and Ray Goodman and Brown's "Special Lady" pumpin out of the radio every day. They sounded like they had so much fun recording this song and the lyrics? The harmonies? Had a little 9-year-old LT just listening and trying to remember all the lines until I could attempt to sing it. LOL!
Yet another Old School Song that reinforced to us youngins to always respect the ladies. I would always listen to this song from beginning to end and was actually blown away by it.
Lyrics by (Harry Ray, Al Goodman and L. Walter)
You must be a special lady
(Billy, you sing the first verse)
[Come on, Herb, sing, sing it, man]
And a very exciting girl
(Al, bring that bass out, man)
[Hey man, I'll bring it out a little bit more)
You gotta be a special lady
(Let's get down once more, come on)
'Cause you got me sittin' on top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world
Somehow I knew it would be you
To change my gray skies to blue
And it was strange when you called my name
Ever since that day I haven't been the same, ooh
Before I met you, my sun didn't want to shine
Then all of a suddenly you slipped up from behind
Pop (Pop) went the reason in my mind
A sweet special lady
And a very exciting girl (ooh, so exciting)
You gotta be a special lady (what a lady)
'Cause you got me sittin' on top of the world
Sittin' on top of the world
I was like a song so out of key
Then you came and gave my soul a melody
Thanks to you, for pullin' me through
I've always lost but now I win with you
Before I met you, my sun didn't want to shine
Then all of a suddenly you slipped up from behind
Pop (pop) went the reason in my mind
(You must be a special lady) you're a lady
(And a very exciting girl) so exciting, woo
(You gotta be a special lady) you're a lady
('Cause you got me sittin' on top of the world)
Oh, sittin' on top of the world
You're a lady
(Sittin' on top of the world)
(Sittin' on top of the world)
Before I met you, my sun didn't want to shine
Then all of a suddenly you slipped up from behind
Pop (Pop) went the reason in my mind
