Qdearl:

the introductory lyrics were "I can't tell you what a good thing is for my love/ I can't tell you what a bad thing is for my heart. Theirs female background singers and the male voice says towards the verses apex "I'm just a lonely man who loves you". Then it goes immediately into verse 2 with the same pattern as the first verse.

I still think its Black Ivory's "Will we ever come together" on Buddah from 1976ish. Also look at Webster Lewis, DJ Rogers, Robert Winters and Fall, and Walter Jackson but I do not think its them. The ballad does sound like 1979 or 80 but Black Ivory always set trends as opposed to follow them.

It's definitely not "Will we Ever Come Together" nor any track from that LP, It doesn't really sound like Black Ivory to me, I can't be 100% sure because I don't have all their Lp's, I'm missing 1, The one that includes Mainline (original) not when they re-released it on the LP Then & Now:D I'll listen to it some more and see what comes to mind.....

It's might be a group. The guy has an enourmous vocal range and I find it hard to believe that its someone totally unknown. It has an Enchantment or Brainstorm feel to it. Look to a group like the Dramatics that changes lead singers or a group that had a major change in personel.

I am weak on soul ballads.
