I was thinking Roberta Flack, "Don't Make Me Wait Too Long", but the lyrics don't match. Sorry. :(

Geez, this sounds soooo familiar. I know I know it...but the title eludes me. :oops:

it's that "you're number one for me and I need you so desperately" that's gonna bug me all night!!!!! :evil:

The title is not in those lyrics, I don't think--but it's like the next phrase it seems...but what's the next phrase????!!!!!!!!!

Default please don't make me wait too long

Boy you promised me, that one day you'll be,the love I can ....Every time I ask, are you ready for love, yuou tell me that you need more time,

Baby Please, don't make me wait too long, 'cause without you I can't go on, , you're number one for me, and I need you so desperately

As days go by, and I find that my, love for you is getting stronger, But the only thing you say to me, ishold on a little bit longer,

Baby, please...

no more, please don't make me wait, this lonliness, I can't take, ......

Baby, please...

la la la la.....
Baby, please...

The music between phrases is phenomeinal. It is orchestrated with some string sections. I think it is the best disco song ever.

Uh, it's produced and orchestrated by Simon Soussan, who also did Arpeggio, Jessica Williams, French Kiss, early Shalamar. Very Spanish guitar/flamenco-ish arrangement.

As I mentioned earlier it's by Pattie Brooks from 1977

4. Girl Don't Make Me Wait [Extended Dance Mix] performed by Pattie Brooks - 10:52

The year before her "After Dark" was released.

Markydefad, consider yourself a disco genius. I have searched many disoco sites and lists, and this song has never come up or been identified. Thanks a million!

Thanks, Manipulator. I'm no disco genius, believe me. But I do like this song and listen to it occasionally on my way to work.

It's on the Billboard Top Dance Hits-1977 CD (full length version 10:52); I still see these at Amoeba Records here in LA.

Some cuts are edits--but this cut is in it's full-length glory.

By the way, the song was written by Leon Huff of Gamble/Huff fame. Bunny Sigler recorded this first; later Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods & Timebox did it.

Hence, the "Girl" in the title (since males sang it originally)..which Pattie doesn't sing and makes it hard to figure the title out...she says "Baby, please"...

Miss Brooks mustn't be from the same side of the duvet as Nona Hendryx & Hazel Dean then!
