Reply With QuoteSounds like Teddy Pendergrass, but for some reason I can't figure out which of his songs this comes from. Is this a rare Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes track? Is this called "Full of Fire" or what?

I don't have 'realplayer' but if discosavvy is hearing "full of fire" it might be Al Green, as that's his song.

Well, I just heard Al Green's "Full of Fire" at http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/stor...241181,00.html and it's not that song.
The song dickdukes references has Teddy Pendergrass's distinctive (passionate and authoritative) vocals - I'm pretty sure of that - or else a really good imitator of him. Especially the way he lowers his voice several times he says "out there".
To help you guys out, I'm transcribing the lyrics of what this mystery tune says:
"Now listen, all you men, all you men, all you men, all you men, all you men, all you men, now listen, all you men, all you men, out there, who thought who thought who thought you were slick like me, believe me, all you men, all you men, all you men, all you men, all you men, all you men, out there, who thought who thought who thought you were slick like me, believe me, a gentle woman threw out her love line on me, a gentle woman say threw her love line out on me, but wait a minute you see, I ain't complainin', no I ain't complainin', but I thought I swear I thought that it couldn't happen to me, oh, full of fire, full of fire, she all captivatin' me, had me sweatin' and screamin', oh I felt so free, now you see, all you men out there, all you men out there, if y'all know what I mean, I want y'all to stand up, stand up and sing along with me..." When Teddy says "stand up" there's a chorus in the background repeating the words "stand up".
It sounds like a circa 1977 production with a similar sound to "Baby, You Got My Nose Open". There's a song on the Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes' 1977 album NOW IS THE TIME (AB 1041) called "Power of Love", is this it? Or "Feels Like Magic"?

Thnaks Doscosavvy,
I agree that the vocalist sounds exactly like Teddy Pendergrass from his Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes days (Bad Luck, etc). But I cannot find any song they made that matches this one. Someone has got to know.

It's definitely 'Baby You Got My Nose Open' by Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes, post-Teddy P. It's from the 'Now Is The Time' LP on ABC. Personally, I really enjoyed the Harold Melvin stuff even more than the Teddy P era stuff, with the exception of Wake Up Everybody, which is an unsurpassable classic LP.

Yeah, it's a weird phrase, but it was urban slang along the lines of 'she's a brick house' and 'she's a bad mama jama'. I actually saw it used in a sentence in that Wattstax documentary from '73. They were interviewing a bunch of guys in a poor part of town and one guy was talking about some fine lady he used to know and how she got "his nose open".Originally Written by remicks
Update: I thought I'd look for another example of the use of that phrase, and found these lyrics to a Buddy Guy tune:
I GOT MY EYES ON YOU
Got my nose open baby
You got my nose open baby
Ahhh Huhuhu
You got my nose open woman
But, I got my eyes on you
You got me weepin' and moanin'
Got me weepin' and moanin'
He, you got me weepin' and moanin'
Oh yes
You got me weepin' and moanin' woman
But I got my eyes on you
Look-a-here
Got my nose open baby
You got my nose open woman
Uh ohohooo yeah
Got my nose open baby
But, I got my eyes on you.

Thanks to this thread , I now own and often enjoy BABY YOU GOT MY NOSE OPEN by Harold Melvin and The Bluenotes ..... great song ...8-)
I wanted to mention a similar reference of this odd phrase that I've found in another song ....
In Gloria Jones' WINDSTORM she says
You turn me on you got my nose
You're here and then you're there ,
like a windstorm
*****
Baby, take me
high upon a hillside
high up where the stallion
meets the sun

:lol: :lol: :lol: OK, just so you guys know this "odd phrase" is not new, check out these lyrics from Ike & Tina Turner, "A Fool In Love", which was #27 on Billboard's Pop Chart in 1961 and actually #2 a year earlier on their R&B Chart:
Now listen --- Without the man I don't wanna live.
You think I'm lyin' but I'm tellin' you like it is.
He's got my nose open and that's no lie
And I, I'm gonna keep him satisfied.
So, to sum up... It's just a BLACK THANG, children.;-) I been hearing this since I was kid. Never really thought about it. When you're hung up on someone soooo bad that he/she is "leading you around by the nose" or you're "following him/her around like a sick puppy", then, YOUR NOSE IS OPEN.:D
Love Has No Time or Place
