There was a time when the quality of one's voice integrating with rich music was greatly valued. Music fans boasted how their selected artist was better than their peers.
That period of pop music produced some of the sweetest voices ever heard. The backing musicians played chords, keys, and riffs that blended so well with the voices, it was mind blowing. The percussion instruments added a soft rhythm to complete the ensemble. Groups like the "Commodores" rocked the scene with Lionel Richie being their front man. The hits kept coming one after the other.
Richie launched on his own and the chart toppers continued. From this selection of his greatest hits, I've selected "Penny Lover", a gentle ballad that you can relax with your lover or have a slow dance that can help to draw you closer . It's worth a listen.
Penny Lover
The first time I saw you
Oh, you look so fine
And I had a feeling
One day you'd be mine
Honey you came along and captured my heart
Now my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm all alone it's you that I miss
Girl a love your yours is hard to resist
Oh, oh, ooh, ooh, oh.
Penny Lover, my love's on fire
Penny lover you're my one desire
Tell me baby could this be true
That I could need someone, like I need you
Nights warm and tender
Lying next to you
Girl I surrender
Oh, what more can I do
I've spent all of my life in search of your love
Now there's one more thing I'd like to say
Don't you ever take your sweet love away
Girl I'd do anything just please stay
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I don't understand, oh what's come over me
But I'm not gonna worry, no not anymore
'Cause when a man's in love he's only got one story
That's why my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm lost and alone it's you that I miss
With a love like yours it's hard to resist
Ooh, ooh, oh.....
This song reached number one on the UK charts and Number 8 on The R&B charts.
