The Intruders' song "Together" is a romantic ballad that speaks about a couple's unbreakable bond. The first verse talks about how the love between the couple is strong enough to weather any storm, even if they were lost in a desert without a place to go, they wouldn't even know because they are so consumed with each other. The chorus emphasizes the idea that as long as they are together, they are happy, and any place, even in poverty, is bearable because they have each other. The second verse punctuates this sentiment by alluding to the fact that the woman always understands her partner, and as long as they share their troubles, they are together.
The song's theme was common in soul songs of the time and speaks to the idea of how love and companionship can be enough to get through life's challenges. The song is characterized by a slow tempo, with smooth vocals and harmonies. The melody is not as complex as some soul songs of the time but still manages to be memorable. Additionally, the use of "together" in the chorus emphasizes the unbreakable nature of the couple's relationship.

This gives me chills and takes me back to my 4 big sisters (RIH Joyce) playing all these 45s in their room back in the day. Thanks to them I was exposed to the good music. We lived for Philly WDAS. Miss those days so much!!

@Rockin' Rick Yeah, those were the days my friend. WIBG was not far from where I lived. Don Cannon lived at the same apartment complex where I grew up. I knew his sons Chris and Russell, but hardly ever saw Don. You mentioned WDAS...I would listen to it from time to time when I was an adult. I mostly listened to my 8 tracks in the 80s.

This got a lot of airplay on WIBBAGE and WFIL too........
