Wright toured with Lenny White at 13 and played with Tom Browne in 1979. He got such strong response that he was signed to GRP in 1981. But the LP 'Nard stalled, though there was good reaction among R&B and fusion fans to the single "Just Chillin' Out." It was followed by Funky Beat for Arista and Mr. Wright for Manhattan/EMI. Wright also co-wrote and sang with La La on "We'll Keep Strivin." He recorded with Cameo, Bobby Brown, Pieces of a Dream, and Charles Earland, among others.
In 1990 he released the gospel album Fresh Hymns. In 2000 he formed a trio with Alfredo Elias and Damon Banks and released the album Back To Our Roots.
Who Do You Love
Bernard Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had never been in love before
But since you came in my direction
I've had a change, a change of heart
My girl said come a dime a dozen
I fed them things they love to hear
I never was wanting for a lover
But I never knew that true love was indeed
[Chorus]
Who do you love?
Girl I'm in love with you
Are you for sure?
Sure as the sky is blue
Who do you love?
Just let me prove to you
Are you for sure?
Yes, girl my love is true
I used to be the great pretender
For the very first time I'm for real
You've got me listening to my heart now
You gotta believe how real
I am ready to be become the giver
Now that I realized that it is give and take
Oh, love has broken my defenses
This time I'm not just only me
I gotta tell you babe...
[Chorus]
How do I know that you won't go, please tell me
I don't want to lose your love
And if it's true, I'll stay with you
That would make me so happy
How do I know that you won't go, please tell me
I don't want to lose your love
And if it's true, I'll stay with you
That would make me so happy
[Chorus: x5]
The song "Who Do You Love" by Bernard Wright is about a man who falls in love for the first time and is unsure if the woman he loves feels the same way. He says that before he met her, he was never in love and had many lovers who he only told what they wanted to hear. However, he is now a changed person and is willing to be a giver in a relationship.
In the chorus, he asks the woman who she loves and declares his love for her, asking if she is sure of her feelings. He is finally at a point where he is ready to be vulnerable and truthful about his emotions, and he wants to prove his love to her.
The man is scared of losing her and seeks reassurance that she is not going anywhere. He tells her that staying with her would make him so happy, and he wants her to know that his love for her is genuine.
In summary, "Who Do You Love" is an uplifting song about love and vulnerability. It shows the growth and transformation of a man who learns the importance of true love.

Please, let me make a true confession
I want to be honest with you
I had never been in love before
I have never experienced true love in my life
But since you came in my direction
Ever since I met you
I've had a change, a change of heart
My views on love have changed
My girl said come a dime a dozen
My previous lovers were easily replaceable
I fed them things they love to hear
I said things they wanted to hear, but didn't truly mean
I never was wanting for a lover
I always had someone to be with
But I never knew that true love was indeed
I never realized what love truly meant, until now
Who do you love?
Who do you care for?
Girl I'm in love with you

As certain as the sky being blue

Let me show you
Yes, girl my love is true
My feelings for you are genuine
I used to be the great pretender

For the first time, my feelings are genuine
You've got me listening to my heart now
I am following my heart
You gotta believe how real
You must understand how sincere I am
I am ready to be become the giver
I am willing to give instead of just take
Now that I realized that it is give and take
I have learned that a relationship requires both parties to give
Oh, love has broken my defenses
Love has made me vulnerable
This time I'm not just only me
I am no longer only thinking about myself
I gotta tell you babe...
I need to express my feelings to you
How do I know that you won't go, please tell me
How can I trust that you won't leave me?

I value your feelings for me
And if it's true, I'll stay with you
If you truly care for me, I will be committed to you
That would make me so happy
I would be overjoyed
Chorus: Who do you love?
Who do you care for?
Girl I'm in love with you
I have feelings for you
Are you for sure?
Are you certain?
Sure as the sky is blue
As certain as the sky being blue
Just let me prove to you
Let me show you
Are you for sure?
Are you certain?
Yes, girl my love is true
My feelings for you are genuine

Bernard, is not resting anywhere. He's not tired.
Bernard, is Peace.
Bernard, is a constantly rejuvenated light vessel, self sustained, eternally expanding.
There is no physicality in the heavens.
Bernard, continues to compose music in the heavens, where there are no physical ears or hands playing instruments.
Bernard, composes music in thought vibrations. Those musical thought vibrations are received by others in the heaven realms.
Bernard never stopped creating. And music is the only thing most knew him for. If he ever graced your presence, then you have his Sun. So go and continue to SHINE.
Jus Sayin'

@chrisconnors9449
The 80s was by far the greatest most creative decade of music. When looking overall. Pop, Rock, Hip Hop, Soul.
@ismailtroxler1
When artists of 80's went in to create music, it was a passionate affair. This was music you can feel! These days, you can tell the difference. Low vibrational, and full of garbage. Most! Not all.
