I was playing a game online and “I love my sweetie, Mr Lee” kept popping into my head until I just had to play it and bring back the memories of when I was 14 at the time it hit the music world. Those were some of the greatest days of music. It lasts in our minds. Sadly today’s music flashes and disappears almost instantly. I was fortunate to live in that great era!
@user-ct7ch2if6f
Ladies, thank you forever for the memories of that unforgettable era of music!

They were my neighbors in the Housing Projects that we lived on 99th Street and 2nd Ave, New York City. They would always be singing in the hallway or elevator.
