Formed in Camden, New Jersey, USA, and comprising Jenny Holmes, David Beasley, James Tuten and Clarence Vaughan, the Ebonys had minor success in the early 70s with a Dells -styled approach of baritone lead with answering falsetto second lead. The group was discovered by Gamble And Huff and recorded consistently for their Philadelphia International Records label in the early 70s, but achieved only two sizeable hits on the R&B charts, ‘You’re The Reason Why’ (number 10 R&B, number 51 pop) from 1971, and ‘It’s Forever’ (number 14 R&B, number 68 pop) from 1973. The group recorded for Buddah in 1976 with little success, with only a minor single, ‘Making Love Ain’t No Fun (Without The One You Love)’ (number 83 R&B), making the charts. It was their last chart record.

Beautiful song. When this song came out in 1973, it did not come out as a Christian or gospel song. This song was only played on black, secular radio stations. When radio and clubs played this song, we slow dragged(a style of dance) to this song. No one had God on their mind as we dance. I guess we never really truly got into the words, just the rhythm of the song. You see, the group already had another big secular hit song that was out as well. Now, that I am in my 60's I realized this song has another meaning and have even heard this song played on Christian radio but different artist singing. I appreciate the words to this song and now when I hear it, tears fill my eyes. You live, grow wiser and learn!!!

I love how this song showcases each of their vocals. Beautiful harmony and beautifully sung solo parts.

Seriously forgot about this song after all these years. Then for some reason, I woke up singing it this morning. I believe no matter what we're going through, we'll be okay.

Many musicians and vocalists have done this song since the '40s or '50s and each arrangement speaks to someone who needs to hear it.
