[@kimbaker4169]

DMV Stand Up!! WHUR 96.3 with the late great Melvin Lindsey!!

[@davecoleman3770]

This was and still is a great song. I saw a show back in the 80s in Washington D.C. at Warner theatre never forgot it and never will. I miss this group, hit after hit after hit. Thanks you Lewis Brothers great First Class Act. Blessings to you. Peace

[@debiwilliams1588]

A WHUR Quiet Storm classic when Melvin Lindsey was the host. This and Chapter 8's " I Just want to be your Girl" featuring Anita Baker were game changers back in the day.

[@lavery0365]

Umph, I remember

[@dawnpopham8862]

Debi Williams so true!

[@bryantallen5584]

preach sista.... memories

[@Jay-eq2xx]

YES DMV ALL DAY!!!

[@PurpleImpactStrategies]

Yes the dmv

[@RosaTaylor-b9n]

Every song they put out was a Hit. I love love this group. Every time I hear this song it makes me cry because it is Deep!! Thus Also reminds me of the clubs back in the day. I recently saw them this yr in Alexandria VA. They were Amazing and they haven't missed a beat❤❤

[@invisiblesun6595]

What a ballad. This one really strikes a chord. I know their 80's material gets more love - and deservedly so - but their late 70's albums really get better with time, aging like fine wine.

[@Brickcitygirl]

yes indeed

[@neosoulmusiclvr]

This was the jam during my college days! I love this song! #WHURDays RIP Melvin Lindsey . #TheQuietStorm

[@SoldBySharone]

My favorite Atlantic Starr song! We loved it in Washington DC! #QuietStorm #MelvinLindsey #WHUR

[@lavery0365]

Yes, Smokey Robinson's intro: Quiet Storm let you know it was bout to go down.

[@tynadaniels4394]

It's doesn't get any better than this, its still the best song, ever created.

[@TheYOLANDA71]

Jamming to this in 2021! True classic

[@bartenderzzz]

From the sax to her voice. I melt every time. 🔥🔥🔥

[@henrydm13]

One of the first songs that I fell in love with when tuning in to WHUR as a teenager in '81.

[@cliftonhall4063]

hey, does anyone remember when " quiet storm" played this cut and then follow that with " can't let go" by that group Parrish? that was the shit.

[@garlandhancock3712]

Clifton Hall , He'll yea they played it on 96.3 WHUR

[@tammyjohnson5146]

I remember....omg

[@kimcapies4276]

Yesss,

[@derekrucker3992]

Yass I do remember .. Parrish was from the D.C. area

[@rickjohnson2648]

The group was called paris

[@kellihwilliams7580]

Loved this song back in the day. This man was serious. This is when a man knew how to touch your heart. Definitely a lost art.

[@dereklondon1663]

CLASSIC, just CLASSIC!! Finally, I can hear it again. Long time, 1979. I am satisfied now.

[@Jay-eq2xx]

I was playing my cassette tapes, lol a week ago and this popped up and I couldn't find it. But dammit I'm determined and here we are....Yes this is a DMV Classic

[@knowledgetruth6334]

One the greatest songs about the possibility of losing one good sister!!!!! I was a 20 something year old brother in the DMV in 1980! And, Melvin Lindsay was just about to make his move to 96.3 WHUR from 93.9 KISS. I surely miss those days, and I miss the DMV, Peace and many blessings to all my sisters and brothers that know what I am talking about!!!!!!

[@sallysson]

If you grew up or were already grown during this time, you were blessed. If you did it in the DC area, you were especially blessed.✌

[@VICTOR-py7hn]

DC/Maryland smooth grooves and classic on WHUR 96.3 music to my ears!!

[@mrznikkij]

Boyyyyyy Ive listened to this song so many dam times that its ridiculous. Im such a fan of atlantic starr

[@lavery0365]

I am doing the same, it just takes me back to my mid teens when I was trying to figure out which road to take. Thankfully the Lord above pointed me in the right direction.

[@waynelewis8355]

Thank u for the love!

[@xaqaraequinox9608]

This one here - this jam, put Atlantic Starr on the map!! tI remember Kevin 'Slow-Jammin' James', on WHUR/96.3 playing this on regular!! I can almost remember the feeling I got when I first heard this song - it was like OMGosh - who was that?? I love this song !!I mean, talk about feeling - they sang the hell out of this...WISH A Starr - would do a concert here in the DC area..lot of people would come, that I know !!

[@embassyvideos]

XaQaRa EquinoX just left the Birchmere and A Starr did a wonderful show! Yes they hit this song too!

[@AQJONES2798]

I remember oh so fondly! Kevin btw is now working and living on the West Coast

[@waynelewis8355]

[@SoNozee]

Such a classic...they don't make music like this anymore...smh.

[@djay6363]

This JAM right here! Right here! I mean...straight up Blue Lights In The Basement house party type jams. The memories I have of those times...

[@joejoeblackman9333]

Ahhhh! Back in my Army days. Stationed at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. June 1980-May 1983. Listening too Quiet Storm WHUR in Washington D.C. Is that Sharon Bryant, singing female lead? Atlantic Starr was right up there with "Con Funk Shun" killing classic slow jams. Still Soul RnB today I listen too. U.S. Army June 1976-June 1986

[@erikwilson4481]

I miss this good music when I was a teenager laying back listening to whur slow jams.. Thanks

[@troiames1758]

I remember those good gooooood ol' slow jams 96.3 dayz.

[@derekrucker3992]

This is my favorite song they ever made.. Folks in the DMV just love it. Send for me is a close second.. Sang y'all

[@cultured33]

All day long, one of Melvin Lindsey's specials...go DC!

[@ewiz06]

For sure. Send for Me is a classic. However, after this song my favorite Atlantic Starr slow jam is definitely "Am I Dreaming".

[@AQJONES2798]

Al Cool Hey Al! Nothing like the ol "Quiet Storm" days! Good music here

[@jitbhangal7197]

[@AQJONES2798]

A wonderful and great friend of mine, Mr. Kevin "Slow Jam" James would play this for us on Saturday night during the 'Quiet Storm' in DC/MD/VA! Miss you buddy, hope you're enjoying the west coast! Anthony

[@1altadena]

I'm from the DMV...now living in LA....but you guys are right...The Quiet Storm ..late night...WHUR...good good memories...AS was the group..wow...

[@gregorymanigault396]

This was one of the best, I liked the first female lead singer.

[@jamarrogers2391]

That saxophone is heavenly

[@marvymarv7305]

Hur in DC would play this, Cant let go by Parris and then end it with Why Have I lost you by Cameo. Huh Man? Younginz today just dont know. Real Love, your feelings was real joe. Make a hard nukka cry.

[@lavery0365]

Marvy Marv Umph. Exactly!!

[@gochr1s]

LOL we must BOTH have been taping the Quiet Storm THAT night! i still have that cassette in my collection, with the songs in THAT order.

[@dnicety8700]

You hit bro!! That jam by Parris was on point too!!

[@stormymonday2k194]

[@rickmarcel1916]

[@rickjohnson2648]

I recently left the DC area and I remember the quiet storm I live in Northern California now and this song takes me right home 6:00 every night

[@PurpleImpactStrategies]

Born in the dmv n live in norcal now as well lol. N yes the quiet storm on whur ...wow loved that time

[@cliftonhall4063]

this is the one song that you sat and listened to the " quiet storm" every night because although they didn't play it every night, you didn't want to miss it when they did play it .this one's for you Rhonda l. wherever you are.

[@lavery0365]

My father just recently passed on 1/7/2021, his mother, my beloved grandmother passed just 4 mos earlier, I know it's a part of the cycle of life, but that doesn't mean it still doesn't hurt. I'll be getting up at 4am in NC to make the roadtrip to MS for his funeral services and to handle his business. My youngest sis & I will be ensuring he has a decent homecoming, he was a Marine, served in Vietnam, DC cop, worked as security at the steel mill in Indiana, owned a few night clubs, husband, father, son, brother, cousin & good friend to all those who knew him. He's gonna be thoroughly missed. RIP L. Edward Avery 1944 - 2021.

[@jesswalk1068]

Sorry for your lost man. I. Guessing they must have really liked this song

[@brucecauthen3356]

I first heard it at "The Room" club in Washington DC, Maniac McCloud was the DJ! It was the bomb then! And it still is now!

[@francesrush1342]

Classic Atlantic Starr! My Jam here! Played this one endlessly! A Quiet Storm WHUR 96.3 Classic played by Melvin Lindsey (RIH) and Kevin Slowjammin James! Much Love!

Soft and warm the Majic 108 Quiet Storm, oh bad, I was thinking back to when jams like this ran and ruled the nighttime air waves! Peace!

[@cynthiagomes2979]

Yes. I can't stand the thought of losing you. Me and my baby will never part. We are going to always be together. Real talk. Nice vibe

[@mrshoes1000]

[@MelodyMaker151]

I discovered this song back when I moved to the DMV in the early 2000s. They loved it on WHUR ... and up to that point I had thought of myself as being a pretty devoted Atlantic Starr fan lol. This is easily their best ballad, and it was the best cut on that second LP they did.

[@alonzowedge8642]

by far one of the greatest love songs of all time

[@williambrinson8615]

Alonzo Wedge agreed

[@yolandastokes449]

I remember going to an Atlantic Starr concert, and the crowd started chanting "Losing You." Atlantic Starr still didn't perform the song. My girlfriends and I only went to the concert for them to perform this song. I guess Atlantic Starr was unaware of how popular this song was, and still is, in the DMV. You best believe that the next time Atlantic Starr came back to DC, this song was on the list to perform 🎵🎶🎷! Only one Quiet Storm - WHUR

Kandee...Indeed this song definitely takes me too, back to my wonderful college days in late 70's. Great ballad by AS, one of my favorite R & B groups. I still have this precious original LP and there 1st 4 LP's in individual protective plastic album covers. Great start for a very young Atlantic Starr team. "Keep it coming" was the early hit played on the airwaves in my central Illinois from this LP. Still Enjoying it!

I loved this song when it came out. I don't understand why it is so hard to find any recognition of it. I was looking for it when downloads started and it took me years to find it. Today Google and Shazam do not recognize it either. I just wonder what happened with this song. Damn it takes me back.
