Black Ivory - Will We Ever Come Together

[@1soFortunate]

Very smooth harmony and the lyrics! Outstanding!! This group should have been receiving Grammy's! But their talent is not wasted because people are still listening to them almost 50 years later!!!

[@patrickwashington3868]

I will never understand why UNSUNG never did a story on Black Ivory! These brothers were great entertainers & singers back in the '70's. Holla Back! T'Challa! Delfonics Forever!

[@nadinebriggs2741]

LOVE this group, they give me the feelings of back in the day, blue light in the basement parties, young love.

[@strawberries404]

I just love Black Ivory. Can't believe some people never heard of them. Their music was the real deal, and those fros were clean. Dig it.

[@bonitacorbett3278]

I agree 💯%

[@Angela-p2c]

Let it b dug!!

[@Angela-p2c]

Indeed they were and still are!! Stylistics, The Dells all the GOATS!!!

[@jeromeware7437]

WHUR "Quiet Storm" Classic!!! Blue lights in the basement slow drag joint!!! Between 15 & 16 yrs. old. And as a former DJ (still plays in my basement), I appreciate these type of love songs! This generation doesn't have and will never make this kind of music if they don't go back to the roots!

[@wlrouse7024]

One of the best groups ever.

[@francesrush1342]

Classic Black Ivory! My Jam here! Played this one endlessly! Love Black Ivory! Much Love!

[@tkeitt43]

Glad that this song is back N circulation.Thanks 4 bringing this song back.........

[@helengrigsby4838]

Yesssss, I remember my older siblings playing Black Ivory albums over and over. Growing up in NYC

[@carlagpt]

Woo woo woo, Im in my 40's and dont listen to nothing but oldies and never heard this one. wow Im slipping. Very sweet!

[@jeromeware7437]

Underrated song & group when they had the likes of the Jackson 5, Chi-Lites, Blue Magic, Cameo, Stylistics, Delfonics, Dells,...to compete with!!! You would have to know who they were in that era if you knew R&B music of all kind!

[@lilypittman890]

Thank you for the Best Memories of All Times.

[@sheilapalmer9539]

You are so sosososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososososo underrated

[@dwaynewhitted4878]

They should have gotten more recognition for this song.

[@dwhitted7308]

Now this is the epitome of an unsung group great lyrics song should have gotten much more recognition!!!

[@forgottengrooves6073]

D Whitted they should have an Unsung made about them.

[@jameshowell6160]

YES THEY SHOULD. ANOTHER GROUP THAT SHOULD HAVE AN EPISODE OF UNSUNG DONE ABOUT THEM IS ( THE SMITH CONNECTION.) THEY HAD A SIMILAR SOUND.,BUT WERE SO UNDERRATED.

[@cynthiam6082]

This group sung some serious love songs in the 70s. I was living in Harlem NY and remember seeing and talking to them on the corner of 122nd and St Nicholas. I was was maybe 12 or 13. They were heartthrobs...

[@ethelstevenslove2957]

+Cynthia M Hi, I remember this group also from back in the day.....They graduated a year before me from Louis D. Brandeis high school, being the class of 1970 and me 1971......

[@theacarter8205]

+Cynthia M OMG, funny you should say that. I was living in Washington Heights then and about 11 or 12. I've seen them in concert at the Manhattan Center with the Sylvers. My first concert. They were the heartthrobs.

[@cynthiam6082]

Lol Thea I only know new Yorkers who know of some of the groups in the 70s do you remember jimmy Briscoe and the little beavers my ebony princess

[@cynthiam6082]

Music was simply the best the early 70

[@ethelstevenslove2957]

Cynthia M Yes you're right, I'm still here in New York...We graduated from the same High School, Louis D. Brandeis......

[@Coilygirlzworld]

I fell in love with black ivory when I heard their song 'you and I' on the quiet storm 98.7 KISS FM. and this song is even better!! Thanks for sharing this.

[@ethelstevenslove2957]

When Felix Hernandez was doing the classics on Sunday he often played this great classic..... You don't hear it at all now... These guys are from New York City, Harlem.... We graduated from the same high school.. Louis D. Brandeis! Black Ivory class of 1970.... Me 1971..... I tuned in to hear this great classic..... December 21st, 2014

[@akaveeluv]

[@tkeitt50]

I luv all there songs I'm a throw back from the 70's

[@StormSong8]

I wonder if I would have liked this cut had I heard it back when I was a kid riding with my brother and sister in the '85 Caravan. My dad would play his old mix-tapes, magic would pour outta the speakers, and you could feel the love my parents shared. The way they looked at each other during Black Ivory's "You Mean Everything To Me" made that one of my favorite songs ever... until I heard this. Wow!

[@arnelevans25]

Beautiful song, I can't stop listening to it

[@larryblazeb1259]

This is a smooth ass song here !!!!

[@lindarhone2736]

I listened to Black Ivory in the 70's as a teen and know all the songs! Had a crush on Russell because of the song Daydreamer, Wishful Thinkin'! Hey , hey!

[@bettertvoptions116]

My favorite song by them!

[@lucky4724]

Me and my 1st Love use to Love Black Ivory, I still listen to them often and reminisce on young love, Blue light basemant parties and deep diping slow dances with the young honey's, ( anybody know what i'm talkin bout!!!)

[@retired42002vz]

francois kinney At 67, I most certainly do.

[@bushdada]

@William Rivers the bass player on this song is James Calloway. He is a long time bass player for Black Ivory. Check out his work on their recordings Daily News, White Wind and Mainline. Phenomenal! He is also a songwriting/production partner of Leroy Burgess and used to play for flautist Bobbi Humphrey.

[@kidsanders3913]

James Calloway is a gas! Would love to hear him on some other works as well.!

[@yug08]

His baselines were the baddest in slow jam history!

[@DonnaMomma050]

YES ME AS WELL, 60'S & 70'S IT WAS ON!!!REAL LOVE MUSIC, BY REAL WONDERFUL, TALENTED ARTIST~KNEW HOW TO DO IT UP RIGHT

[@madebybroovy]

Underrated group and song

[@orettwilliamn7174]

these are the unsong heroes these trio have i first heard these group in. Jamaica back in the 70s the radio station didn't play their music simply not because they didn't want to because they didn't no about the Jamaicans are very adverse with this soul awesome

[@elegantz1]

Likewise...saw them at Rochdale Village community center in Jamaica Queens.. 70 's.....connected with them still today...Russell Paterson.. Leroy Burgess...super cool brothers...friendly...good guys

[@mookeychase0907]

13 isn't too young I was in the first grade when these Black Ivory songs came out. My uncles,big brother cousins everybody listened to this during the 70s it was all over the radio too so as a youngin you couldn't help but to love soul music and ballads. By the time I was 13 I was a vet, Earth Wind & Fire The Isleys, Spinners, Tavares,all those groups would drop albums every year not to mention the other 8-10 great groups and soloist I didn't mention. Keep listening :0)

[@PhillyJoe34]

Dat bass!!!!

[@yug08]

JOE WOOTEN You ain’t lyin’!

My all time Black Ivory song, not sure if it was ever released as a single, and back in the day, It didn’t get the radio promotion I thought it should have.

[@Brooklynvjg]

It was released as a single in 1975 and was a top 40 hit song.

@bushdada, Thank you for the information about Bassist James Calloway. The brother is a fantastic bass guitarist. I now count Mr Calloway among my favorite bass guitarist, along with Richard Evans, Chuck Rainey, the late great Bob Babbit and Jaco Pastorious.

[@lindamiranda1952]

Love it!

[@ronaldclark8174]

This song reminds me so much like the Don McPherson led the Main Ingredient. I wonder if the writer is the same.
