This song was released in 1971. More than 45 years ago.

[@gregoryquattlebaum5435]

This song is older than that, I was 14 when this song came out, it was one of the favorite blue lights in the basement hits that came on at the parties we went to and slow dragged with a cute girl. I am 66 now but those were wonderful days. Black Ivory were like that!

I remember this song, l was just 11 years old, it is a beautiful love song. I love Black lvory, thank you for the memories and good music. Love to all kc

[@AugustineCorbin-s5y]

Real mind music for you and your baby. You're sweetheart, your jewel

[@johnpatton1473]

This music is classic, timeless. The soundtrack of our lives. We were the Brothers and Sisters blessed to be living and loving in the 70s. I was in college. I had a girl then and was young and let her get away. It seems those times have slipped away as well. Things are not as pure and cool now as they were then. Too many left turns I guess. But the jams, the parties, the guys and gals, the life we had then. We always will have the memories. And tight groups like Black Ivory are the keys to returning to those special days. They remind us. When we were hot, and we were cool. Live like you know what's up. Love hard. Take a chance. Offer your heart to someone special. Dream big. And "Don't Turn Around".

[@sowyzsewing3993]

@John Patton, Yes, Yes, Yes! I love it!

[@francinethompson8593]

Yesss sir, you already know ,I myself was blessed by God to have experienced the Era of the lovely 70s, Mann I truly miss those days and times oh no doubt. So when I want to take a stroll down memory lane I just play my wide variety of my 70s jamzs and instantly I'm in that frame of mind. Godbless us all and have a blessed day everyone.

[@ombreyarenee3826]

This was my wedding song on July 10, 1998.

[@geraldedwards3658]

This Record came out when men used to treat women like women

[@lindalove7193]

My favorite was Love is Time, but the more I listen to the rest of the songs, they remind me of college, being low income, and parties at someone's house in the neighborhood. Slow dragging with the cute guy and wonder whatever happened to him.

[@trenellwoods1668]

This is real music my goodness

[@herbertstokes2046]

After all these years (43) we still have passion and love

[@eddiesimms9301]

If this was released in 1971, I'm going to bet this came out of Philadelphia because it has a "Delfonic-Philly" sound to it, and that can ONLY mean ONE thing: It's a production of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff.....DAMN GOOD HIT!...I Love it.
