HEAVENLY ~ Webster Lewis

This song is from The Late Great Webster Lewis album Eight For The 80's.

[@ronaldechilds956]

Prettiest song ever recorded. The background singers alone should have gotten a Grammy.

[@MsChicago63]

This is the jam of my life, summer in chi town 1980!!!!

[@lesliebaba9688]

[@louannmiller1772]

I WAS 17 AND FROM THE CHICAGO SOUTHSIDE ENGLEWOOD BABYYYY

[@ISVVVc628]

[@opinion1629]

Keep it real yall or as they say today, Keep it 💯 when this song came on over a boom box it would immediately kick off a stepping contest everywhere followed by Mr. Magic and Summer madness.

[@jhaychylla]

The moaning and groaning. Man when your lady takes you there and you feel that ,it truly is Heavenly. Thanks DJ Rogers. Rest in peace brother. Your voice was Amazing.

[@tmccor-cu5894]

oh man , this bring back memories in the 70 's & 80's in the Chi!!! just good times and music , this song is Amazing

[@angelahall7372]

I remember hearing my older brothers playing this song when I was a young teenager. I remember thinking that one day I would have a love like that when I grew up. Praise God that we are 24 years married and going strong...Heavenly indeed!

[@lovey1055]

This song should be played numerous times everyday on the radio. Webster Lewis and DJ Rogers background singers did a magnificent job on this song.

[@roderickholcombe4675]

UNDENIABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS IN THE WORLD. YOU HAVE TO BE IN LOVE TO UNDERSTAND IT. 4REAL!!

[@leedean8967]

I haven't heard this in decades. I think they played it on Howard University Radio. I loved it then and I love it now. Thanks!

[@kathygaither5746]

...to the last note.

[@jhaychylla]

LMAO!!!! Roderick, bruh...ya right. Bruh, when I first heard this song I had to take a seat and close my eyes...they were completely wet. It's THAT beautiful. Rest In Power both to Webster Lewis, the composer and the singer D.J. Rogers 🙏

[@kamaya4life]

Man!! This was my CUT!! DJ Rogers smoked this thing.. Had to have been there for this one to understand it. I think you had to have been from Chicago to know about this one

[@alvinhollins3163]

Not really !, High in the Red Rocks ! Mountains of Colorado. TStone ".

[@jhaychylla]

I can vouch for Chicago.. this song is one that is so beautiful that it makes my eyes well up....every time I hear it. That you Webster Lewis....r.i.p.

[@gregs767]

No, DC. Melvin Lindsey gave this sing it's props on 96.3 WHUR, the original Quiet Storm. DJ Rogers was also ftom DC.

[@allenstewart9823]

I'm from the chi , when this song came out if you didn't get a copy, you would have to her it on radio, and when it came you were ready to hit record button because we had no internet,

[@tommygunn2782]

Sad how many people have never had the pleasure of hearing this beautiful masterpiece.

[@ateeres80]

This song brings tears to my eyes every single time I hear it. It's so beautifully written, composed, produced, sung, ALL OF THAT!! I just get chills... RIP to both Webster Lewis and now DJ Rogers 😇🕊💙 Thank you...

[@odettapumphrey5032]

This song is so beautiful. Makes me want to cry every time I hear it. D.J. Rogers on Vocals. Truly one of the most underrated r&b vocalist of our time! Just Awesome!

[@mikshank5039]

Ikr?!! The music is so powerful , he's singing his soul out about the love he has for his woman. WHAT MUSIC TODAY EXPRESSES THAT TO THIS MAGNITUDE ? Truly an RnB classic. HEAVENLY 💘

[@lorarichmond3921]

when I was16. my 6 brothers played this song,, in the basement,, my mother had a 5bedroom house,, my baby brother John loved this song. r. I. h. baby bro John 😇😇💜✌

[@savannamartin666]

I brought this album when I was a teenager listened to the whole album. There are three songs on there, Give Me Some Emotion, The Love You Give to Me and Heavenly. I have loved this song since then. I had to search for it when I got my computer and was able to get it from a guy on LimeWire before it was shut down. I have so many copies so I make sure that I don't lose it.

[@oldcat1959]

I understand. I still have the original album. I bought it in 1980 when I was twenty years old. A guy I met told me about it and I bought it and have been a fan ever since. I might take the time and load a few of the songs up to youtube one day soon, if I can get some free time.

[@fatimafrazier5318]

Savanna Martin I was a teen as well. Nobody I know seems to remember it or like it as I did. Glad to know!!! Heavenly is 1 of my top 10 favorites of all time. I haven't been able to download it though. Blessings

[@wildflowerevat9318]

At first listen,I was mesmerized!! Now this is my favorite... Gotta listen to the others you mentioned as well! Your comment got me started 😊

[@msvickiej1126]

I remember this song also. as a teen just wondering when will he find me. and he did ... I love you Tugga, we're not together physically but one day if its meant to be, we will. yeah, you know I'm crying like a yo'baby lol ... shut up J.

[@irvingcurtis2975]

Limewire was ithelp me found many song

[@tammiedixon6788]

I was just a little girl when I 1st heard this song and it stopped me n my tracks. I didn't know at the time he was talking about beautiful love making and now that I kno I love this song even more. This song will make a grown man act right

[@robertalittlejohn4330]

Heavenly, was the song we march too at my wedding. 5/4/1980.

[@oldcat1959]

😀👍🏿👍🏿

[@davidcoleman9317]

DJ Rodgers on vocals was amazing. Webster owes him time and a half the way he sang this song. I truly love this song. Thanks guys , job well done

[@karenb2052]

I was introduced to this song from Casper of V103. He ended his steppers radio set with this song. I looked forward to it every Saturday night. The song is definitely Heavenly. Thanks Casper,

[@angelodavis4069]

Rest well to both of these legends.

[@nicholasjackson382]

I love this song. Brings back painful memories. Reminds me of a troubled and dear family member whom left this earth much too soon. May his spirit live on forever. Also may the great D.J Rogers rest in peace 🙏🏼

[@d.j.foxxxyd.j.foxxxy1063]

Oooweee yes!!!!!!!! You can't listen to this without listening to "Give me some emotion" & "The love you give to me".

[@andersonearl]

if a dj were to play this song today the youngens would not know this is a classic.. the song is timeless

[@jimmyshingle934]

It will take a short while but when it hits... It's goodbye... Thanks a lot Webster for this complete creation... Black Love... Black Music

I say the same thing, because if it wasn't for this marvelous site, absolute gems like this would be unfortunately forgotten in the sands of time.

[@michaelgray7123]

When i here this song i think about my mom and the people that i love and miss MG

[@jamsgood109]

I got the LP...30 yrs ago...This song still sound good today...

[@annpleasants9378]

2021 Im trying think if there was anyone in my past that made me feel so dam good, to make me feel so happy glowing full of love for him. And as I type these words I can think of only one man , I was 17, all grown & he was about 25. How could I forget him... I couldn't wait for the wkend , my older sis had custody of me so I lied that I stayed with a gf. The man looked like Ray Parker Jr. worked on the railroad.I was impress by his looks , smile , the clothes he wore. He had a slight N.C accent cus thats where he was from . He never tried to be sexual ly intimate with me. He just enjoyed my company. I spent nights with this man and if he was all over me it would not have been nights with him ! That was in the mid 80's. Since then I've married and divorce twice but "Squeaky" as I listen to this song, took me heavenly. The smiles he gave me . I wore this cute lil terry clothe, red & white set one day over night & he woke me up clowing around, he had it on..😂I will never forget that , we both fell out laughing.. This crap I meet today dry as hell..Everbody so dam serious today..

[@mvmediaatl]

On my best of all time. I never get tired of it.

[@odettapumphrey5032]

Just heard that D.J. Rogers made his transition today. This is my favorite by him. Unbelievable Vocals! May he Rest In Peace.

[@BROWill-vt4rf]
