My dad sang this song to my mom, whose name is Joanne, right up until the very end on her death bed. It's been 34 years, and it took just about that long for me to be able to listen to this beautiful song all the way through. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Mother. We miss you every single day❤

I know the feeling my friend. My father asked me to play his song on his death bed . . . not an artist you will know because it's a local accordeon player. It has been 7 years this Feb the 2nd 2024. I still can't handle to hear that song. Maybe one day . . . love from the Netherlands.

@@tessy1111 Thank you my friend. I have so many beautiful memories even after my father passed. He came to us many times over the periode of one year, I can tell you stories you wouldn't believe but that will take to much time. However, I will tell you about the last time my father came to say goodbye exactly one year after his passing. My wife had a good realtionship with my father but due to many unforeseen evens, my wife and I were separated for 3 years when my father died. Long story short, she wasn't there when he passed She always felt sad about that. We came back together a year after my father left us and she told him she missed him and we cried together. My wife asked him to blow out the candle and show her that he was fine. BOn that exact moment, both candles on the table went out. This was a very intense moment that we hold dear in our hearts. After this happened I felt his presence (that was with me for a year) leave us. But this time it didn't feel wrong or bad. We felt he had to move on . . . Since that moment we felt that things were fine. Even the natural fear of dying (that most people have) was gone you know. When 2020 hit and the "thing" they rolled out in 2021, I felt that my father came back, he protected us. I can't talk about this because the YT algorithym will delete this post if I do, but we now know there is life after this life. A better life . . . believe me.

My daughters are tan skinned black and mex. and native american. they go to an ALL white school with a small percentage of black children. I teach her the best I can about loving her hair her skin her lips...shes freakin beautiful. When I look at Lauren hill and compare her to women in the industry...laurens skin hair eyes lips...flawless. beautiful.real beauty. in the midst of a white world....its important we teach our children of mixed races whatever you wanna call it....teach them to love themselves amongst white people. Teach them that they are beautiful with their skin and hair especially. Both my girls are completely natural. No heat no weave no nothing. because my mom didnt teach me to appreciate my hair she always straightenened it so I grew up hating my curly hair though others would compliment it all the time, I never learned it. never learned to train it and appreciate what it can do and how unique it is. idk why im saying all this maybe someone needs to hear it.its important to teach children the truth about race and color,history and whats going on now. My mom who is native american always corrects me when I teach my girls about the corrupt justice system etc. my 9 year old is on board though,shes too mature for her age. She notices and notices that the world is not rooting for brown skinned people of any race. but in the end yall..with CHRIST JESUS....we are the chosen genenration the warriors the Queens and Kings that are the least here on the earth but the greatest in the Kingdom of God.

This is one of the underrated songs of the band.the lyrics are classical romanticisms that could rival Shakespearian age.

[@SOULSEER12]

Hey Matt, I just wrote something similar today. You're right Dude. Unfortunately, So Right! "I think that this around the time that America's Innocence began to be lost. In regards to Pop Culture any way. We're full on Violent, Depraved, Drug Addicts at this point,& waiting for the other shoe to drop. It simply sucks! God's calling us back soon. So, hold tight to what's right. Prayers for everyone."

[@jean-erictateia3273]

@lionelrichie.- Good morning! Sir. It is a Pride to exchange with You. Yesterday evening, I watched a Video of You and our dear Diana Ross, a memorable Duo on the Song "Endless Love", a delicious moment suspended in Time and space that will undoubtedly remain in the hearts and memories of all those who were present at this exceptional evening. I text you from a small island located in the Indian Ocean, a French department called "LA REUNION", it is not very far from the big island "MADAGASCAR", below. How is it that a personality such as You may be interested in an innocuous comment on KZbin? In any case, it gave me enormous pleasure just as once, I had contact with Anita BAKER, another Great Lady and important Artist in the world of Song. I wish you the Best in Life as well as to all those who have given a lot of their person and raised this Artistic Expression that is the song at the level which is its, today... in AMERICA and in the Whole World. We all need Love and Dreams. So on behalf of all, I say “Thank you!”

[@garyhornsby304]

[@TheRealNewBlackMusic]

Kool & the Gang was always our inspiration from our very beginning in 1974 we always looked to kool and the gang to see what they were doing and tried to emulate them. I'm sure they don't know or realize how many musicians they influenced. I would not be the music producer and musician that I am now without Kool & the Gang.

[@rachelectroDC-84]

You couldn't pick a better inspiration than these legends! I never quite grasped how insanely versatile they are until recently, and it is just unbelievable. They could flow from one genre or decade to another with no problem, and own each era. Just saw them in Atlantic City this past February, and I don't think I sat down once. I clapped so hard my palm had a bruise the next day! I know we've lost some original members, but let me just say: if you're playing with Kool and the Gang in any capacity, in any era, you better be at the top of your game. And these musicians were. Pure magic, that show! 👑✨
