One Way - If You Only Knew

[@nickster0717]

I'm 53 from Detroit and listening to this song just makes me so emotional. Not that I'm some kind of punk but the melody, the arrangement, this music is from a bygone era that unfortunately was a moment in time that probably won't be circling back around. It touches you at your core. Today's music is missing this element. Blessed to have grown up in the 70's and 80's.

[@lavery0365]

Same here bro, just takes you back to when times seemed alot easier, more family & friends were around, WE NEXT........

[@stephaniedairsow5806]

I totally agree

[@swanjackson1211]

And I thank you for showing your emotions.. allowing a young gentleman like myself. To take on the light that my older generation left for me thanks.alot my friend

[@lavery0365]

Precisely my brother I know & feel just what you're speaking of, I'll be 54 this June btw.

[@mauriceholden9238]

I'm very emotional man and this song takes me way back to the 80s

[@miawilliams4615]

What every woman desires to hear from that special man!

[@SS-rh9wc]

Mia Williams I'm one of those men God bless you

[@miawilliams4615]

S S That’s great to know. God bless you, too.

[@JohnnyC718]

Where are you sexy thing!! We need you back!!! Much Love!!

[@kimberlybrabson3988]

I still want that from a great man to sing that to me!

[@kingmorris1080]

It's only a handful of us that knows that, from a man's point of view

[@deverymccain7932]

They're the most underrated group ever !

[@Mindbodyandspirit240]

Indeed they need to do an Unsung of them.

[@rogerblewett5595]

Definitely up there for sure fam 💯

[@jacobsladder6715]

Not to us old heads!

[@kingmorris1080]

And that's some real shit brother, underrated!!!!!

[@lavalefields7301]

U crazy. They legendary

[@stevedonna96891]

This by far is one of the "coldest" R&B jams ever made!!! Spotify get with the program with some of these oldies!!!! What's so hard about that????

[@kevinbyous6095]

All of One Way’s ballads hit me in the heart. I love every one of them. Man, do they bring back memories.

[@McKinleyBulldogs1]

Any person who can't get into this song has zero appreciation for TRUE slow jams. No grinding. No droppin it like its hot. No getting the eagle on. Just plain feelings being expressed! Truly one of the greatest slow jams of all time!!! Used to jam to this as a young teen growing up in Canton, Ohio. For Lovers Only program outta Cleveland.

[@gerald55andre]

Cleveland, represent! For Lovers Only was essential back in the day if you were really trying to bring to the ladies. Times like this will never exist again. Glad to have enjoyed it then.

[@anthonyknight3948]

😂I feel bro

[@anthonyknight3948]

I’m from Akron oh for lovers only was very popular back then 😢

[@josetteholland791]

80s - teen yrs, small, boring town (Alliance, Ohio), hormones running rampant, & no clue what to do about it! Enter the sweet, melodic, slow jams of ONE WAY, Heatwave, Isley Bros., Confunkshun, Rick & Tina, Dazz Band, etc = Perfect storm! GREAT TIME TO BE ALIVE!😍😍😍

[@anissajohnson9247]

I totally understand, saginaw Michigan small town everyone knew everyone 1 radio station and all the best 80's R&B hits EVER!

[@Kingkitco]

I am so proud of the times I grew up on these grooves

[@1963julien]

Black music has really lost it way since 1985. I can listen to this beautiful music all day. I am so glad that I was a young man when this gem was released.

[@jaimeb.ladyj.7532]

85 was a good year! I'm glad I value music at my young age...Only 31 lol! Came in the 🌍 brought up on good thangs!!!

[@aliciagreen2091]

Carl Skerritt I agree. Classic soul is the best. This garbage they have out now, is not real soul music. I would rather listen to the classics.

[@mar217rocks7]

It surely has and it's so sad these kids are growing up on lust and not love...

[@famousfuture]

Carl Skerritt me too man. My dad turned me on to one-way as a kid & i been hook every since. I don't think music has lost its way tho. I think the younger generation just took it a different way & put a different spend on it. All music is art & forever elvoving.

[@janellirving4625]

You are so right about that!

[@louisel9090]

Ya'all remember Don't Stop Ever Lovin' Me by One Way? Dang, I could just put these 2 songs on repeat and reminisce the day away

[@catherinewalker5290]

Two of my very favorites by them and I always play them back to back

[@marquitaharris3667]

Am witch's when you right baby!😅

[@wandasistarealevans8141]

Louise L I DO. ALL day!

[@rabbitsfoot4689]

I used to do that when this album first came out, I could not get enough of it!!

[@kimberlyburks]

Exactly

[@andraewilliams1584]

This song here is a classic! The lyrics, the instruments, the whole thing is slamming. One way ain't no joke!!!

[@tomswill9189]

TRUE

[@morrisking5822]

U know yo shit

[@kingmorris1080]

They always been like that

[@morrisking5822]

I love everything about this song, and I feel loved listening to it!!!💞

[@morrisking5822]

I love my mother for turning me out to all of these beautiful songs by One-Way, Slave, ConFunkShun, Zapp, Gap Band, Frankie Beverly, Isley Brothers, Teddy, Barry White, O'Jays

[@knutsodagreat]

this was one of my moms favorite songs. I miss her so much R.i.H Adrienne Watkins 7/7/59- 6/29/17

[@morewithles2738]

CONDOLENCES to you

[@oliviancollins2879]

It takes me back to some happy times but life has also intervened and I don't t have all of the people I enjoyed this music with either. Thank God for precious memories.

[@charayawatkins2265]

Still listening bro 😞❤️

[@ricky2brown]

Joanne was her name....I was 19 and she 28. A real woman that possessed all the gentleness, patience, respect coupled with sexuality. She played this for me while giving me a bath with her tongue and teaching a young buck how to caress and make real love to a real woman. Thank you Joanne.......

[@emiliocastaneda1921]

@musiqall thats what I'm talking about playa lol 😎 there's always that one lady who laces u up when we're young n I ain't mad at cha baby boy

[@allenp7710]

Man, i had the exact same experience. I was 18 and she was 28. She played this and schooled me. Never experienced anything close. She played this and i was done. She taught me, how to make love to a woman. Until we connected, i thought i was doing something. Memories

[@joannacromer5786]

💯

[@baltimorjones]

One way ruled the 70's and 80's in the black community. A lot of old black music is popular now but when they made the songs only black people listen to them now it's like how great they were but they never got the credit or the awards then.

[@patrickcarter1992]

One Way..Cameo..Bar kays..Dazz band..

[@morewithles2738]

This group is overdue for a Soul Train Lifetime award.

[@waynevaughn3107]

Real music that expresses true love and emotion! ✊🏽

[@TheRobertBeal]

Oh i'm about to cry reminiscing on my days in Cleveland listening to108 fm WDMT at night . I love you so much Cleveland . Warrensville for life!!!

[@alexwk9830]

[@dabphil7079]

My Dad sang this song to me when I was young. I love it so much. Haven't heard it since I was a young adult

[@fsanders2]

If we dont inherit our powerful 80s r&b , we lose our soul.

Simply classic thinking of nothing but the good times.

[@rashannbryant9671]

One of the smoothest cuts of it's time. Vocals and background are just "nasty"!

[@perezwilliams5924]

Amazing Music! Didnt appreciate it in the 80's but now im longing for this kind of substance in the music that we are lacking these days!!

[@antoinefurman1787]

I was like 16 when this hit.. It was tha shit. One Way raised me. Tha slow dance went on for ever with this ONE

[@bobbywims899]

[@mauricegreen8014]

This song says what’s in my heart when I was too shy to express a lovely young lady I soon married. We sing this every time we get.

[@TheRobertBeal]

One Way is a Motor City Band, but please believe me, Cleveland received them like they were our very own! Shoot , some of their slow jams I never heard them play in Detroit!

[@charayawatkins2265]

RIP Mommy ❤️❤️ 2020 still listening 😔

[@lsky4446]

This song got me thru a powerfully lovesick high school crush during the late 80s! I suffered desiring what I couldn't have. I often listened to this song like it was a confessional. The arrangement and sax at the end in this tune sends me to another beautiful place!
