    Hi guys, I’m a 74 years old soul music fan. I have been exclusively listening soul music since 1968. I love soul music especially harmony groups, so this song is my routine listening one. I like also 70’s soul, because back instrumentals were often full orchestra, especially in Philly soul like this.

    Asia and BJ. This should be the song you two listen to whenever you have any kind of disagreement. The two of you have a fantastic relationship, and I hope it lasts forever.
    I heard this song when I was a mere lad way back in the 2oth century during my teenage years. My only wish was to one day find someone who fits me like glove the way you two do.
    The next step is to play some romantic music. Here are a couple of suggestions.
