ONE OF MY ALLTIME FAVORITES!!! THE PRODUCTION IS OFFF THE CHARTS! LISTEN 2 THAT SLAMMIN' BASS!! THANKS 4 POSTINS! THESE SONGWRITERS AND MUSICIANS WERE IN A CLASS ALL BY THEMSELVES!!
MAGIC.The definition of italian craziness, that's for sure. Sorry they did not support their R&B singers as they should have done. Then BB&Q band lacked visibility and remained a studio project as change. Italy is the paradise of sublissim melodies and amazing productions
Wow, does this take me back to the day of really good dance and R&B music! I used to spin this in S. Florida and the response was always great to this sound, the floor would stay packed. Great memories, thanks for the ride!
Might be final comment of one greatest underated 80s soul funk smooth groove classics by legendary BBQ before the legendary Curtis Hairston rewind to 1981 36yrs on sublime.old school forever peace.
Wow 37years on i found this brilliant underated soul funk smooth groove by the underated legendary BBQ band Time for Love from 1981 timeless classic for the brilliant underated vocals.
Listen to Luther VanDross sing lead before he broke out as a solo artist. Here's to my Cousin Varetta on her 56th Birthday today 7/9/2012 & to all of our "Wild & Crazy" times we spent in 1981 in the Astoria & Queensbridge Projects ! ! ! Feliz Cumpleanos mija ! ! ! ! ! !
Great tune. This classic was released in 1981. During which time, Smaller R&B bands were forming, focusing more so on synthesizers, thus reducing the need for horn sections.
Yes, Luther was also a backing/ session singer for many different artists and bands over the years.. alot of people do get mistaken with his voice but he's the backing vocalist on this track which is probably what they confuse:) for me, BB&Q got even better when Curtis Hairston joined the line up
I was in the 8th grade when this song was popular. I didn't know who recorded it and I had been searching for it for years. Stumbled over it listening to Tidal. Music related to the band Kleeere. Amazing!!! I had totally given up looking for it. 4/25/2020.
a truly a forgotten soul funk gem of the early 80s before the late Curtiss Hairston if you love this genre of music like i do check it out like me i love change sos band coolnotes shalamar slave bbq lynx shakatak imagination keni burke etc
Wow, all the time I thought this was Change ... the connection is Italian duo Petrus and Mauro Malavasi - songwriters and producers of Change, High Fashion and The Ritchie Family.
It amazes me how so many people who claim to hear the great Luther Vandross singing background on multiple songs by Change (by my memory, he only appeared on "Searching" and "The Glow of Love"), cannot seem to hear him on this record or on another huge BB&Q smash (On the Beat").
Sorry don't mean anything, but I must correct you ( swt32567). Luther Vandross was with the group ( CHANGE ). before he went solo. The lead singer of this song is ( IKE FLOYD ) must give credit where credit is due. Great song love this group.
Who can correct and complete the lyrics? - Time for love, try forever Time for love, try forever (nothing is life better) Time for love, try forever Time for love, try forever (I'm gonna try forever) Sometime you drive me crazy, I've been trying everywhere Just to find myself a lady Who'd be fool enough to care, I've tried so hard to reason With the people I find But they never seem to listen Ain't got time to waste my time. I keep running (running) Wondering which direction now I guess I'll make for some where On this long and stormy road I keep running (running) Every day got to find my place where I belong I've got to keep on trying Time for love, try forever Time for love, try forever (no, ain't gonna stop no, no, no) Time for love, try forever (nothing in life is better) Time for love, try forever I'm tired of this confusion I've gotta break away Face to face with an illusion Of the games that people play, I only need somebody Who can share this heart of mine Must be someone else who needs to know If love is here to find I keep running (running) Don't know where to make for now Keep following this dream That I've been dreaming all my life I keep running (running) Oh, every day you tell myself "it can't be long", I've got to keep on trying Time for love, try forever (and I just, and I just, I just can't quit girl, no) Time for love, try forever Time for love, try forever Time for love, try forever (no, ain't gonna stop no, no, no) Time for love, try forever (nothing in life is better) Time for love, try forever (Paul Slade)
A chic clone - along with Change, Kleer and a few other bands. but it was very classy disco music, that was user friendly, unlike the crap that comes out now.
I have to say that song gives me strong Change vibes, seeing as that song sampled this song and the B.B. & Q. Band and Change had the same producing team. It all makes sense to me somewhat.
Even in 2024
If it moves funk
Timeless masterpiece
Brilliant classic Soul funk track by the legendary BBQ band from 1981 Time for love even in 2023 Sounds fresh timeless
@francishodge320 I'm still feelin' nothing but positive vibes on this old school jam in February 2024.
Wow..That's lovely Bass playing!....oh yes...😍😍😍😍🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃. Nothing like the 70s 80s...Man I miss that era...Real music man!!!...
When you hear stuff like this, memories just come flooding back, simply wonderful times.
Rip Luther Vandross. A few months later Never too much was released and the rest is history.
OMG..he is wearing that bass out on that chorus!!!!!
True indeed 🔥 🔥
I saw them in the 70's when I was in college with the Spinners doing this song. The bass player went off
Davide Romani's bass line on this one is probably one of the most effective and cleverest bass lines ever! Pure genius.
Partially stolen from Chics Good times on the chorus
A fantastic bassline by Davide Romani on this track, one of the best ever...
BB&Q Band was Italian and Afro American funk group based out of Italy and NYC...
Takes me back to my 80s clubbing days 👌
ONE OF MY ALLTIME FAVORITES!!! THE PRODUCTION IS OFFF THE CHARTS! LISTEN 2 THAT SLAMMIN' BASS!! THANKS 4 POSTINS! THESE SONGWRITERS AND MUSICIANS WERE IN A CLASS ALL BY THEMSELVES!!

Chic inspired, Change producers behind it, my other favorite from this group after "On the Beat".
Wow, does this take me back to the day of really good dance and R&B music! I used to spin this in S. Florida and the response was always great to this sound, the floor would stay packed. Great memories, thanks for the ride!

I was in the 8th grade when this song was popular. I didn't know who recorded it and I had been searching for it for years. Stumbled over it listening to Tidal. Music related to the band Kleeere. Amazing!!! I had totally given up looking for it. 4/25/2020.
Very amazing bb&qband 😘
PREACH !!!!
To the Old schoolers Change is one favorite 80s soul funk classic bands BBQ are up there all the time iconic forgotten 80s soul funk classic classics
a truly a forgotten soul funk gem of the early 80s before the late Curtiss Hairston if you love this genre of music like i do check it out like me i love change sos band coolnotes shalamar slave bbq lynx shakatak imagination keni burke etc
Considering that Mauro Malavasi was the mastermind of both BB&Q Band and Change ,this top tune sounds more like a Change song , Great Tune anyway !!!
Love both these bands and never knew it was one guy behind them. Looked him up and apparently he wrote for High Fashion too! How interesting
Makes sense why This song and feeling Lucky lately are one of my favs from this era.
That explains the "Chic-esque" like vocals.
like i said it was me not my brother Thomas it was me his older brother Francis a big thankyou to him ..80s soul funk lives 4 ever
Old school brilliant early 80s smooth soul funk classic by the brilliant BBQ Band Time for Love
Perfect funk
Wow, all the time I thought this was Change ... the connection is Italian duo Petrus and Mauro Malavasi - songwriters and producers of Change, High Fashion and The Ritchie Family.
I was thinking the same thing about this group,good musical ears think alike,Lol
W B L S when you hear - sound of New York!
Da Bomb 💣💣
This is what Luther Vandross's music from "Better Love" was sampled from.
Luther is featured on track but as background vocalist.
Got that Change sound,right?
It amazes me how so many people who claim to hear the great Luther Vandross singing background on multiple songs by Change (by my memory, he only appeared on "Searching" and "The Glow of Love"), cannot seem to hear him on this record or on another huge BB&Q smash (On the Beat").
Sorry don't mean anything, but I must correct you ( swt32567). Luther Vandross was with the group ( CHANGE ). before he went solo. The lead singer of this song is ( IKE FLOYD ) must give credit where credit is due. Great song love this group.
Me too---LOL! I was thrown off by the fact that Luther sang lead on this!
Here in the Summer of 2024?
I notice Steely Dan used a lot of these musicians and vocalists
Who can correct and complete the lyrics? -
Time for love, try forever
Time for love, try forever (nothing is life better)
Time for love, try forever
Time for love, try forever (I'm gonna try forever)
Sometime you drive me crazy,
I've been trying everywhere
Just to find myself a lady
Who'd be fool enough to care,
I've tried so hard to reason
With the people I find
But they never seem to listen
Ain't got time to waste my time.
I keep running (running)
Wondering which direction now
I guess I'll make for some where
On this long and stormy road
I keep running (running)
Every day got to find my place where I belong
I've got to keep on trying
Time for love, try forever
Time for love, try forever (no, ain't gonna stop no, no, no)
Time for love, try forever (nothing in life is better)
Time for love, try forever
I'm tired of this confusion
I've gotta break away
Face to face with an illusion
Of the games that people play,
I only need somebody
Who can share this heart of mine
Must be someone else who needs to know
If love is here to find
I keep running (running)
Don't know where to make for now
Keep following this dream
That I've been dreaming all my life
I keep running (running)
Oh, every day you tell myself "it can't be long",
I've got to keep on trying
Time for love, try forever (and I just, and I just, I just can't quit girl, no)
Time for love, try forever
Time for love, try forever
Time for love, try forever (no, ain't gonna stop no, no, no)
Time for love, try forever (nothing in life is better)
Time for love, try forever
(Paul Slade)
andrey novox 3:17 time to keep on trying ♪♫♬

Terry Silverlight plays drums on this track as he does on most, if not the entire album.
+Terry Silverlight Did you ever meet Jacques Fred Petrus?
Jacques Fred Petrus was not the most public person
Re Asperaaaa
Why don't the radio play music like this anymore majority of the music today Is straight trash
@dwayne4576 You got that right!! Nothin' but love for THE OLD SCHOOL!!
This Is Not Luther RIP This Is Ike Floyd
