These guys are from Baltimore. I talked to 4 of the 5 of them this year. I grew up with their main Lead Singer Lee Pitman, and their Bass Herman Gainer. I was good friends with the whole group which also included Freddie Harper, Bobby Guy and Kenny Sawyer (who wrote many of their songs). I used to hang around with these guys in the 70s when they were doing cabarets around the Baltimore-Washington area. They are all still alive but do not sing together anymore. Lee leads it, Kenny wrote it.
On March 20, 2020, after a lengthy illness, Mr. Lee Pittman, whose angelic voice is so prominently featured on this song, joined the ancestors. About two weeks before he departed this earth, I asked him if he had fond memories of the recording session that produced this song. He did. I asked how many takes it took to lay it down. He smiled and said, "Just one." I was privileged to share the stage with Lee, several times, and for that , I am eternally grateful, but mostly, I am glad that I got to know the man behind the sound. A man that I was introduced to musically in 1973; the year of this songs release, (I was 13 years old), and personally, when I was about 35. Please, remember him kindly and keep his music alive.
Thank you, thank you brother for shedding light on this B E A U T I F U L song and title that I just stumbled on yesterday. Even though I heard three brothas krooning it (acapella) walking the concrete corridors of a State Penn, in 1977. I just thought they made it up on-the-fly. But low and behold, ironically, from time-to-time, I would "try n sing" to (myself), a small snippet of what I remembered "..,though the first time I met you, love was such a silly game." Rest in "Soul Heaven," Lee Pittman. Again, thanks, Bro. Banks.
In the year 2000, Felix Hernandez used to play this frequently on his "Rhythm Revue" program here in NYC/NJ, and when that flute would come on - da-da-DA-da-da-da - it honestly felt like flowers blooming in Spring. I LOVED this song, and I could never remember the name of it. I've been looking for it forEVER. This is my first time hearing it since 2000, it just came up on my TH-cam feed. I can only imagine the memories it must bring back for someone who was old enough in 1973 to hear it on the radio, since I was 3 years old. Thank you for posting this, and my sincere condolences for the loss of your friend. He was a wonderful singer.
This is pure harmony. Ecstasy mix of vocalization.Remarkable group. The music industry slept on Tomorrow's Promise. Everyone listening to them knows they were excellent vocalists.
My grandfather is James "Kenny" Sawyer from Baltimore MD. He actually wrote this song and is one of the members of Tomorrows Promise. My grand father loved to sing in church. Growing up I would always hear family tales about how He was a celebrity back in the 70's but I later found out that it was true. He never really spoke about the group and was a very private person in fact all of us are. My father would tell me all the stories about how he used to see his dad James Sawyer on TV as a child. It's just amazing how u can find out things that u may have never knew. Some of the group members came to my grandfather's viewing and they shared their memories about the old days when they were in the group (Tomorrows Promise). The music that they made will live on. -AJ
AJ Davoice Taylor I knew your grandfather, we were friends. We had loss contact for years but I got in touch with him a couple years before he passed. Kenny was talented and we had many laughs together. Your grandfather was a good guy.
It's January 2020 and I am STILL listening to this jam right here. I am partial to the 70s, and believe they birthed some of the best ballads ever heard for any and all time. This one is wayyyyyyyyyyy up there! Who with me?!?!?!
W/o girl, your sweet, your fine, you're everything! Tomorrow's Promise! Whata smashin hit when this came out n 1973! Songs had so much feelings back n the.70s! There'll never be better music n the era of the 70's!
Can't remember whether I threw my two cents in on this one before, but when you're this bad you deserve two cents more LOL. And you better believe THIS is THAT jam. Incredible, powerhouse performance that only comes around once in a lifetime. ......as we say: They KILT this jam. Always worth a run it back again whenever you groove it. In my world Old Skool is never far away, By the way, Glenn Jones turns it on, on his 2006 release, Forever: Timeless R & B Classics. His version is close. Well hey, it is Glenn Jones. Old Skool Rules.
Oh my goodness does this song bring back memories..... I'm a MEGA fan of this group. I was in my early teens when I first heard this song and was hooked the moment the needle touch the record. Those who are in my age group know what I'm referring to when I say "needle". Thank you so very much for adding this priceless gem.
David Church from Cherry Hill, Dolphin street, and McClean Blvd at North avenue agree 100% great music including the great Baltimore Whatnauts, Soft tones and Frankie and the Spindells and the Damon Otis Harris led Impact (Vandals)
When a big change occurs, there are two sides. The side that changes and the other side that changed in order to create the big change! In the universal order, there is a reason for everything, every event and every emotion...
Youre not alone, although it may feel like you are . Just dont isolate yourself and life will find you again. Keep your heart open, the power and majesty of love will fill the empty space if you let it.
Lyrics to You’re Sweet, You’re Fine, You’re Everything Baby when I met you Love was such a silly game From the first time that I saw you I haven’t been the same O o you taught me how to care Made sure your love was there Catered to my every, every need Blew my mind, you did, indeed You’re sweet, you’re fine, you’re everything, to me, You’re sweet, you’re fine, you’re everything, to me, What is it you do to me, Oh oh oh mere words cannot explain My whole world seems a rhapsody It’s heaven just to call your name O o you gave me love so pure Even time can’t endure Made up your man out of words Who never thought in real life could deserve Oh oh You’re sweet, you’re fine, you’re everything, to me, You’re sweet, you’re fine, you’re everything, to me, You’re a once in a lifetime yes you are You my sunshine my brightest star You’re the four seasons of my year You’re everything and I love you dear Oh oh You’re sweet, you’re fine, you’re everything, to me, yes you are You’re sweet, you’re fine, you’re everything, to me, yes you are
The amazing thing about this recording is that the second you have an influence pegged, it sends you into another one. Ultimately, it IS a true original!
Lee Pitman is an incredible vocalist. I was at the session he did with Pieces of a Dream. A lady came in from another session and just couldn't stop crying because his voice was sooooo great!!!
This is SOUL at it's FINEST ! This pierced my heart ! Black music is like no other ! Please bring back the feeling. This music was revered around the world.
I love this song. My mom played this song and many others every day all day growing up. Her music catalog was crazy! She is still playing her music till this day❤
Is so sad that such beautiful music has gone and will never come back. Anyway we are delighted that we heard the music before it disappeared from the intertaiment scene.
I grew up in the Bronx, NY, back in the 70's & 80's and man oh man , this was the joint back then. this is music. Unlike videos today, years ago brothers and sistah's of all colors sang their hearts out with what they had, and what they had is lacking today (talent)..thank you for posting.
Autumn Sapphire i was 14 when I first heard this song at a redlight basement party. i remember the 500,5000 grind. Delancy st shirkskins taylor mades ltiaila knits playboys. swissup & koolaid mostly respect for the babes & each other early 1970s PEACE
I'm a 68 baby and this song take me back to my childhood sneaking beers and shots jamming with the grown ups they upstairs we the kids downstairs partying drinking LMAO we was bad as hell but good song top 60 on M.D. charts
Wow! 💟💟 I don’t know how I missed this beautiful throwback, it is gorgeous. That silky lead vocalist, and those smooth sultry background vocals got me melting. Truly a song that needs to be heard again and again. 🎤🎤🎹💜💜👏🏽👏🏽
What a solid gold! That's my first time listening to this, and with my 28 years old, so much to come yet, so much love to live. Glad to find that man, thank you Danny!
You can cry if you want, you can dance if you want - or you can just be consumed by the beautiful memories and our good fortune to have known such a song as this. :-)
This recording brings back emotions of yesterday. I was 13 when this record topped the charts on Baltimore radio stations. Thank you for bringing it back. It makes me think of all the good artists we had that cannot be replaced. The lyrics explain how sweet and wonderful women were to men back then. Love it.
I love those smooth Tenors. I grew up listening (Idolizing) to "Freddie Kelly" and "The Continental Four" singing after parties and on street corners on the Acres back in the day. Everyone has his own unique style no two are the same. It was a badge of honor to have that unique first tenor. We studied every one of them and developed our own style by taking a curl here and some verbrado over there .
Has a touch of that ENCHANTMENT SOUND~GLORIA~~I REMEMBER THIS ! back in the day! another group, brighter side of darkness ,smash ,,love jones..the 70's was killing it on the radio with smooth soulful love songs!! this is a true STANDOUT!!
Wow!!!!!! This is soooooo beautiful. I have been searching for this copy for years and I can not locate anything close to it. How can I order this or down load my own copy? No music have it available to include Amazone.
Thank You AJ Davoice Taylor for those wonderful comments about your Grandfather James " Kenny " Sawyer being the Writer of such a Beautiful Song and a Member of this group " Tomorrows Promise " !
Thank you for uploading this gem! It brought back the carefree days of my youth where every day was spent listening to WWRL, memorizing all the lyrics of every song, and guessing the top 16 songs every week. Hank Spann, Gary Byrd, Frankie Crocker...thank God for the magic of music!!!!
I too am the seed of one of the members of the group and went to so many of the rehearsals and shows I feel like one of the members. I knew and still know quite members of the group and band and their children as well. KENNY was really reserved and a great guy LEE was my GOD FATHER FREDDIE was a comedian and jokester along with Herman 😂😂😂😂 so many stories …. I could go on for days
I am from Baltimore and do remember this group and song with all my heart. What a great song to slow dance at those great house parties and had a wonderful time. Real music
You have to love this song. He starts off saying (Baby when I met you love was just a silly game) that’s love . Shout out from Boston. I remember those days.
I can remember slow-dancing to this gem at house parties as a teen. Such crystal-clear lead vocals. The arrangement was in that expansive, very-romantic Philly soul vein that was dominant at that time, as the torch was smoothly being passed from Motown, to Gamble-Huff-Thom Bell. Sublime.
It's such a blessing to have this music to take away the stress and sometimes hopeless feelings current events bring even if only for fleeting moments, I am so glad I was around when this sound was created and dominated the air waves.....Praise God for this gift He's bless us with He truly works in mysterious ways....to God be the glory.... just sayin!!!!
I Always Loved This Song,. The First Time I Remember Hearing It I Was 10 Years Old, On James Browns Baltimore Radio Station 1360 Am Webb On A Saturday Afternoon, Eddie Cee Was The Radio Personality, Good Ole Days!!
I was thirteen when I first heard that song. Then was in my thirties, I got a chance to sing with him for several years. He got better with time. He is an amazing brother.

I love these guys. My favorite song. Powerful song
Nice history 🎉

Damit, I’ve been looking for this song for years. Back in the day at the basement party grinding with the red light on!!!
Well I'm glad you finally found it! This one right here melts my heart.
I sure miss grinding with the red lights or the purple lights it did not matter. Those was some really funky good times.!!!
If I could go back in time this is it the basement parties grinding on a girl that's your crush on somebody else's crush dam I miss them days 🤔
💯
Yes sir@@DannyLinden
Folks from the old School era still love this sound. Music is not like this anymore. It never will be...
Unfortunately not! So much in this world have been "DUMBED-DOWNED", at the expense of the younger generations!!!
I'm so blessed that I lived through this beautiful musical era.
I agree!!💕💕
Yes me too. My teen era had great music and nice house parties
The Music 🎶 In this Era was 🔥
Sadly, Mr Lee Pittman passed away earlier in 2020 after a lengthy illness. A gifted vocalist and an excellent human being. He will be missed.

Lyrics to You’re Sweet, You’re Fine, You’re Everything
Baby when I met you
Love was such a silly game
From the first time that I saw you
I haven’t been the same
O o you taught me how to care
Made sure your love was there
Catered to my every, every need
Blew my mind, you did, indeed
You’re sweet, you’re fine, you’re everything, to me,
You’re sweet, you’re fine, you’re everything, to me,
What is it you do to me,
Oh oh oh mere words cannot explain
My whole world seems a rhapsody
It’s heaven just to call your name
O o you gave me love so pure
Even time can’t endure
Made up your man out of words
Who never thought in real life could deserve
Oh oh You’re sweet, you’re fine, you’re everything, to me,
You’re sweet, you’re fine, you’re everything, to me,
You’re a once in a lifetime yes you are
You my sunshine my brightest star
You’re the four seasons of my year
You’re everything and I love you dear
Oh oh You’re sweet, you’re fine, you’re everything, to me, yes you are
You’re sweet, you’re fine, you’re everything, to me, yes you are
Thanks so much for share, always want to know the words to this song. So beautiful!!

I love the dedication at the end for all of NYC R&B radio stations. That was very classy. I miss all of them.
A timeless classic!

This song takes me back to the Martin Luther king center. In Paterson, New Jersey, the girls were so fine. Oh man, it was beautiful.
Wow!! This song still brings tears to my eyes - so sweet, fine, and everything . . .
Beautiful voice, great ear for harmonies and solo work. I thank God I was born during the eras of creative musical endeavors
That jam can me out in 1973. I was in the 10th grade. They don’t make music like that anymore!
Thank you for uploading this gem! It brought back the carefree days of my youth where every day was spent listening to WWRL, memorizing all the lyrics of every song, and guessing the top 16 songs every week. Hank Spann, Gary Byrd, Frankie Crocker...thank God for the magic of music!!!!
Great memories of Winter of 1973!!
I too am the seed of one of the members of the group and went to so many of the rehearsals and shows I feel like one of the members. I knew and still know quite members of the group and band and their children as well. KENNY was really reserved and a great guy LEE was my GOD FATHER FREDDIE was a comedian and jokester along with Herman 😂😂😂😂 so many stories …. I could go on for days
I am from Baltimore and do remember this group and song with all my heart. What a great song to slow dance at those great house parties and had a wonderful time. Real music
I'm going to buy this song!
You have to love this song. He starts off saying (Baby when I met you love was just a silly game) that’s love . Shout out from Boston. I remember those days.
I can remember slow-dancing to this gem at house parties as a teen. Such crystal-clear lead vocals.
The arrangement was in that expansive, very-romantic Philly soul vein that was dominant at that time, as the torch was smoothly being passed from Motown, to Gamble-Huff-Thom Bell. Sublime.
James Sawyer like Phil Perry had that great haunting range. Melvin Lindsey WHUR 96.3 The real Quiet Storm...
Check out Phil Perry when he was the lead singer of the Montclairs. Awesome group.

It's such a blessing to have this music to take away the stress and sometimes hopeless feelings current events bring even if only for fleeting moments, I am so glad I was around when this sound was created and dominated the air waves.....Praise God for this gift He's bless us with He truly works in mysterious ways....to God be the glory.... just sayin!!!!
