    The first band member's voice you hear speaking in this song belongs to Wilbur Epps, who passed away yesterday. He worked for me and we became good friends outside of work. I used to love picking his brain about the famous singers he knew and performed with in his younger years. He had a hilarious story about playing in a pickup basketball game against The Jackson 5. Wilbur was a true original. His smile (which was constant) was infectious. He will be truly missed. Rest easy Wilbur Epps. Till we meet again.

    When I listen to today's popular music, I wonder why it doesn't grab me like 70s classic music. Then I listen to this jam and it hits me - today's music doesn't have the beautiful intro and storytelling like this one has. The Chi-Lites were famous for that style also. I miss this shit!

    Ralph Eskridge is still singing with local bands in Minneapolis and St paul. He is in the middle of this picture. His high falsetto voice is just as smooth as it was when he was in High School. He coined the phrase "Love Jones" which will be in our lexicon forever. These young men from Chicago did their thing.

      Sheik by Gianne ...Yes when Chicago was a place where good things could be done . Now a wasteland of mayhem , murder and danger because people hate black People because of the most beautiful soulful people we are . We have to have music live this deep in us . It would be no way to live in a America without ‘ Our Legacy ‘ of the richest WORLDWIDE !

      At that time back then, in the shadows of the drug scene, when addicts badly needed a "Fix" they would say that they were Jonesin'. So The Brighter Side of Darkness (vocal group) used this analogy "Love Jones" making a reference to being love sick.

She had the biggest afro in my city. Ohh the times. Long ass station wagon, crowded family reunions with pounds of meat grilling, 100 degrees with tank tops and bell bottom pants, sloppy kisses on the cheeks from aunts, fist to the arm from uncles, church every sunday with food after service downstairs, deacons smoking joints in the parking lot awe mann😭😭

    This song expresses what a person will experience when they are madly, head over heels in love. A Love Jones can be a man or woman. The heart doesn't discriminate. Be true to your emotions and share what you are feeling. If not, somebody else will. Enough said.

    It is 1972 all over again....the lights to my girlfriend's apartment is set very low, and a small group of girls and boys are dancing to this song, actually what we call grinding, holding each other and kissing, well you know, and I am 18 years old. If not this song but a long list of others sends me back in time the year 1971, 72, 73, 74, 75

    Most young people today are tone deaf. Like everything today they have accepted and grown up with everything not of high quality. It's a shame they never experienced real music, like this great 70's soul group. Music should uplift the spirit and inspire. The utter noise they peddle for music today is just horrendous and very destructive.
