I jusy saw this and had a listen. I cant believe how young I was. I remember walking in the studio with no real idea of what I was gonna sing. It just came out. Most was done in 1 take. I read the comments and often I run into people who say "Thank you Bernard, this track got me thru some hard time" When I wrote and sang these lyrics it only my intention to take people to the dance floor with a positive message. I am so happy and proud thats its done more than just make them dance. Larry Levan lives on and LIFE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL. Thank you NYC for your ears, hearts and love and groove. Bernard Fowler
Bernard Fowler one of the greatest unknown singers of his time. Right up there with The Great Fonzi Alfonso Thornton Luther Vandross Childhood friend! Ya Dig!
Great track! First time I've heard this as complete tune. I only recognise it as a result of parts of the vocals, which were sampled on various house and rave tracks in the late 80s - early 90s era. Nice to hear the original tune, quality stuff! :)
OMG this song..so so good!Although it’s 2020 now, it is so motivated. How could I find out lyrics of this song? Just searched on google but nobody mention the lyrics😭
DDRwine, you are correct. this was an error on my part. obviously, more care should have gone into making this video where the graphics are concerned. I will note this error in the Description of the video.
