Wish That I Can Talk To You - Sylvers

SANG IT!

(Had 2 come up with sumthin since Finess uses his CLASSIC testify! nod )



I wish that i can talk 2 u baby
So that I can let ya know (so I can let u know)
IIIII wish that I can talk 2 u baby
So that I can (so that i can let you know)
Where I stand



Leon F. Sylvers III wrote the first hit ("Wish That I Could Talk to You") for his family's singing group the Sylvers, his brother Foster Sylvers' Top Ten RB/Top 30 pop debut single "Misdemeanor," and a slew of hits for artists signed to Dick Griffey's Solar Records. the Sylvers, whose million-selling single "Boogie Fever" was a number one RB hit in March 1976 and number one pop hit in May 1976, were flippantly called "the West Coast answer to the Jackson 5."

I hope it doesnt sound weird that a 22 year old is talkin bout songs way b4 his time. I hope I am already worthy enough 2 talk about the old jamz cuz I know much much more than alot of 22 year olds 2day.
