"I've Just Begun To Love You" by Dynasty

This is one of my favorite jams from the early 1980s.....very Shalamar-sounding.....

Give you more than...you bargained for girl....and I've just begun to love you....

I don't want no other....to be my lover....and I've just begun to love you.


Now I have officially woke this dead place up this morning. lol

Indeed.This song also could have been given to the Whispers.It sounds like alot of their early-80s work.

Shalamar, Dynasty, The Whispers, and Lakeside were all on Solar Records. All the groups had a similar sound except for Lakeside.

I read somewhere that the guys from Lakeside used to be worn out when they had a concert because, not only did they perform themselves, they had to be the live backup band for Shalamar and The Whispers.

Solar Records was like a mini-Motown in the early 80s.So many great bands,artists and songs.Remember Carrie Lucas?

Lakeside deserves a thread of their own lol

They certainly have enough stuff to have a box set. I forgot Midnight Star was also on Solar Records.

Carrie Lucas's Show Me Where You're Coming From was a great Tune - Classic Solar sound, too!

There was also a live double album from Solar Records from either 1979 or 1980. It contained songs like:

The Second Time Around - Shalamar
Right In The Socket - Shalamar
All The Way Live - Lakeside
And The Beat Goes On - The Whispers
I've Just Begun To Love You - Dynasty

That was just one record. I friend of mine had one of the records and he had lost the other one. He gave it to me after I was admiring it in his collection. When I got it home and played it, the entire album was scratched up to hell and back. I threw it away.

I used to LOVE this song! I especially liked the long version with the added lyrics "Girl, I feel it last-ing longer when you get stronger..." and the guitar work was great in that song. A perfect answer to the IDIOTS who think that guitar=rock sound.

The long version of this song is a must-have! I love the breakdown where you can really,really,really hear that funky bassline headbang

Ha! I LOVE THE ORG!!! I thought I was the only guy who remembered Dynasty.

My favorite tune of theirs was "Here I Am":

I've got a Heart Full of Love
And No-Body, to Call My Own...

Sounds of Los Angeles Records. What a shame they are not around anymore...
batman guitar

Some people tell me I've got great legs...
