Today's "Feel Good" Song of the Day Is.....

"Caravan of Love" by the Isley Brothers. Does anybody remember and dig this song as much as I do? The reason why I love this song is because it sings about love and unity (something this world really needs right now). Here are the lyrics to refresh your memory, in case you forgot.

Caravan Of Love by The Isley Brothers

Ooh...ooh...ooh..
Ooh...ooh...ooh..

Are you ready for the time of your life
It's time to stand up and fight
(It's alright) It's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
Hand in hand we'll take a caravan
To the motherland

One by one we're gonna stand with the pride
One that can't be denied
(Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up)
From the highest mountain, and valley low
We'll join together, with hearts of gold

Now the children of the world can see
There's a better way for us to be
The place where mankind was born
Is so neglected and torn... torn apart

Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love (Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love

I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know

We'll be living in a world of peace
In a day when everyone is free
We'll bring the young and the old
Won't you let your love flow from your heart

Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love (Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love

I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know

Now the children of the world can see
There's a better for us to be
The place where mankind was born
Is so neglected and torn... torn apart

Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love (Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love

Are you ready for the time of your life
(Are you ready, are you ready)
Are you ready for the time of your life
(Are you ready, are you ready)

Come go with me
(Are you ready, are you ready)
Come go with me
(Are you ready, are you ready)

Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love (Are you ready, are you ready)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love (Are you ready, are you ready)

Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love (Are you ready, are you ready)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love (Are you ready, are you ready)

that's one of those songs that you have to be "in the mood" to listen to. It gets stuck in your head. headache

I looooove that tune, great pick! clapping

there was also a (rather boring) accapella cover version by the Housmartins, that became a BIG hit in Europe, mid 80ees I think. I guess most people over here won't even know the original recording... confused

lol Does anybody else here think that the melody for Gregory Abbot's " Shake You Down" was a carbon copy of " Caravan Of Love"?

Gregory Abbott over Isley? hmmm.. depends for what u need'em wink

musicwise he was not exactly an innovator... at least someone should have had the guts to steal his DX7 standard modules before letting him somewhere even near a recording studio... lol even back in '86 this was well... bored saying this his output still sounds better than most standard crap released today neutral
