This Is How We Do The Old To The New...Thursdays

Sometimes... It's about a song...

Today's pick is the Ojays classic "Cry Together." Am I the only one who thinks there's something a little bit sexy about a guy who can allow himself to be vulnerable enough to shed a tear or two? Especially a guy who is caring enough to shed a tear because his woman is crying... Now I'm not talking about some whining and childish temper tantrum throwing brother like Kanye West when he doesn't win an award. But I think y'all know what I mean. Anyway, that's why this song and the beat has been recycled so much... it's so romantic... :-)

I couldn't find the Ojays version alone on You Tube. But I did find the remake by Prophet Jones and a nice mix of the Ojays, Lil Mo, JA RULE, and The Diplomats. So enjoy!

"Cry Together" Mix of Various Versions by the O’Jays, Lil Mo, Ja Rule, The Diplomats

Very cool songs.

(And I'm still digging the new look!)

bettye griffin said...

No doubt about it, old school music still reigns supreme. That's why singers keep covering the old stuff!

Love those O'Jays.

It's about time Madame! Smiling...
I love this too, and I love a man who can shed a tear or two at the right time, especially a man who can and has taken care of manly business aforehand...giggling...

smooches,
angelia

Don said...

Lyfe Jennings has a song where he talks about crying being okay as well.

With that said, man, I love to hear the OJays sing this song. That is a very beautiful song.

Most of the new guys are sampling from old music. P Diddy got famous for doing it.

Eddie Levert has a sexy voice and he could sing or cry and make the record sound good. I loved the lyrics of this song.

Poetic Genesis said...

Love the songs!

Funny thing is...when I see a man cry, I don't even know how to react. Been conditioned to think it's wrong...though I know it's not

I'm getting better with it

Great post!

Don said...

Sheila, I love the lyrics as well.

Gwyneth Bolton said...

Ann ~ I'm still digging the new look too... :-) You still rock!

Bettye ~ Yes, sometimes I really think all of the really great songs have really already been written... And the O'Jays... an amazing group...

Angelia ~ I know I was late. I have a cold and it has a sista out. LOL.

Don ~ I have to check out Lyfe Jennings. I haven't heard a lot of his stuff. I like his voice.

Shelia ~ I know, right! And Eddie Levert's voice. Wow. I love the lyrics of this song too.

Genesis ~ I think we've all been conditioned to think that way. You aren't the only one.

That's it, Gwyneth, I'm getting my dad a Best of the O'Jays CD for Christmas so I can steal it they way I used to do with his cassette tapes. You bring back memories, LOL.

BTW, I love the new look of the blog! Where have I been that I'm jus seeing this?

Kimberly Kaye Terry said...

Gwyneth! I HEART your new look!! This is all kinds of ways hot, mami!

Love the music too. I also like to see a strong man shed a tear, it's soooo romantic, sexy even. Especially if it's in a really over the top sexy scene. Hmmmm, the lovin' is so good...ol' boy had to shed a tear *big grin*

I think I'm gonna tool around your website for a minute and check out all the goodies ;)

Have a great weekend, chica!

Gwyneth Bolton said...

Farrah ~ Yes, the old get a gift we can all enjoy trick! I'm like that one. Who doesn't love a win/win? Glad you like the new blog look. Ann Aguirre hooked me up! She rocks! :-)

Kimberly ~ Girl! You ain't neva lied! LOL. In fact I can think of a more perfect or sexy time to see a tear in a man's eye. I should have known you would come up with the most ideal situation. ;-) The loving was so good it brought the man to tears. Yeah, I need to write one of those scenes. Mmm hmm... Glad you like the new look, girlfriend. I puffy-heart-love it myself... :-)

Kimberly Kaye Terry said...

or he wants a sniff...just a sniff, please baby please, of that sweet stuff...LOL! I am SOOO going to have to beat you to writing that in a scene, LOL!!!!

Okay, off to go back to finishing my lurve scene. I left my heroine tied up, once again, this time to a pole somewhere in Alaska, wearing nothing but a fur-covered thong...teehee

Have a sexy weekend, lady!!

Gwyneth Bolton said...

Girl, I'm gonna write my scene right now. LOL. Let me hurry up... :-)

Cool!

Haven't been able to stop by in a while. I love your new look. ;-)

Best,
Paz

Gwyneth Bolton said...

Thanks, Paz! Great to "see" you!

Emma Petersen said...

I really love O'Jays. I haven't been able to listen to remakes of classics. I heard someone tried to remake Lenny William's Because I Love You and I was quite distressed.
Love the new look. I know I should be writing but I'm now on iTunes downloading the O'Jays. Le sigh. I may need an intervention.

Gwyneth Bolton said...

Emma,

Well... maybe the O'Jays will give the muse a jumpstart. LOL. Its funny the things that keep us from writing, huh? I know I'm in trouble when the laundry start to look like it would be fun to do...

I'm with you on some remakes not cutting it... It helps when the song is great. But not always...

Gwyneth
