The Stylistics - You make feel brand new (video & audio edited) HQ

For my last Music Interlude song of today, I chose a great one from 1974 by the fabulous Stylistics... Here is some added information:

"You Make Me Feel Brand New" is a 1974 single by the Philadelphia soul group The Stylistics. The song was written by Thom Bell and Linda Creed. Stylistics tenor Airrion Love starts out the song and then alternates with Russell Thompkins, Jr.

An R&B ballad, it was the fifth track from their 1974 album, Let's Put It All Together and was released as a single and reached No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 for 2 weeks. "You Make Me Feel Brand New" was kept from the No. 1 spot by "Billy Don't Be a Hero" by Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods. In addition, it climbed to No. 5 on the Billboard R&B chart. Billboard ranked it as the No. 14 song for 1974.

"You Make Me Feel Brand New" also reached No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart in August 1974. The Stylistics' recording sold over one million copies in the USA, earning the band a gold disc. The award was presented by the RIAA on May 22, 1974. It was the band's fifth gold disc.

The song, in a longer five-minute version, had first appeared as a track on the Stylistics' 1973 album, Rockin' Roll Baby, though that version was not released as a single.

This song was also used in TV commercials for Woolite in the mid 1980s and in TV advertisements for Australian department store Myer in the late 1980s.[citation needed] In Britain a version was used to advertise BioTex stain removal powder." T read more go to Wikipedia.com.

LYRICS:

"You Make Me Feel Brand New"

My love
I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain

Precious love
You held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again

Only you care when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you and with gratitude and love

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you
Make me feel brand new

My love
Whenever I was insecure
You build me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me

Precious friend
With you I always had a friend
You're someone who I can depend
To walk a path that sometimes bends

Without you
Life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay you for having faith in me

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you
Make me feel brand new
