{Intro}
Mmmmm, yeah
Blessed that be the ties that bind
Woah
Blessed that be the ties that bind
Woah
Blessed that be the ties that bind

{Verse 1}
Do you ever take the time to concentrate your mind and listen (Ooh yeah)
Listen to the music to your inner soul
To marvel at the beauty that nature holds (Spread your wings to freedom)
Erasing from your mind all the doubts
You see (Soaring like an eagle)
Do you picture it? Your loving heart will guide you, you, you

{Chorus}
Blessed (Blеssed), blessed (Oh, yеah)
Oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
My soul feels good about the ties that bind
Me and you, and all mankind, together

Me and you, and all mankind, together, woah
Blessed that be the ties that bind, woah-woah, oooh

{Verse 2}
Glorify your love, place it far above all others, oooh yeah
Take it to the power of your mothers love
Precious memories (Gather little children)
Turn your face in view to the rising sun (Flame of love)
Is a gift to you
Burning to beat of your soul, alright

{Chorus}
Blessed (Blessed), blessed (Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed (Ooh, ooooh)
Blessed, blessed, blessed, blessed (Ooh, ooooh)
My soul feels good about the ties that bind
Me and you, and all mankind, together

Biography

edit bio

The group Jade was originally composed of Joi Marshall, Angela Slates and Debra Mitchell.

Producer Vassal Benford sold the song “I Wanna Love You” before Marshall, Slates and Mitchell’s voices were recorded on the song. In order to keep the song on the soundtrack for the 1992 Kid ‘n Play comedy Class Act, Benford had to reproduce the song with the actual voices of the group members. When that could not be accomplished he implored the record label to drop Slates and Mitchell from the group and replace them with Di Reed and Tonya Kelly who were the voices on the song and who were signed to his production company. Tonya Kelly and Di Reed were signed on by producer Vassal Benford, and the group’s name was extended to Jade.

Tonya grew up in Chicago listening to jazz vocalists such as Sarah Vaughan and Nat King Cole. Joi Marshall was also from Chicago but was raised on Motown, especially Diana Ross. Di Reed grew up in Houston singing gospel anywhere she could.
