Jade - Fly On Strangewings

Copied!

Many's the day, many's the night
I've walked until I thought everything was right
Many's the time I've walked to town
Thinking new faces will bring me up from feeling down

Fly on, strange wings
You choose to hang around and muddle everything
And all the while, he's somewhere
Gathering layers of life without me

Last Monday's paper lies on the floor
Things lay antique since your last visit here before
If there is no one and you need someone
Our old friеnds will know how to get in touch with me

Oh fly on, strange wings
You choosе to hang around and muddle everything
And all the while, he's somewhere
Gathering layers of life without me

Oh fly on, strange wings
You choose to hang around and muddle everything
And all the while, he's somewhere
Gathering layers of life without me

Release Date: August 01, 1970

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.
