More Than In Love by Kate Robbins & Beyond

One of the most unforgettable love songs that I am afraid to say I have forgotten already. Gosh, I am getting old already !!! Good thing that somebody out there is giving importance to our call on sharing info with regards to rediscovering lost or forgotten nostalgic songs.

This collector who requested anonymity ( let me just call him Mr. AL ) really impressed me with his marked enthusiasm of looking for hard to find songs that are available in CDs. He is one of the few collectors who is really giving his time, effort and of course money for his love of beautiful music.

Through this blog, he was able to share with me a lot of adult oriented songs or love songs that I am not aware that they are already available in CDs. I think he is one of the most updated collector that I am aware of.

More Than In Love by Kate Robbins & Beyond is one of the songs, he mentioned to me that is available on CD. Through his input, luckily, I was able to find the song as a part of the 4 CD Love Collection Set from UK :



I almost stopped updating this blog. Many thanks Mr. AL !!! More power !!!

Hello Love by Florence Warner

Only recently, my friend Matt surprised me because he's looking for a good copy this song. I found out that I have this song from a pirated CD only. Later, I found out from my old tapes that this song was officially released on a 1994 cassette tape in the Philippines.:

Hello Love by Florence Warner was released on 1980 in Holland as the flipside of Hold Me Once, one of her popular song in Europe :





Thanks Matt for always being my mentor with regards to music !!! Many thanks also to Wilbert who's always inspiring me to continue and who's always there to help and to Derf for everything ( there's a lot to mention ) ... All of you guys made me realize the importance of sharing our music experience with other people.

Grandmother Says by Yellowstone And Voice

I got my "Grandmother Says" by Yellowstone and Voice from an album below:



From Wikipedia : 'Yellowstone and Voice' were a duo formed in 1972 in London. Their two main musical hits were "Philosopher" and "Grandmother Says".
Peter Papini (Yellowstone) and Steve Voice were singer songwriters who also coined the famous Kelly Marie hit "Feels like I'm in love". Both became successful writer/producers in their own rights. Steve Voice had solo hits including "On the Shelf" and formed the band Revolver. Their one and only self titled album is now highly regarded and collectable. Luckily, I was able to own this LP.

I'm Going Back To The Philippines by Menudo

I'M GOING BACK TO THE PHILIPPINES
by Menudo (1986)

Quietly she sat beside me
"Hello love", was all she said,
"Are you also feelin' lonely?"
With her eyes she answered, "Yes."
In Makati when we met
The moment I will never forget.
Her perfume filled the warm night air
A yellow rose she wore in her hair,
That's when I knew how much I cared
And I took her with a kiss.
We walked along through the city
And I held her by the hand,
"When I am gone, will you miss me?
Think of how our love began."
Underneath Manila sky
We knew we had to say goodbye.
And for the last time we shared our dreams
Our deepest secret and what our love means,
I made my promise, she made a wish
And I left her with a kiss
I'm goin' back to the Philippines
Where my love is waiting
I'm goin' back to the Philippines
To see my love once again.

(Lyrics of this song courtesy of Nostalgia Manila)
