Biography

Nine-piece soul funk band Formed in Dayton, Ohio, U.S. from the combination of members of two groups - The Montereys and The Nomads. Originally named Ohio Lakeside Express. They met [a=Frank Wilson] just before he'd quit [l=Motown] and they were signed at [l=ABC Records] and they released their debut in 1977 produced by [a=Frank Wilson]. In 1978 their manager and friend [a=Dick Griffey] founded [l=Solar] and signed the group. [a=Norman Whitfield] as well had made them an offer for [l=Whitfield Records] but [a=Lakeside] turned it down. They contributed instead to [a=Willie Hutch]' [url=http://www.discogs.com/Willie-Hutch-In-Tune/release/1954054]"In Tune"[/url] released in Whitfield's label. They also contributed in "Danceland" (from [a=Carrie Lucas]' third album in 1979) and produced [a=7th Wonder]'s "Stop Before You Break My Heart" (from their third and last album). They would release nine albums at [l=Solar] between 1978 - 1990. Their main line up (after several changes) were [a=Otis Stokes] (guitar, vocals), [a=Thomas Shelby] (lead vocals), [a=Mark Adam Wood, Jr.] (lead vocals, keyboards), [a=Stephen Shockley] (guitar), [a=Fred Alexander Jr.] (drums), [a=Tiemeyer McCain] (lead vocals), [a=Marvin Craig] (bass), [a=Fred Lewis (2)] (percussion), [a=Norman Beavers] (keyboards). They became famous for their flamboyant theatrical costumes on their album covers and for the rich, heavy, uplifting funk soul sound. Their biggest legacy remains their 1980 single [url=http://www.discogs.com/Lakeside-Fantastic-Voyage-I-Cant-Get-You-Out-Of-My-Head/release/622838]"Fantastic Voyage"[/url] (No.1 in the r'n'b charts, the closest they came to a crossover success - No.55 in the U.S. pop chart) that was included in the soundtrack of 1992's [url=http://www.discogs.com/Various-South-Central-Music-From-The-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack/release/803962]"South Central"[/url] and [a=Coolio] covered -among other rappers- in 1994.

LYRICS

There she goes again
Lookin' like she just stepped out a magazine
Such a pretty thing
There she goes again
Knowin' there's a chance that she might create a scene
Do you know what I mean

Don't you fellas agree (Oh, yeah)
I said ain't she the finest thing that you ever did see, hey (Oh, yeah)
So beautiful to me
'Cause if you ever had a good love
Then there's one thing you got to know

That there's something about that woman
She's got something you can't live without, makes your heart sing
Oh, it's just something about that woman
If you're in doubt, then you are missin' out on a good thing, yeah

The fellas get their kicks
Watching you walk up and down the street like that (Foxy lady)
And that's a fact (Don't you do me like that)
And I get so much heat
These eyes can't fool my lady next to me
And she don't play that kind of thing, no

Don't you fellas agree {Oh, yeah}
Some times you can't help from lookin' at what you see, oh (Oh, yeah)
And it looks so good to me
'Cause if you ever had a good love
Then there's one thing you got to know

That there's something about that woman
She's got something you can't live without, makes your heart sing
Ooh, it's just something about that woman
If you're in doubt, then you are missin' out on a good thing, yeah

I got to give it up
Hey, hey

The fellas, you know what I mean
I want you to come along and sing along with me
Something about my woman
There's somethin' about my woman

Hey, if you ever had a good love
Then there's one thing you got to know

That there's something about that woman
She's got something you can't live without, makes your heart sing
Ooh, it's just something about that woman
If you're in doubt, then you are missin' out on a good thing

Something about that woman (Something about her)
Something about that woman (Hey...hey...)
Something about that woman (There she goes again lookin' like a picture)
(She's such a pretty thing)

Something about that woman (Here she comes again)
Something about that woman (The fellas get their kicks watching, I'm watchin' too)
Something about that woman (There goes a woman)
(Look at the ladies)

Something about that woman (Somethin' about that woman)
(She's sweet and she's kind) Makes your heart sing
(And that's a fact, she's where it's at)
Something about that woman (Somethin' about that woman)
