Biography

One of the most successful acid jazz/UK funk groups of all time. Lead vocalists over the years include Linda Muriel, Jay Ella Ruth, N'Dea Davenport, Siedah Garrett, Carleen Anderson, Nicole Russo, Honey Larochelle, Dawn Joseph and Sulene Fleming. All but the last two have appeared on lead vocals on the group's records. The group enjoyed the most success with N'Dea Davenport in the first half of the 90s. Davenport returned to The Heavies for the "Get Used To It" and "Live In London" albums, after which the latest vocalist Dawn Joseph gradually took over lead vocal duties. Joseph and the drummer and co-lead vocalist Jan Kincaid, one of the founding members, both left the group in late 2015 (and soon formed [a5675697]). The group's biggest hits include "Never Stop", "Dream Come True", "Dream On Dreamer", "Midnight At The Oasis", "Sometimes", "You Are The Universe", "You've Got A Friend", "Saturday Nite" and "I Don't Know Why (I Love You)".

LYRICS

Don't you let your young life get you down
It always had a certain mystery
Many changes come to everyone
About the time that they turn seventeen
Grandma said at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said hold onto your faith
'Cause in this world you've got to go and get yours

So you stand up
Be strong go out there
Hold on to the real thing that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

There's no need to feel you're on your own
Just let your intuition guide you through
Take one step toward what you believe
Don't be afraid to make your move - In my head those words remind me what
Grandma said - at times you'll feel a sting
There'll be sharp turns and uphills and closed doors
Then she said hold on to your faith
Don't be scared go out there
Stand up
Be strong go out there
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand' em to you on a silver platter

Stand up
Be strong go out there
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Don't be scared go out there
Just stand up, my brother, sister
Hold on
To the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up, brother, sister
Hold on to the real things, that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Stand up, my brother, sister
Hold on to the real things that matter
'Cause no one's gonna hand it to you on a silver platter

Yeah
