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

Life ain't so easy sometimes
Things tend to block up my mind
Stop me from Living how I want to live
I've been working so hard
Trying to play the right card
Haven't had the time to
Do the things I needed to

Why am I feeling so blue
This feeling isn't new
I should have listened to the
Words my friends would say
They'd say when times are rough you
Know you've got hold on hold on

Sometimes when you feel like giving up
You know you've got to keep together keep together keep together
And I know when thing get kind of rough
You know you've got to keep together keep together keep together

I know it's happened before
Trouble it knocked at my door
It filled my head with things
I didn't seem to understand

Bad luck it followed me to
Whatever I would do
I seemed to ruin all things
I wanted most of all

Why am I feeling so blue
This feeling isn't new
I should have listened to the words my friends would say
They'd say
When times are rough you know you've got to hold on hold on

'Cause everywhere that you go and everything that you do
Situations they will try to get the better of you
Whatever happens to you this time you've got to hold on to it hold on
Baby now
