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

(Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ahh sometimes) Talkin' 'bout a revolution, or maybe just a change of mind Working on my constitution, I began to realize I've been doin' wrong forever, trouble was my favourite game, yeah Breakin' hearts I tought was so clever But, I'm the one who got hurt playin'. I never could see it comin', no Never could feel it 'til its come and gone But, all of that don't mean nothin', no When you're all alone CHORUS: Sometimes you gotta do right to be happy One time you gotta believe in what you feel inside Sometimes you gotta do right to find happiness Sometimes, sometimes (Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ahh sometimes) You're lookin' at a transformation That's brought about a change in me Love's a brand new situation, never have I felt so free 'Cause I can see it comin' - yeah And I can feel it callin' louder. Now Lovin' is so rewarding - yeah When you let it out Repeat chorus twice (Gotta do right, cha gotta do right, ahh sometimes, sometimes x4)
