    The first band member's voice you hear speaking in this song belongs to Wilbur Epps, who passed away yesterday. He worked for me and we became good friends outside of work. I used to love picking his brain about the famous singers he knew and performed with in his younger years. He had a hilarious story about playing in a pickup basketball game against The Jackson 5. Wilbur was a true original. His smile (which was constant) was infectious. He will be truly missed. Rest easy Wilbur Epps. Till we meet again.

    Ralph Eskridge is still singing with local bands in Minneapolis and St paul. He is in the middle of this picture. His high falsetto voice is just as smooth as it was when he was in High School. He coined the phrase "Love Jones" which will be in our lexicon forever. These young men from Chicago did their thing.

    At that time back then, in the shadows of the drug scene, when addicts badly needed a "Fix" they would say that they were Jonesin'. So The Brighter Side of Darkness (vocal group) used this analogy "Love Jones" making a reference to being love sick.

    Most young people today are tone deaf. Like everything today they have accepted and grown up with everything not of high quality. It's a shame they never experienced real music, like this great 70's soul group. Music should uplift the spirit and inspire. The utter noise they peddle for music today is just horrendous and very destructive.

    Yvonne Rios ...I agree I lived in this golden age of rich music . We did not have nothing else ! Material things was not a issue , we never longed for it being never exposed to us . One toy for Christmas was something very special . A special cake made was a Phenomenon. Far to much is taken for granted today and just not appreciated . By a bunch of ingratitude when individuals don’t work to understand the value in receiving something that cost others blood sweat and tears of hard labor . But we had many dates in the rain 📀it may sound funny , but we had to go outside in the rain lol ,going somewhere to play our records . Our greatest literary and Drama teachers. It was what life gave us .We listened , we still do 🙂

She had the biggest afro in my city. Ohh the times. Long ass station wagon, crowded family reunions with pounds of meat grilling, 100 degrees with tank tops and bell bottom pants, sloppy kisses on the cheeks from aunts, fist to the arm from uncles, church every sunday with food after service downstairs, deacons smoking joints in the parking lot awe mann😭😭

I was in class.and an announcement from school office came across class intercom This message is for Karen .C .. from Ruben and Love Jones began playing..I will never forget that feeling, that was the only time the school allowed this type of dedication. From that day on everyone that walked by me would sing " Love Jones. I got a love jones' We stayed together until I moved out of state.I will never forget him. This song is so special 💞💞🎶
