Ladies and gentlemen, if we may,
we would just like to take you back a ways.
Before us we have a few gentlemen,
and I count myself as part of this, a group known as the
Impressions.
Still the
Impressions.
However, we speak on the
Impressions because maybe just for once
we'd like to just speak on the value of all the people
was a part of this group and all the
great things that has come from it.
Off to the left of me, brother
Jerry
Butler.
Long time, good to see you.
I've known
Jerry for like, what, how long?
It goes back about 1953, 54,
someplace like that.
Actually, this is the way we got together,
and this fella here came up with a group known as the
Roosters, right?
Right.
Well, we didn't get
Fred's name.
What's your name,
Fred?
Fred
Cass.
I'm going to let you say or maybe speak on the
song we want to present to you while I play on it.
Well, this is a tune that takes us
back to 1958.
A tune entitled, uh,
For
Your
Precious
Love.
Your precious love means more to me
than any love could ever be.
For when I wanted you I was
so lonely and so blue
For that's what love will do
And darling, I was so surprised
Oh, when I first realized that
you were fooling me
And darling, they say that
our love won't grow
But I just want to tell them, well,
that they don't know
For as long as you're in love with me
Our love will grow wider,
deeper than any sea
And of all the things that I want
in this whole wide world
It's just for you to say that
you'll be my girl
And you, while I was wanting you, I'm so lonely,
yes I am, with you.
