Subject: Searching for '70s/'80s R&B song.
Written By: zcrito on 12/13/04 at 12:03 am
Basically a woman singing and a saxaphone playing throughout the song. Sounds like it's late '70s or early '80s.
Right before its closing she sings: "Open up your heart to me".
And its closing lines are:
"You know that I really need you. You know that I need to have you", and are repeated over several times.
I hear it on the radio about twice a year. Any ideas?
???

I hope this helps. The name of the song and artist I believe you're searching for is:
She repeats the lyrics you mentioned toward the end of the song and there is a saxophone playing in the background
Title: I Tried
Artist: Angela Bofill
Lyrics: I tried to do the best I can for you
but it seems it's not enough
And you know I care,
even when you're not there
But it's not what you want
You close your door
when I want to give you more
And I feel,I feel so out of place
And you know it's true
Don't you think I'm good enough for you
bridge(instrumental)
Can't you see that your hurting me
and I want,I want this pain to stop
So if you really care
I mean if you really,really care
Well then open up your heart to me
Open up to me
You know that I tried to be with you
You know that I wanted to make it through
You know that I needed to make you mine
And it was just a matter of time
You know that I tried to be with you
You know that I wanted to see it through
You know that I needed to make you mine
And it was only a matter of time

Nice going, Cookie Dude. My 2 year old mystery has been solved.

I was close with its date. It's from her Oct.1979, album "Angel of the Night".
Thanks!
How did you ever find it?

What's sad is that when people tell me they're trying to locate a song they heard on the radio I always tell me to check the radio station's Web site. This time I didn't use my own advice until it was too late -- the station I heard it on only keeps the last 12 hours of songs listed and I waited 2 days. What's even more sad is I heard this song again just last week and this time when I got home I checked the radio station's Web site -- and now they don't list the songs they played anymore! (I can't win)

You do not know how many times I have heard this song and waited for the dj to say the title or artist, and they cut to commercial! I have searched everywhere, but you have found it. I am going to put this on the all time love songs cd I am creating.
