RBR Guest Gospel Hour: Bama's movin' on up

Very apropos, and I’m so glad it was the George Jefferson (Weejee!) Mov(in’) On Up song. Hey, on a sidenote- ever heard that “So In Love” song by Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions. It kinda reflects the same ‘Bama tradition of undying, unyielding love most Tiders have. Here’s a link(it will be in a new tab/window) and the lyrics (below) of that one:

Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions – “So In Love”

SO IN LOVE
SO IN LOVE, YOU DO SO MANY THINGS WITH A SMILING FACE.
SO IN LOVE, EVERYTIME WE KISS, IT’S SUCH A PLEASANT TASTE.
THAT’S WHY I KNOW THIS FEELINGS GOOD STRONG, TRIAL & ERROR WE SEEM TO GET ALONG.
I WANNA TESTIFY IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME.
LET ME RECTIFY I MEAN IT HONESTLY (OOH)
LIFE IS CRAZY, BELIEVE ME, IT IS TRUE (OOH)
WE DON’T ALWAYS MEAN, THE THINGS WE SOMETIMES DO.
I COULD BE, YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE, YOU KNOW WE’RE SO IN LOVE.
LAY ME DOWN, REST AWHILE, YOU’RE MOVING MY EMOTIONS.
SO IN LOVE, YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY, YOU HAVE MY DEVOTION.
THIS LOVE AFFAIR IS BIGGER THAN WE TWO,
LOSE OUR FAITH, AND IT WILL SWALLOW YOU.
LOVING YOU, IS WHY I’LL ALWAYS FEEL. NEVER EVER DOING THINGS AGAINST OUR WILL
NATURAL THINGS, NEVER REQUIRE ANY KIND OF TEST, BEING YOU AND I BEING ME, YOU DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE REST
(IN MY HEART I WANNA STRESS), YOU GOT ME SO IN LOVE [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
SO IN LOVE,I TRIED TO DO THE BEST THAT A MAN CAN DO.
SO IN LOVE, THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS,
IS SEE EACH OTHER THROUGH.
SO IN LOVE, SO IN LOVE
LAY DOWN REST AWHILE YOUR MOVING MY EMOTIONS.
SO IN LOVE.

btw: the names “Curtis” and “Claudel” and in the latter part of my childhood- “Alexander” were names I used to give as the alter-ego of my misbehaving-bad-self as a boy.
“Curtis DID IT!”
“Claudel MADE ME!”
“Alexander was THE ONE!”

They NEVER worked. (It was “I” who got the whoopin’)

“so glad that it WASN’T the George Jefferson. . . .”
