I have a certain Motown song that has been playing in my head for months now and I am at my wits end trying to find it. the only lyrics I can remember are "Baby I'm for real as real can get" and this is not the song by the group called the "Originals" I have tried a number of searches and out of ideas. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.PS I have already tried Googling the lyrics and the forum as well no luck!

Choice is google the lyrics or find other tips by searching lyric* using the forum search http://www.gnutellaforums.com/search.php

One thing that helps me is to keep a note pad handy and make notes of the songs I hear. If I happen to catch the title and artist of those songs, I find that I can find them later on LW. For most of my life, I've heard numerous songs that I could tell you some of how they went, but I couldn't tell you the title or artist (since I either forgot the names, or I never got them to begin with). So keeping a note pad handy has helped me remember.

I'm sure the title is "What you see is what you get", and I do have the version done by "The Originals" on an old Motown album.

However, the days of listening to a good album on a decent Hi-Fi system has sadly passed into history.

Hey I just noticed your in the UK where I will be headed for Xmas. Cherio!

Hi Hobo

Just seen your post, I've been ill, anyway I think you are having me on. A Sony Hi-Fi system for a few pounds, no way.

You see, over the past few weeks, before I got ill, I checked ebay and various other web-sites checking out hi-fi prices. And to tell you the truth, I could not now afford the hi-fi system I owned in my early twenties. Hi-Fi prices are 10 times more than the prices I paid in the 70's.

My system was as follows:

Ortofons VMS Cartridge
Thorens TD160Mk2 (without tone arm)
SME 3009 Mk2 Tone arm with dampening fluid
Sony PreAmp
Rotel Amplifier
Rotel Tuner (FM/MW Stereo radio with amplification)
Goodman Stereo Speakers (Tweeter, Midrange and Bass Unit per speaker)
Sony stereo cassette recorder/player that could use three or four types of recording tape.
a) Ferric (ordinary tape).
b) Chrome - for recording high frequencies.
c) Ferri-Chrome - for recording both high and low frequencies.
d) TDK's Super Avlyn - Used on the Chrome setting and was a good balance between Chrome and Ferri-Chrome.

but along came marriage and children, then children become curious toddlers, curious toddlers that wrecked daddy's hi-fi when he was at work.

And that was that.

PS. This is a light hearted post in which I can't get the smilies to work. This could be down to the latest MS security updates I just installed.

Hi Bob ..Good to see you back.. Kids do the most terrible things but destroying a system like that Ouch!!!... you just have to love the little darlings ... soon they'll be looking after us and we'll be falling over their precious belongings in a state of senile decomposition.

My system doesn't match yours .. but it does me fine.

Sony 1981 TA-AX3 amp TC-FX3 Cassette deck and yes I still use it.. 2000 cassettes that I can live with happily .., ST-JX2L/jX2s Tuner ans Wharefdale Laser 100 70 Watt Speakers.

A couple of years ago my Mother in law bought it for me at the church bazaar... thought it would make a good christmas present .. then let out it cost £5.00 but I'm not complaining

My previous purchase of a Panasonic SG 3080L Music centre about the same vintage at a junk auction house for £15.00 was scanalously expensive.

People are buying modern systems with CD players and MP3 attatchments and junking the old stuff. They haven't realized you can gat a portable CD player and feed it though the antique lol.

Look around .. there are huge barg@ins, although I suspect not on ebay

Here's a smiley or two There were some alterations to the smileys yesterday but by the time you posted all was sorted out.. so blame it on MS .. I blame everything on them

Hi Hobo

You most have been extra ordinarily luck to have a mother in-law that was able to spot a brilliant b@rg@in at a jumble sale and immediately thought of you, how many mother in-law's would've done that?

Still, you have a point about "falling over their precious belongings in a state of senile decomposition" my "decomposition" has already started.

Catch you later.



UK Bob.

You get lucky sometimes. I almost got a really nice antique radio for free. Me and another guy were cleaning out an old house and the owner wanted it gone. Then he overheard me saying to my coworker, that I was so not throwing that away, and off course decided to keep it

dont know if u have your answer by now but its watcha see is watcha get
