What Was This Song Playing On Colin Young's Trunk Of Funk

Hello All..

For any of you that listen to Colin Young on Friday nights (or anyone else who is a musical genius)...I heard a song on his show on the 1st July and I cannot find out who sung it or the name of it anywhere.

I even emailed the show the other day but the reply wasn't the song played. The lyrics are.

"Girl I think you know now, why it's harder to show how. Knowing that our love will make you smile, showing that our love is passing the trial. I said girl, you got me thinking, knowing that your loving is for the taking. I'm gonna get you I'm gonna, I'm gonna love you baby, I outta..."

Shazam doesn't work so I assume it's a rarity.

Thanks in advance

Thanks!

I've tried that approach, it's the song/artist I need to see if I can download it
You mean he doesn't tell you what you're listening to?

Not always but to be fair to him its a 3 hour show and strangely googling the lyrics doesn't bring anything up.
Try contacting him or the 'Trunk of Funk' Facebook pages.

Or via Twitter
Of course yes.
The programme is on Ellipsis's link. If you tell us the timing of the track i'll have a listen for you.
I've just skimmed through the first 30 mins and knew all those so there's a fair chance I'd know yours
> its a 3 hour show

If you can remember roughly when it was played you can fast forward to a few minutes before that and listen.
I'm up to 95 mins and it isn't one of the ones so far.
I have a feeling this may be the wrong night's show if the show gave you the wrong track
Best answer to fiction-factory for dedication!
OK- it's the one after Midnight Star- Midas Touch. It's about 2 hrs 23 mins in. It's between that and Southern Freeze.
I know almost all the tracks well but not this so I'll listen again.

Aww thanks so much everyone. Stepped away from the PC hence no input. I'm not on Facebook or twitter or I would have definitely done that. And I should've been more clear on where about it was on the show. So apologies for that.
Either the band or the song appears to be called "Sunshine". At 2:31:55 he says "We were trying to warm things up a little earlier with some Sunshine and then we have Freeze and the Southern Freeze"
Now we've found where the track is on the programme you should be able to contact the show.
It may also help if you could extract the relevant 5 minute bit and post it here again as a reply so others can listen to see if they recognise it.
Your lyrics are 95% accurate and it seems odd that Google doesn't throw up the answer, but I assume this was one very obscure track set in between lots of well known oldies. It's hard to even put a date on it- it could have been early 80s (a bit 52nd Street- the band not the Billy Joel track) from a minor artist so will have predated Google, or it could be a track from a much more recent artist
Question Author
Thanks so much fiction-factory et al, I'll see if I can extract it when I'm home later.
Thanks again for your input
Hi Ellipsis- I'm not sure that the 'sunshine' reference was to the song that preceded Freeeze's Southern Freeze as I seem to remember Sunshine was sung by Alexander O Neill earlier in the show. It may be my memory playing tricks though- and I'm afraid I'm not going to sit through the 3 hour programme again to check
Have you had chance to make further enquiries of the Colin Young Show, Bellini?
