Brenton Wood - I Like The Way You Love Me from Oogum Boogum (Lyric Video)

Details

Description

Brenton Wood arrived on the scene in 1967 with the back-to-back hits “The Oogum Boogum Song” and “Gimme Little Sign” that would carry the then Compton resident from a regional Southern California artist to an International sensation. During his prolific period with the short-lived independent label Double Shot Records, Brenton would cut eleven 45s and release the studio albums Oogum Boogum and Baby You Got It, creating a unique blend of contemporary pop soul and throwback doo-wop ballads that resonate to this day. The Hollywood based Double Shot Records roster would also include garage-rock icons Count Five, doo-wop faves The Bagdads, Kent & The Candidates (who would also serve as Brenton’s studio/touring band) and San Francisco legend Bobby Freeman.

It's hard not to hear Brenton Wood's biggest hit, "Gimme Little Sign," and not be convinced that it very well might be the greatest single ever cut. It relies on no one thing -- the song is slinky, surprising, and seductive, blessed with a perfect production (the organ break in the middle is positively, eerily beautiful) and a wonderful, understated performance by Wood, who proves with his smooth, sure-handed delivery that he is one of the finest soul singers of his generation. – All Music

LYRICS

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Don't know why
But I love, I do, yeah, yeah

'Cause I like the way you love me
Oh, girl, oh, oh
Every time you kiss me
Thrills me from my head to feet
And I tell myself that deep inside
There will be no one else for me

'Cause I like the way you love me
Love me, love me
Oh, girl, oh, oh

And I like the way you thrill me, oh, girl, mmm, hmm
Well, you thrill me to my soul
And I like, I like it all so
And I tell myself that deep inside
I could never let you go

'Cause I like the way you love me
Love me, thrill me, chill me, love me, oh, baby
Oh, girl, oh, oh

And I like the way you love me, oh, girl, oh, oh
I love, your my love
You are mine
