Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh-ooh
My, my, my
Ooh
Alright, alright, alright, alright, ha, ha
Hoo
Alright, alright, alright, alright
[Verse 2]
There was a man I knew
Who was smooth as smooth can be
His music, his smile, and his sweet, sweet melody
Do you recall that mentor?
And the voice with the velvet touch?
I'll never forget how he moved us all so much
[Verse 3]
Do you remember
That special one, very special one?
I do remember
How much he's done, how much the man has done
And I can still hear his sweet song, he had
[Verse 4]
Silky, silky soul singer, silky, silky soul singer
Silky, silky soul singer, a silky, silky soul
Alright, alright, alright, alright, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
[Verse 5]
The man was smooth as silk
As he danced across the floor
That rhythm, that style
Made you want to see much more
And most of all was inside
Was a heart as pure as gold
I do believe that magic
Lives and never can grow old, ooh, ooh
[Verse 6]
Ooh-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh, woo
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Ooh, woo, yeah, my, my, oh (Get down, right)
Hee, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Do you remember?)
[Verse 7]
Do you remember
That special one, very special one?
I do remember
How much he's done, how much that man has done
I can still hear his sweet song, oh, oh, woo
[Verse 8]
(Alright, what's happenin', man?) (Ooh, get down)
[Verse 9]
Silky, silky soul singer, silky, silky soul singer
Silky, silky soul singer, a silky, silky soul, woo
(Silky, silky soul singer, silky, silky soul singer)
I remember my friend, I remember
(Silky, silky soul singer, silky, silky soul singer)
You, ooh
(Silky, silky soul singer, silky, silky soul singer)
I remember brother Marvin
(Silky, silky soul singer, silky, silky soul singer)
He was singin'
He was movin', yeah
(Silky, silky soul singer)
I remember brother Marvin
(Silky, silky soul singer, silky, silky soul singer)
He was singin'
He was movin', singin', oh-ma-ooh
(Silky, silky soul singer, silky, silky soul singer)
(Silky, silky soul singer, silky, silky soul singer)
I remember, yes I do, silky soul singing for you, ooh-ooh
(Silky, silky soul singer, silky, silky soul singer)
(Silky, silky soul singer, silky, silky soul singer)
My friend, my friend
Alright, alright, alright, alright
