Sammy Holland - Midnight Serenade (1982) | #SmoothFunk #SlowJam #FunkBallad

Sammy Holland emerged in the late 70s with a silky blend of funk, soul, and slow-burning romance. Known for his smooth falsetto, warm personality, and laid-back groove, Sammy became a favorite on late-night radio and candlelit dance floors. By the early 80s, his sound—sweet, dreamy, and irresistibly funky—made him one of the era’s most beloved slow-jam stylists. “Midnight Serenade” (1982) This track is pure late-night funk — warm, playful, and impossible to sit still to. The groove hits you right away, smooth but with a little swagger, like someone walking into the room knowing everyone’s watching. Sammy’s vocals glide over the beat with that cool, confident charm he’s known for, teasing, smiling, pulling you into the moment. The whole song feels like neon lights, slow spins on the dance floor, and that electric spark when you lock eyes with someone across the room. It’s fun, flirty, and full of attitude — classic Sammy Holland. It’s hazy, romantic, slow, and irresistible… the perfect soundtrack for starry skies, close dancing, and the kind of midnight moments you don’t forget. A classic slow jam for lovers, dreamers, and groove-seekers. Lyrics: [Verse 1] Ooh The moon’s got a glow (mm, yeah, yeah) Lighting up the night Just so (just so, oo-oo-yeah) Baby Your smile It steals the show Oh no Soft breeze whispers through the trees Feels like a secret just for me (oh, can't you see?) [Prechorus] Dreamy nights Sweet delight (mmm, oo-yeah) Your love feels so right So right [Chorus] Midnight serenade Under starry skies (under starry skies) Your love’s the rhythm Oh That keeps me alive (keeps me alive) Midnight serenade My heart can’t hide (can’t hide) Oo-oo-oo Baby Take me on this ride (oo, take me, baby!) [Verse 2] Oh The rhythm of your touch (of your touch, yeah) Got me floating Baby It’s too much (too much, uh-huh) The sway of your hips Such a rush (such a rush, yeah) We move like waves upon the shore I keep on wanting more and more (more and more, uh!) [Bridge] Ooooh Girl Let’s dance slow (dance slow, oo-yeah) Feel the groove Let the love flow (let it flow, let it flow) Time stands still when we’re this close (when we’re this close, uh!) [Chorus] Midnight serenade Under starry skies (oh, under starry skies) Your love’s the rhythm Oh That keeps me alive (keeps me alive, yeah) Midnight serenade My heart can’t hide (my heart can’t hide) Oo-oo-oo Baby Take me on this ride (oo, take me, baby!)
