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
Do you remember
That special one that very special one
I do remember
How much that man has done
I can still hear his sweet song
Silky silky soul singer
Silky silky soul singer
Silky silky soul singer
Silky silky soul singer
That man was smooth as silk
As he danced across the floor
His music and his 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 can never grow old
Do you remember
That special one that very special one
I do remember
How much that man has done
I can still hear his sweet song
Silky silky soul singer
Silky silky soul singer
Silky silky soul singer
Silky silky soul singer
