About Can't Give You Anything

"Can't Give You Anything (But My Love)" is a 1975 single by The Stylistics. It reached number one for three weeks in the UK in August 1975. After splitting from record producer Thom Bell in 1974, songwriters/producers Hugo & Luigi and George David Weiss took over, with arrangements by Van McCoy. Although the split with Bell negatively affected the group in the US, The Stylistics continued to be popular in the UK and this was their first and only UK number one single. The track reached number 51 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number 18 on the corresponding US R&B chart.  more »

If I had money I'd go wild buy you furs
Dress you like a queen
And in a chauffeured limousine
We'd look so fine

But I'm an ordinary guy
And my pockets are empty
Just an ordinary guy
But I'm yours till I die

I can't give you anything
But my love, but my love
I can't give you anything
But my love, but my love

I cannot promise you the world
Can't afford any fancy things
I cannot buy you diamond rings
No string of pearls

But my devotion I will give all my life
Just to you girl
My devotion I will give for as long as I live

I can't give you anything
But my love, but my love

The Stylistics

The Stylistics are a soul music vocal group, and were one of the best-known Philadelphia soul groups of the 1970s. They formed in 1968, and were composed of lead Russell Thompkins, Jr., Herb Murrell, Airrion Love, James Smith, and James Dunn. All of their US hits were ballads, graced by the soaring falsetto of Russell Thompkins, Jr. and the lush productions of Thom Bell, which helped make the Stylistics one of the most successful soul groups of the first half of the 1970s." During the early 1970s, the group had twelve consecutive U.S. R&B top ten hits, including "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)", "You Are Everything", "Betcha by Golly, Wow", "I'm Stone in Love with You", "Break Up to Make Up", and "You Make Me Feel Brand New". more »
