The score and songs from "The Wiz" are just top notch.

They were uncredited but the three ladies doing the background vocals are the singing group (and one time Diana Ross backup singers) The Jones Girls.

I love this song. When I'm sad it speaks to me. Great song and i love Nipset voice. RIP. One of my favorite movies ever.

"I could cry😢...I could smile😊... I could lay back, for a while 🛏️.." sounds just like me on my day off from work.😭🤣

This movie is a masterpiece to me... Mind you that I wasn't even ALIVE in the late 70s. 2006, baby!!

He was always my favorite in the Wiz. "What would I do" without him.

As a kid I remember every Thanksgiving my dad would play this movie while everyone ate . I love this movie so much it brings back so many memories of the holidays for me. Plus I used to love when the background singers would sing in this song 😊

[jnxzorz]

What an amazing talent. One of my favorite songs. I play it for my daughter often and she loves it too. RIP Nipsey

[krystingrant]

[AlexisShaniceYT]

My favorite song from the whole musical ❤ Can't believe I remember most of the words, haven't seen this in well over a decade

[EricWalker]

I’m going to audition for the tin man in my schools play wish me luck

[SANQUAN]

I remember Mr. Nipsey Russell being on Mike Douglas Show & Other TV shows. The Wiz and many other musicals and movies

[B.Carter]

What would I do if I could suddenly feel
And to know once again that what I feel is real?
I could cry, I could smile, I might lay back for a while
Oh, tell me what, what would I do if I could feel

What would I do if I could reach inside of me
And to know how it feels to say I like what I see?
Then I'd be more than glad to share all that I have inside of here
And the songs my heart might bring, you'd be more than glad to sing

And if tears should fall from my eyes
Just think of all the wounds they could mend
And just think of all the time I could spend
Just being vulnerable again

Oh, tell me what, what would I do
Oh, tell me what, what would I do
Oh, tell me what, what would I do if I could feel

[PengBristol]

I was really expecting Nas to start spitting some fire 🔥

[nightmare-nightmarenightma]

This song is always in the back of my mind
