Question
Hello,
  
  I've been in search of the title and artist name to a  very vibrant song that has a chorus thus : "Belinda ehhh ahhh Belinda ohhh Belinda " another line goes as thus ; "Let me do it do it for you do it for your love ahhh ,,....." The video set ends on a boat with the lady leaving the guy at the end after so much effort.
   I can't pay you but two things are certain i really appreciate what you do and you will definitely be adding to my joy,kindly come to my aid.

Cheers.

Answer
Hi Benedict,

The song you're looking for is "Belinda" by Grady Harrell, which reached #69 on the US R&B chart in 1985. The song is from his 1984 debut album called Mwana and can also be found on a 1996 compilation CD called Star Funk, Vol. 21.  Here is a link to the video: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7ruof_grady-harrell-belinda_music
