  • He sang a group song solo... very good...

  • He's has a better voice than anyone on EWF for sure!

  • Anyone who loves David Foster's produced songs, must buy this blu ray DVD "Hit Man". I really enjoyed it, and seing the passion on David's face just made me love it all the more. Brian McKnight did an outstanding performance of this song.

  • speechless... 

  • Just beautiful. From one Buffalo guy to another.

  • WOW - the orignal by EWF is my all time top ten favourite songs list and I have appreciated the EWF version live twice.. However to hear B McKnight do both Maurice and P.Bailey parts - sensational.. I am not going to comment on which is better - as true music lovers can appreciate both renditions as absolutely stunning. I have both versions on my IPOD with 5 stars. Great video.

  • bad quality video

  • like ko ang song na to..grabe...it hit's me =)

  • David foster envy us pinoys coz d best singer in the world is not found in there homeland it is in the philippines and it is regine. americans cannot accept that regine is the best singer in the world. even mariah or celine dion are no body compared to our song bird. David foster and oprah r only using charice to confuse us filipinos. THAT CHARICE IS WORLD CLASS SINGER BUT NO WAY! TRYING TO SHOW US THAT THEY APPRECIATE CHARICE AND NOT REGINE? they cannot fool us. THEY HAVE LOW STANDARDS!

  • its so amazing!!!

  • This is great!

  • A big dude like this singing that high in a full chest voice?! He does it ALL. How the heck isn't this guy more well-regarded. Amazing!

  • check out a duet cover of b.mcknight's "anytime" on my channel:)

  • super like..

  • dear, Brian Mcknight and also David Foster I LOVE YOU!

  • Strange... YouTube recommended this because I watched some David Foster WALLACE videos. YT could probably improve its recommendation system...

  • A special note to all the little ---ahem---- R&B boys and girls: This is how it's done y'all. And trust me, folks. There's no auto-tune here, guys. And, as Prince once said, in this case: the microphone is ON!!!!!

  • DAvid talks about Jay Graydon here. Wasn't he also one of the writers of a gorgeous ballad by Jaki Graham called "NObody's Fool"??

  • Brian Mcknight one of the BEST male vocalist ever !!

  • If you really love good music and HD music go to my cannel and whatch this song in 1080p quality

    subscribe and enjoy

  • David Foster is a madman on the piano ! wow

  • B. McKnight in the house!!!

  • I love this song sooooo much! David Foster I Love you!!!!

  • note to all the American Idol wannabe's: this is what a stage is for!!!!! Wow, that was good stuff!!!!

  • What a gift David Foster is to the music industry! He is a "The Hit Man of all Time!!" As for Brian McKnight what a singer! Love his style and delivery!! Betty

  • I have to agree with mighty on this one.. these 2 are just as awesome coupled together artistically as the other creations !! love this !

  • --- I love Brian too, those first 2 albums are masterpieces. Better than EWF, well, no, thats not quite true. HoWeVeR, This is the kind of credible musicianship that Foster can pull in with the snap of fingers and Brian made me feel it. Great job B and D

  • Great rendition, but better than EWF? No way.

  • totally awesome!

  • amazing

    

  • i like

    

  • Where was Jay Graydon?

  • I love it

  • I like this version better also!

  • This is crazy. A song like this will tear your throat up if you don't know what you're doing; yet he makes it look soooo easy. It's just not fair.

  • as much as i adore great singers, Brian McKnight is amazing in his own confident and ability. He's unbelievable and so is David Foster!

  • @winpointmedia I don't think anyone denies that EWF was one of the most ground-breaking talents ever and their songs are still popular to this day. I have most definitely heard the original (have the CD) and have loved it until I heard this rendition, which I thought he did a very admirable job of duplicating and taking it a few steps further. So instead of saying it was better than EWF I should have said I LIKED IT MORE than the EWF version. Me, tin-eared? So be it...

  • Kudos to Brian McKnight BUT to all you tin ear, easily impressed peeps you either 1) Have never heard the original 2) Never saw EWF in their prime "live" 3) Maurice White produced the version on the album 4) The sax in original is Don Myrick, an important part of the song (original) 5) The Phenix Horns played on the original as well as member of EWF The original is THE only version that matters DFW The greatest band that ever existed, The Mighty Elements of the Universe Earth. Wind.. and Fire
  • @winpointmedia COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER. DO LOVE ME SOME MCKNIGHT THO...GREAT VOCALS, BUT...MAURICE WHITE, C'MON, HE HIT SOME NOTES. PEACE.

  • god the money i would pay to have this version!

  • there are people that dont like this??? must be Earth Wind and Fire. they just jealous because Brian Mcknight sang it freakn awesomely. hahaha jk love you EWF.

  • i want the version of brian mcknight

  • BMK is just awesome on this song (even reaching Phil Bailey's high notes), simply incredible. When i first saw this video, I rewinded this song at least 5 times to see if its for real ( and It is)

  • who the hell doesnt like this??? THEY SHOULD BE SHOT LOL....

  • The look on David Foster's face says it all. Amazing rendition. Brian McKnight is in a league of his own.

  • 4 people are deaf.

  • @gmwsea make that 9 people now my friend. some people just don't know good music when they hear it.

  • I got Goose bumps. The Best.

  • I got Goose bumps. The Best.

  • LOVE how he plays the piano

  • Oh man! this is awesome!

    Such a wonderful song, David looks so happy and Brian is like "peace of cake" XD

  • I have no words to paint how beautiful this song

  • I would have given a million stars but there were only 5 stars to give. I am blown away by this amazing song, written by the best songwriter EVER David Foster, completed with the incredible, mindblowing, amazing voice of Brian McKnight. Love it!!!!

  • whoever says that brad pitt is the sexiest man alive will change their minds after watching brian mcknight!Ive had a crush on this man since I was 10 yrs old...lol He just oozes what being a man is all about to me! Lord have mercy!! If I could get my hands on this man,I'd kill him in the bedroom for sure!! lol

  • Judith Hill from Michael Jackson's This is It Band is a back up singer!

  • A truly gifted song writer. Grew up listening to his compositions since the 70s and I'm in my 40s. My children just love his work. Any singer would be honoured to work with D. Foster.

  • David Foster has been an idol of mine for years. He's an incredible writer and producer of so many songs many don't know about. Brian McKnight is sensational in this video. I owe many of my writing inspiration to David Foster.

  • I love the way D. Foster stares at Brian. His eyes expresses amazement. I love them booooth <3

  • I hope david foster would write a new song that can be compared to this for brian mcknight,...

    it would change a lot in the industry of music. :)

  • Comment removed

  • Waaauuw, that was simply fabulous. Left me speechless...

    Itig8r, thanks for sharing

  • What two vocalists have to do he can make it by himself.

    So amazing.

  • AMAZING!

  • Simplesmente um SHOW!!!!!!! Amoooooo Davide foster e Brian é muita Bomba viu!! aff.. Demaisssssssss

  • Flawless

  • What a beautiful voice! I love Brian McKnight version than Earth,wind and fire. He's so amazing!

  • you can hear that stevie influence at 3:00

  • NICE

  • ...what a voice!!!...i cant believe it!!!!i've been watching this video many times and still it seems new to me!!!!wow!!!great job!!!!go BRIAN!!!

  • Great rendition but NOT as good as EWF

  • I still want to say that EWF has the right to render this song, but this giant got the nerve to sing. If and only if i could talk to P Bailley, i would tell him to have a duet duel with this guy. and i think, standing ovation will even last for 24 hours.

    Mcknight did it right that actually i made this youtube posting as my homepage, that evrytime i open the web, i am serenated by this damn undying good song of al times.

    thnks itig8r

  • One of my favorite songs of all time, sang by one of my favorite singers of all time!

  • Possibly....the smoothest male voice to ever be heard......

  • OK PEOPLE...my mistake...hehehehe

  • David + Brian = EPIC!

    lovin' Brian's rendition of this fave EWF classic. He gave his own twist to it.

  • why would these 45 people agreed that brian mcnight is a MONSTER?

    he's great....whoah people can really be so damn jealous....and pathetic

  • @charisseLMB they agreed that he's a MONSTER because he's so damn good! That's a hyperbole-- a compliment! :)

  • @charisseLMB they agreed that he's a MONSTER because he's so damn good! That's a hyperbole-- a compliment! :)

  • @charisseLMB I believe "monster" is used as a compliment, cause he is a monster on the mic

  • what a talent!!! whoooo!!!

  • its maurice White & Philip Bailey in one body!

  • @loucas87 todey they are

  • David Foster is an extraordinary songwriter, and Brian McKnight has an unbelievable voice, a incredibly talented man, hope one day I could be able to sing at least half as good as him..

  • @alesisneo you can, but only half

  • @alesisneo be positive man, who knows that you would sing better than him? :D

  • great voice,and wonderful performance.this is a great song.i love the original too.

  • Comment removed

  • Oh my. What an incredible instrument he has.

  • Nice rendition by Brian McKnight.

  • He's so FiiiiiiINE!!!!!!!!

  • What range and power of delivery. Absolutely better than EWF and with a little more flair!

  • @after9sports This is a great version but you are out of your freakin mind to say its better than the original. One thing I will say is he ought to tour with them and sing Maurice White's parts. I hate all the singers who have toured with EWF and tried to sing his parts.. Look at the September part of the video..

  • @after9sports Puta ka. gago. ^^

  • better than EWF pleeeeease, this is OK nothing more

  • @after9sports I am sorry but their both two different singers they can not be compared Brian Mcknight has an amazing voice, but the group EWF is an amazing group they are both uncomparable

  • @after9sports please dont do that , Brain is off the hook and one of my favorite vocalist but dont get it twisted Phillip Bailey kills this song everytime EWF performs, please stop the bullshit.

  • holy crap. u would think that, that song is his. hes crazy. love dis song.

  • What can I say about Brian Mcknight .. AMAZING !!

  • Randy Jackson said yo dawg
