Kwesi Bonsu - Heavenly Daughter (UK 90s Neo-Soul)

[MsKittenz1]

We don't get really any UK black music in the States.......but this is nice and it does have Al Green appeal to it.

[SonOfNighthawk13]

Just want to say that I had the great honor to be in a band led by Kwesi, called Sunchilde. We came over to the UK in '93 and made one album for Sony (Soho Square). Cleveland Watkiss from the UK was also involved in this project. Kwesi Bonsu is a rare spirit indeed, a musical genius who found great joy in unifying, promoting, and uplifting those around him. He is alive and well in the southern U.S.A., his light still burns brightly(thank God!), and the world has not heard the last of him. :)

@SonOfNighthawk13 Well..... many thanks for updating us.... and that one album which he done with Sony is all I have to remember this blessed artist.... so it's good to know he's still around and maybe some time in the future he will share his gift with us again.....

I've got the record "testimony" this is def. my favourite album of all time. i have been looking for something about this guy eversince... he did one track with d'influence but apart from that i don't know where he has been ever since!! is the guy a ghost? if so he's the most soulful ghost out there...

[RootsDaughter41926]

@therealrich ... so true... i just don't know what happened to him... i'm more inclined to think his record label just didn't know how to market a neo-soulsta and dash him (as they usually do)...

[kinkimur]

Wickd traack from da man himself ...... Does anyone have any info based on Kwesi doing a track called LOVELY ? is there a video out there of LOVELY by Kwesi.. Please HELP!!!

[sinmyabenaiche]

Was looking for that song for years!!!!!!!!!!

Great song! Thanks.

[jaywhenua]

been looking for this song for ten years!yussssssssssss.

is there a remake by another band?

[RootsDaughter41926]

@jaywhenua ... I'm not sure if there is a remake... but this song is a remake anyway of Al Green's classic....

[AcousticUplift]

Really? I was under the impression Al Green wrote this/co-wrote this with Kwesi for his album?

[RootsDaughter41926]

@AcousticUplift ... you obviously do not read the information provide.... check info box which specifically states: "Kwesi Bonsu gives a beautiful take on this Al Green classic 'What A Wonderful Thing Love Is"

[AcousticUplift]

All right, keep your shirt on. It wasn't a personal attack. I'm not going by the info on here. I recall hearing at the time it was released that Al Green wrote it or co wrote it for Kwesi's album. A quick scouring of the internet would reveal this song did not pre-date 1997 anyway suggesting I'm not far off.

nice

[Safir73]

such a sweet sweet tune...GREAT voice....Bless

[AcousticUplift]

Yes, yes! Finally someone uploaded this. This man was soooo underrated. Criminally so. I think he was actually an American who settled here in the UK. I have his other single 'Lovely' which is also a heck of a tune. Thanx so much. Good to know there are others who appreciate this one too.

[RootsDaughter41926]

@AcousticUplift ... yes you're right, Kwesi came from the states and settled here...don't know what happened to him though... got himself a major contract and then disappeared... I only remember one album from him 'Testimony'....
