  • Thanks alot for this I subbed.

  • Carol Connors cowrote this 1. She was lead singer of the Teddy Bears, back in the '50s. She had a soprano-type voice, too. I could see her makin' a demo of this song, for Billy and Syreeta.

  • This song represents TRUE love.

  • Syreeta Wright --->  Stevie Wonder's FIRST wife.

  • Wow! Just Wow! THAT IS ALL.....

  • Billy and Syreeta hit #4 in Billboard, 4-19-80. 2 talents that died too young. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed week! RIP, Billy and Syreeta.

  • Billy wrote some incredible songs during his lifetime. He was such a gifted composer/writer. I always thought he was underrated. RIP BP! You are missed.

  • Absolutely stunning! Must be one of the most beautiful songs ever written, ever sung!

  • THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AND SERENE LOVE SONG ... TRULY A CLASSIC INDEED! ... BLESSINGS - (DJS) - 10/03/11

  • I've got tears in my eyes!!

  • Amazing song - takes me back to my childhood

  • When you hear a song and think 'hauntingly beautiful' this is it!! I was just a young cat when this came out. The maturity to really relate to just how sweet this song is!! Yes, our tastes change, but nothing stopped this song from being this beautiful. I'm so happy to hear this now....Peace!!

  • nice 2 hear again. thx 4 posting :-)

  • Great song!!!!

  • SO BEAUTIFULL....WOW

  • Haven't heard this song in ages, as in many years, but the other day it just popped into my head out of nowhere. So I had to look it up. :)

  • truly classic and so good

  • this is one of the most heart felt beautiful songs I have ever heard. Makes you fall in love all with your mate all over again. Why cant people make beautiful music like this today. Classic., i love it. I'm going to cry my husband's dead. Makes me miss him so much. thanks for the memories

  • six people need to born again

  • @bruxinhadcd yeaa, then maybe they'll learn to appreciate music :L

  • Timeless.

  • Just got word that Bobby Womack and Teena Marie did a remake of this song. Teena recorded it right before her passing in 2010. I heard it's coming out the end of September. Can't wait to hear the remake of this song!!!

  • This takes me back to high school and that first love that stays with you forever. I was a overtly romantic teen in 1979. It wasn't until college that the girls learned to appreciate that.

  • Missing these 2 great legends with soulful voices. This song will carry on.

  • Beautiful Song!

  • @dellb73 so many people have demons in their minds they take control of their lives. If anything can be learned at the expense of Billy Preston is to seek help early on for drug abuse...

  • Thank GOD for beautiful songs like this!

  • it is like maybe 1:35 into the song where it starts to take off...that is the most emotional part of the song....

  • One of the most moving songs in history.Simple lyrics but sung with such emotion!

  • I watched a documentary of Billy Preston on "Unsung", the documentary states that he wasn't a fan of this song. I LOVE it. He truly was a genius!!!

  • God has been singing this to me change the words from woman to Jesus, this is exactly how he is............with u I'm born again

  • I'm OLD i guess, i didn't hear this on glee...i heard it on Martin

  • Yes he was a genius for sure

    

  • Wow, I did not know he was such an amazing artist. God Bless you Billy, you are now sleeping and will awake soon.

  • This is one of my favorite songs. I used to listen to this song and sit and cry wow that use to feel good. What a talent my God kiss him everyday in heaven.

  • Beautiful.....

  • wow what a song, full of raw passion...her voice is beautifull...mmmmmmmmmmm im gonna go grab my girl and kiiss

  • a beautiful classic that brings tears to my eyes.

  • dis song is beautiful an great to dance 2 with ur spouse an makes yu overwhelmed wit love an hope

  • Two talented singers, may both of them RIP!

  • amazing

  • do u remember leon issac Kenndy an fine ass Jane Kenndy how about a memory 4 ur ass...Wow great memories great music god I love my era of music 70',80"'s an the 90's musi is the very best cant be topped

  • Touches my heart. Beautiful song. Nothing like this music these days.

  • to me, this is the best duet ever, beautifull song , gerat voices, amazing arrangements.

  • It may have first come out back in '79, but its stil an awesome song. All the cover versions can't hold a candle to the original. A true classic!

  • Fell in love with this song 30 yrs. ago when I heard It in the 1981 Release of the movie Body And Soul ft. Jayne & Leon Isaac Kennedy. And they couldnt have picked a better song it was perfect for that scene.

  • @mjdreamin we have so much in common, i fell in love with dis song n jayne kennedy from watchin dat movie ,i have d body n soul dvd, two cd of dis song.my daughter upload it into my cellphone n evrytime when i play it,i just feel some heavenly happiness in my soul.

  • @larryjaymusic Yeah I have the the dvd cd and ringtone too. I also fell in love with one of the actors but it was Leon The Lover Kennedy instead of his beautiful wife Jayne @ the time...lol......

  • How sad that both of these tremendously talented individuals are no longer with us. But the musical magic they made will live on. Legendary Detroit love-songs DJ Alan Almond always introduced this as "a 'Pillow Talk' classic".

    Billy and Syreeta >>>>>>>>>> Cory Monteith and Lea Michele. And I say this as a Gleek - sometimes the effect that the Glee cover versions have is to remind you of how much BETTER the original versions are, with a few exceptions (Teenage Dream).

  • @Superbook4Eva I'm actually glad more kids are being exposed to this music because it gives the music industry hope that we'll have more future artists because did you notice the lack of new artists as of 2010 & 2011?

  • have always loved this song. Finally, bought it for download to my iPad. Wonderful, wonderful song.

  • i LOVED rachel and finn's cover!! too bad they didnt do a full cover and the others thought it was offensive -.-

  • I never get tired of this song.

  • 1) 6 people don't want to be born again......and

    2) This is one of my favorite love songs. Ooh the passion in this song!!

  • I haven't heard this song since 1983..........What a powerful ballad......Thank you for posting!

  • Today I celebrate my 28th wedding anniversary and this was the song we played for our first dance in 1983! Beautiful.

  • This song would fit nicely in an old school animated Disney movie. Beautiful...

  • @Juniversal OMG you are so right, it definitely has such a sound.. A Disney Classic haha. BUt the subject of this song, would make it really weird if in actually was in a Disney Film hahaha

  • @Churros1616 Well look at Aladdin and their theme song "A whole new world" A romantic song that fit well in the movie and can also be someone wedding song aswell

  • @RatedR623217 true,, such a romantic song

    but this song really leans towards sex

    lying safe with you, im born again

    Im just saying

  • I looked for so long for this song. it is so classic and beautiful!

  • @TheLaluna1 Me too...wasn't sure what it was called and was reminded of it when ...I think it was mariah Carey n Jon Legend did it on some award show.....and then still wasn't sure what it was called found myself looking for it ontinuously after that. This performance is the best though! :7)

  • everytime i listen to this i'm born again....

  • I still love you marianne federowicz

  • I've search for this song for so long. I'm crying now that i finally found it.

  • I really love this song they made together. It makes me happy when I just stare into space just thinking a bout the good ole dazes. I am a very romance person and I just love all types of slow jamzs. But this song is my favor. May they both continue to rest in peace. They made a hit before they left to go with God. Amen my sister and brother. But I hate what he became when he started targeting young boys. But he has paid for it in God eyes.

  • This song was released in 1979, I think. I heard it for the first time in 1980, and it still brings tears to my eyes. Didn't see the glee version, but I wonder how anyone could do a better rendition than these two. Others have tried (e.g., Tom Jones and Linda Carter, Mariah Carey and John Legend). This is a classic.

  • I wish Glee did a full version. 8(

  • @HAHPPYmee- you want them to ruin EVERY song? lol just kidding.

  • @HAHPPYmee ...because it is incomparable to try to sing like Syreeta or Billy for that matter, c'mon really? (Windows 7 phone) lol

  • @HAHPPYmee I hope not !! :( :(

  • One of the sweetest song that will live forever.

  • ok i have to admit...even without the priest-and-schoolgirl imagery glee gave me this song is still pretty creepy o_o

  • thanks Glee for bringing me here too. I totally forgot about this song!

  • Glee brought me here...and I am so glad it did! Why have I not ever heard this song before!?

  • @smartgirl131 because it was before your time lol

  • @smartgirl131 It's a very underrated duet! I was thrilled to hear them cover it on Glee. I'm glad you found the original, full version here and hope many others do, too.

  • @smartgirl131 Right there with you!! Glee was my first time hearing it and now i love it!! And i think Finnchel did an OK job with it.

  • @smartgirl131 maybe 'cause you're too young and they only play crap on the radio nowadays

  • GLEE did this song. HILARIOUS

  • @ItsMARCOdude Why Hilarious ? o_O

    They sang it even better than the original I find, and it's a very good song

  • @ItsMARCOdude he he he he he he ....too right !

  • This love classic was released in 1981....I was like 3 years old, LOL! But I love this song. I swear she sounds so much like Deniece Williams.

  • @kiki1cola1 I think they both started with Mr. Stevie Wonder!

  • This is so beautiful! I heard it sound at a wedding about 12 years ago!

    Awesome!

  • grabe kinakanta namin to ng bhe2 koh....

  • My fiancee & I are planning to have this as our first dance at our wedding.

  • CLASSIC !!!!!!!

  • omg 30 years...

  • Comment removed

  • One of the best songs ever sung by one of the best duets ever. May they both R.I.P. God bless.

  • I discovered a vibrator when I was 12. This song was playing.

  • I just love this song - captures everything I want to say to my husband - Dave, this one is for you x

  • Such an unbelievably amazing song!!!!!!!

  • This song deserves way more than over 46,000 views, it is the ultimate love song, only other song to come close is, Lady by Kenny Rogers IMHO

  • Pure class this song will live 4ever...... unlike the tripe that passes for music today !

  • i am deff gonna make a beat from this

  • Beautiful... :- )

  • I thought Deniece willaimas and Johnny Mathis sung this, please tell me they did

  • @stevieplez2 well i hate to break your heart, they did not, but the song you're thinking of is called!, too much to little too late, by Johnny an Denise. also a great tune , but with just the opposite message, the sadder side of love! Oh! well it's two sides to everything even that thing we call LOVE!!

  • i love this song so much

  • Body & Soul love theme

  • Beautiful....I first heard this as a kid staying up late to watch Leon Isaac and Jayne Kennedy in one of their movies. (I can't remember which one though---anyone?)
