  • gosh i have been looking 4 this song all over the internet. thankx WLJH, brings me back in my high school year at the dorm. waiting for the train 2 go home. good times!!!

  • @missdmichele exactly the same for me, I'm ond of this song, it reminds me my last year of innocence studying in graduate finance, before going to London and getting a job as a financial analyst

  • 2011...

  • reminds me of back in the day when i was like 7

  • personally i think this is better than the original. shola ama's got such a beautiful and a bit fragile voice which adds some sadness to this wondrous song

  • @discomadame

    Discomadame, you took the words right out my mouth. I've always preferred Shola Ama's version to the Randy Crawford one for EXACTLY that reason. There is real longing and sadness in her voice.

  • @ImaGhoti Yeah, me too! It's more.. sensible. Great version, and I LOVE Sholas voice

  • Ok if you say so mate :) 

  • great song!!

  • @AvidTuber87 ..actually her mother is St.Lucian,but you came close

  • one of the best of the soul :)

  • @lukevertiis Yeah I agree - it's like no-one has heard the original by Randy Crawford. I mean if this were brand new, Id' say it was pretty good, but given that it has already been done better by the original, it seems pointless.

  • This is nothing on the original by Randy Crawford. Why would someone do a cover that is so inferior to the original and adds nothing to it? It's like a cheesy elevator music version of the real one.

  • @jdjc79 dont fucking listen to it!!

  • @jdjc79 cause she made nuff money dnt b hatin

  • shes the besstt

  • Still love this track, brings beautiful memories, nice chilling tune. Where are you Shola?

  • Makes ya wish the good old times would come back for one day when everyone you knew years ago including those deceased were with you in one place, I sure do, I wish for that day all the time

  • Congster Hotline Song 

  • what a voice, I'm melting...

  • She stole this from Randy Crawfords original!

    The original is much better than this rip off.

  • @Cryer24597

    I prefer this version

  • Top tune

  • THIS is what I'm talking about, such a brilliant song! Feel that smooth beat...

  • I heard the Turley Richards original, then followed by Randy Crawfords cover. I actually think that this tone done version done by Shola serves the song well. It still carries the underlying sadness well..

  • @sconex agreed

I WAS ARMY STATIONED IN KITZEGEN GERMANY FROM 96 TO 99 4/3 ADA WHICH IS NOW DEACTIVATED and the post given back to Germany. and this song was a hot video played all the time on MTV EUROPE AND VH1 HAMBURGH GERMANY.
