[ekbad]

Classic music.. can never get this music back!

[shaquyllia01]

Great love song

[dasilentdj]

1 of my favorite if not favorite love song ever!

[sloanmitchell1972]

GREATEST LOVE SONG EVER!

[Brooklyngirl1969]

Now THIS is a love song!!!! When music was music and singers really SAAAANG!!!

[MyRayrayhercules]

This was back when we had good music. Now it's all about " Fuck bitches and get money" (excuse the derogitory word) I hate how the music is in this generation. And I'm 15 and born in this generation..

[MockCharge]

@MyRayrayhercules just take some time to listen to more music than what you hear on the radio. I promise you there's still plenty of good music out there.

[BeautyHealthZoneBlog]

Very dramatic song!

[BeautyHealthZoneBlog]

Love singing along to this. Especially love it when he hits the high notes.

Knocked on the door no answer, doorbell doesn't work! Knock harder.

[21kamalid21]

Good lord this song is deep.

[TheBabyBooBoo1234]

I need you

[TheBabyBooBoo1234]

i love you too

[cookiemonsta516]

to the 11 ppl that didnt like this r fags

[vm1496]

"I went home and watched television until television went off...went to sleep only to find myself waking up a few hours later" that's love and no other song in my opinion captures the highs and Lows of Love Like Lenny does in this classic. As for the Overnight celebrity comment is concerned SLAP yourself. Kanye is a great artist but only because he remakes a lot of classics!!

[Zone1Kid]

Chruch!!!!

[Zone1Kid]

Preach!!!!!

[DNFAN09]

best 7 min of my life

[boi09gmail]

[sugashane1974]

[7vessel]

I love the oldies! The songs  had meaning!!!! One ~love good vibes! Humanity

[jenniferguzman88]

A man that will fight to win your love, regardless of getting shut down, of a man's pride, cause you have become more important and valuable than time itself, amen amen! He's soo sincere in his chanting, and is soo in the battle for your heart he wants to give you the world through this song... i love it!

Over night celebrity is not the original by far check the year this song was made in the 70s lenny is the original no one can ever put it down like lenny... Sing it lenny

[SteelreelRecords]

Lord.....I hope Lenny can help me out this one

[Zone1Kid]

THOSE 11 DISLIKERS I HAVE A 45....THAT HOLD16...PLEEEASE KILL YOURSELFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[antron981]

This is when music really had meaning. This is the product that live creates. Its a sound like no other.

[12deesmith]

[heluvsme11]

[heluvsme11]

@heluvsme11 starting @ 4:40......You get lonely.....and i cried.....LORD HAVE MERCY I FEEL THIS SONG!

[TheElitensupreme]

I like this version almost as much as the original. It is called Overnight Celebrity and can be heard on youtube.

[voicebox23]

Lenny is the greastest talent known to man..this song show them so call thugs real men cry...

[Nameikuseyin]

you know i let a girl know exactly how i felt. i put myself out there for her and all she did was laugh and crush my heart. aint alot of girls looking for real love like lenny says in this song. but no matter what it takes some real balls to be a man and cry infront of a girl and tell her how you feel

[snotice12]

BEAUTIFUL!

[syko2040]

it like some men forgot how to be a man what happen to a slow dance with a lady in tha club now they just stay crunk and fight and femals to they fight to man its sad days...........

[MrSuperg31]

if she was not mad right now i'll try to make a baby .

[MrSuperg31]

this song is my shit and the o'jay's cry together talk about good lovein if you don't make twins off this shit you are not doing it right.

[TRTENNIE]

yes ilove this song

[Sydelle66]

I love Lenny's voice. Fell in love with him when he was the lead singer of Tower of Power. What is Hip is still my favorite.

[rick92983]

@jwells12345ify - Twista sampled this with "Celebrity Overnight".

[ZeSwede275]

Kanye west sampled this beautiful song for Twista's track "overnight celebrity" - Lenny Williams message: #stayreal #staysincere

[Dundetta08]

[Hotboi561PID]

One Of The Best If Not The Best Song Ever Made

[lash009]

Thumbs up if your 19 or younger and madea introduced you to this music.

[dtnga30]

THIS is how I truly feel

[quanagyrl76]

Someone please bring this stuff back. Don't get any better than this.I love this song.

[darkon84]

This man cried the whole time he wrote this song. Lenny, I am a white guy, born in the 80s, but my god, you are a legend. This is the epitomy of love songs and he sings what every man has felt at some point in his life. Every single person in the world needs to hear this. Lenny.....We love you!

[Bful93]

Had to sing this song many nights after heartbreaks and dissappointments.. Real brothers put themselves out there and often it gets unreciprocated. That's why other brothers just run through chicks like it aint sh@$@.. Cause when good brothas try to come through, chicks don't give him any respect... and still we (the lenny williams kind)... go right back out and... will do it again... cause we love..

[lamarw01]

To answer ur question about what rapper samples this song twista does

[Edgardo5400]

Gi

[MRbhproductions1]

classic

[Blackout9193]

Im young and I luv old skool shit like this...Especially when I smoke a blunt

[holdinit2gether]

greatest song ever the 70's was a crazy era between the clothes and the hair but the music can't be touched

[rjohnson2842]

@holdinit2gether man i agree, the greatest love song ever, cant be touched!!! and i agree w/ NO55A, the background artist did their thang, it almost soul gospel like.... he and they did a great job!! just gotta a question- if manz capacity to love a woman is in this measure, what greater LOVE GOD has for us all....

[rejoyce03]

best song ever!!!!!!!

[NO55A]

Forget Lenny for a moment.. the backing singers/saxophonist/trumpeter turned up that night to steal the show! They are absolute murder! Look at them go - 2:45

[xxSetter]

thumbs up if you heard this in The Original Kings of Comedy

[TTYumYum]

@xxSetter no.

[jwell12345ify]

Im probaly da only young boul on here lol....do anybody know a rap song dat samples this...artist looking for help

[jimmymac19pbc]

How can People Dislike this.. Cant be a hater all your life...

[Trenz1974]

You did a good job in syncing the studio jam with the live version.

[MrGutierrez1025]

The greatest love song ever made!

[alex101101101101101]

Damn, I miss those Afro-times...

[goddydee2]

What a song! It still rocks today and the music and particularly the lyrics have stood the test of time.

[dominicanhombre]

when does television go off? Its like 24 hours so he didn't sleep at all. But this song is dope!!!

[30mancode]

@dominicanhombre he's talking about when the channels have them funny looking bars...and doesn't show anything. It's a 70's thing young G!!!

[jasoneveful]

[jasoneveful]

we are from different parts of the world, I am half Russian half srbian and Jason is black man from Houston, and our souls and hearts, regardless of skin color, and distance learning, is really love, and that love is stronger than anything ..... does such pretty pictures, when you see gentle white hand in the hand of his chocolate skin, it's something so delicate and delight, i can not describe to you .... i'm happy to have him....and I LOVE U BABY..........................­.

[zgirlizfine]

NOTHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG LIKE OLD SCHOOL!!!! Use to sit on the porch and listen to this song and other music play from the neighbors house. LOL @ 2:00 am in the morning. Just to step back in time for a few minutes. We had trouble but FAMILY was STRONG>>>>>

[Chrichris5962]

Im 15 I love this song

[Only1Romeo]

Sista’s pay attention, this is what it sounds like when a brother really love’s you. He don’t mind telling you and you shouldn’t think that he’s weak just because he puts himself out there to prove his love, brothers playing hard my not be playing at all, bother may be hard to get along with or hard to love! You should love a man who can express how he feel! My man Lenny really put it down on this timeless hit!

[annes0991]

@Only1Romeo im 14 nd lov dis song i told my daddy a boy sang dis song to me i aint comin home a virgin now he dont want me to date

[kantonerealrichmond]

@Only1Romeo fashow

[Only1AngelLikeMe]

@Only1Romeo Its the Only1's that know the truth.. LolZ

[MultiplicityMe2]

What happened to songs like this...when brothers used to rap to you..and lay it down.. Are slow jams even longer than three minutes nowadays...wait are they still real soulful slow jams...anymore???

[3811iberis]

Lenny Williams has never received the proper acclaim, for being one of the finest R&B singers in music history, it's just that plain n' simple, a timeless 70's R&B classic...

[HONDONAY]

Nothing like old school songs to start the day...

[xtrasharp08]

Most intense love song. Real powerful message.

[shannonroch]
