Man, I have been into Phil Perry since I heard him sing "Love Don't Love Nobody".

I wish we could hear more of this type of music on the radio ....

[bgblkb]

They stop making records like this for population control.Too many Baby`s,lol.

[HearNSee1]

@bgblkb I totally agree!! Wow! Can you imagine the number.....still, I so miss music like this and am so glad I came up in an era when this was the norm instead of the exception!! Classic Phil...Love it!! He performed this in concert and he had the crowd just like going crazy!! He is awesome in person!

[blutuu]

This guy's wife was my 6th grade math and science teacher. I remember she told us he was a pretty big singer, but I never really caught on how big until recently finding these videos of him. huh...I was kinda close to a star back then.

[kingsmooth1990]

people are really trippin he did a great job but patties in her own league plus she does the song really well live

[MzNatasha75]

Besides Luther Vandross..Phil Perry is my favrorite male artists..He and Luther..so easy to listen to..I Love Patti..But Phil did this!!!..Love You Phil Perry!!!..

[thelicker34]

[BlackKatMagic1977]

i love phil perry he is a wonderful artist..lovely

[LovesTrain71]

Now...People please understand to remake a song by Ms.Patti Laballe that went

"GOLD" took ALOTS of self-confidence,NUTS & NERVES and oh yeah,,,,TALENT.

This BROTHER brought it HOME. He hit a Grand Slam...Knocked it out of the park.

Just as GOOD if not BETTER than Ms.Patti's...E-Nuff Said

[PhatNationTube]

@LovesTrain71 u must be tone def denna muthafucka

[djkrimzonguard]

I love this version.

[youngG408]

am looking for this song......goes something like

"if only you knew..what it means to be wih only

am just hoping that you change your mind and love me too

..............................­..You know that i've tried...to make it alright'

any idea what the song is called and which group released it would be much appreciated :)

[sint007ful]

Love this GUY from the first TIME i ever heard him

[sint007ful]

This MAN is AWESOME...LOVED him the first time i heard his voice....VERY close to being as GOOD as Luther Vandross VERY VERY CLOSE!!!!!

[rojotunes]

can anyone post his version of "you're as right as rain" or "never needed anyone"? if only you knew, phil is the best vocalist on the planet and they should be featuring him on american idol as the only judge, just saiding! phil's the real deal people!! would appreciate the post and thanks for listening to the truth!!

[soulsister0707]

Oh what a good music. Phil you will always be amongst stars. Thanks for posting this song....

[6364ist]

music like this never gets old.

[ZlimJimmy]

Detta är såå grymt bra att vi aldrig nå´nsin kommer att få uppleva detta iom IDOL eller annat liknande där inga rena talanger föds p g a sitt upplägg

[FreyaDiamond]

real singers arent appreciated enough these days. i guess i was born with an old soul cuz im only 24 and ive enjoyed real music like this since i was lil. the trash we have today all sounds the same. oh baby oo baby oh baby oo baby..... shut the hell up baby(rock on madea lol).

[Grannythediva]

I go to Chene Park in Detroit every time he has a concert.  He puts on memorable shows!!

[shortcakeslicious]

PHIL PERRY IS AWESOME

[misssherrilynn2]

I love Phil Perry

[PhoenixKing0617]

I thank my dad for me knowing about Phil Perry, he actually knows him! Back in 2000 my dad got him to sing for a concert in my town though i was only 4 so can't remember a thing. But Phil Perry is an EXTREMELY good singer and very overrated

[realthug101]

I always thought this was ron isley lol

[6179224096]

Any song by Phil Perry is excellent. What a voice...makes you want to be close to your woman...

[DeboraStarr]

The "Falsetto" register is false..."How can one label "GOD'S" given voice as false?...it's as natural as breathing to those who have it...un-religious music lover...

[9bigstep]

the 1st time i heard p.perry I was bartending at a jazz club in 1994 an i hav been a fan every since. trey songz justin beaver or wht ever could live 1000yrs an will never sound this damn good i didnt really like this song until i heard him sing it live it should be a crime this man sound so good

[Tranqilstorm]

One of the greatest singing voices of all time

deseving of the highest musicial honor possible !!!!!!

[MrCoco158]

@Tranqilstorm I definitly agree. One of the VERYVERY greats of ALL time..

[bornagain4127]

Phil Perry voice is unusal and blessed. All of his songs have definition.

[misssherrilynn2]

This song reminds me of a past love. All I can say is WOW!

[emmettk]

Patti, Aretha, add who you want to the list. Some artists you just don't touch. Well unless you're Phil Perry. This guy has the chops to touch the "untouchables". So why isn't this man famous? Where's the justice? He and Rachelle Ferrell should write a book about that.

[vm24seven365]

@emmettk So true!

[vm24seven365]

@emmettk So true! Add Goapele to that list. She sings that song Closer (to my dreams)

[NebunLaCap]

Hey which effects did you add?

[MartialLaw01]

Whomever disapproves of this song, is the definition of what a hater is all about. This is timeless. He's a cool guy. I've met with him before.

[vickyhiphop999]

Amazing Song

[valambiguous]

This one GOT me MOYOSIMBA!...Omgoodness!!!...i­f only *YOU* knew...

To the host * * * * *! Phil Perry plugs this!

[ClintonFischer73]

Phil Perry is a genius, I'm just sorry that the kids today do not have singers like this, but after all, this is what is wonderful about music, it is timeless. Thank-you Phil for your wonderful music, I swear I can see heaven when I hear this version!.

[Nanny250]

i love u Phil....

[guiterry]

If Justin Bieber lived to be a MILLION years, he would NEVER be able to sing like THIS!!

[xacalxacalxacalxacal]

@guiterry Yah, but if Phil Perry lived a million years, he'd never have Justin Bieber's hair. So it all evens out.

[MR24HRMANN]

Yep :) !!

[sweetdrk1]

sang Phil!!

[rnpam2]

This is definitely sweet. Phil at his best.

[geoedgrav]

YESSIR !!!!!

[gstlies]

[dovail1]

[Robtheutuber]

wat about glenn jones? maybe lol

[opuyu]

if this isn't sex music, I don't know what is.

[lilmizsilent1]

robin robinson

[Soulist007]

Sing it Phil woohoo lurve it! bless such a beautiful voice

[e37a]

Phil Perr'y greatest performance? Whatever the next one is!!!!! One of the greatest voices ever recorded!!!!!!!!!!

[mycalling52]

There is no favorites of Phil Perry...all his music is fabulous! He takes these songs to another level. His voice is just pure natural soul, with so much emotion..

[Godz1Chozen]

One of the best male singers EVER!!!!!

[porsche02090]

Check out Phil with Lee Ritenour live Is It you. It's back in the day but it is the very best of PP.

[penske13]

i like all the stuff he did for riding bean....it was an animated bit back in the late 80's or early 90's. great shit and i cannot find it anywhere. p.p is highly underrated.

[mzelectlady]

He sings Patti's song with so much heart and soul I didn't know whether to jump and shout and tell God thank you or Phil thank you!  He takes you all the way there! Gotta love it. Timeless singer and timeless music!

[mycalling52]

Phil can definitely sang his azz off! Phil and Patti are indeed gifted singer's..Phil gives more emotion to this song, and makes it his own. A voice like this should never go unnoticed..I'll have to choose Phil rendition...just AWESOME!

[GDelva2003]

this is probably my favorite from phil perry. this one and "Love don't love Nobody"

[rayschon1322]

I love Patti to death she's a R&b legend that can't be touched her soul are her sound. Her voice is second to none. I will thank this guy for taking a song from a legend and doing his own thinghis own way. I ain't mad at you P Perry keep doing your thing dude.

[larryjackson4125]

you just need goin a head a say it. The boi can sang his face off.... I am one of the biggest Patti fans also....

[Lilweezy2815]

wow thats all that I have to say...the tears it up!

[Lady0nline]

WOW this sounds just as good as Patti's version love this one wish I could find him performing it!!!Awesome totally awesome job!

[sheshe2774]

LadyOnline, I had the pleasure of seeing him perform this live in 2008. He sounded just as good live, if not better. If he is ever near you, his show is definitely worth the money.

[Lady0nline]

Thank you for letting me know and you can be certain I will i think he sounds fantastic

[MissJenni2642]

I agree I saw him perform many years ago at a park in Pasadena and I was in tears when he sang "Forever" (my favorite song of his) He is amazing! Phil is my absolutely favorite....hands down!

[naildoctors]

Just whats needed when you are having a bad day!!!!!!

[mycalling52]

Phil Perry is doin it to death! The man is baaaaad! His voice is sensual as hell..

[mrsblair30]

I raelly like dis version tooo. the sax kills it

tooo. But i do love patti she hitts da song to da Teeeeeeeeeee.xx

[mimiputri]

It's amazing ... love u Phil

[ltbrownhue]

he's doing it to death!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BackToLaBelle]

Okay, very nice. I love the beat on this, too bad Patti's voice couldn't be on this beat. He is good but, NO ONE touches Patti.

[londa79]

This is the song. If only you knew was my favorite song back in the day. I was so in love when this song came out. I love Phil Perry he was the man.

[CHOSENONE1964]

Mr. Perry

Your dedication to your quality of professionalism and creativity takes me back to the days of the greats like Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Teddy Pendergrass, Luther Vandross, Peabo Bryson, Freddie Jackson, Jeffery Osborne, and Stevie Wonder.

. Sir you truely possesses an unique combination of skills capabilities. It has been many years since I have heard a male singer with the range of your voice.

And the touch of Jazz in the music, all I can say is SUPERB!!!!!!!! God Bless you sir.

[mydeardiaries]

WAS...WHAT HAPPEN?

[cort241]

Phil is Bad !

[karameldreem]

I love Phil Perry.

[TheCCARMELL1]

Patti don't get me wrong u r a great singer but Phil tore this song up. He is a wonderful singer. This is going 2 b my wedding song, wish u could b there 2 sing it 2 me. Phil i love u n I think u r a wonderful singer so please keep doing what u do best boo.

[HearNSee1]

@TheCCARMELL1 I agree and thought I was the only one who thought so!! Hey I love me some Patti...but Phil just made it where it is hard to up him on this one. His vocal clarity, passion and all around range is awesome....there are no words to express how I feel about Phil Perry!!!

[PhatNationTube]

@HearNSee1 wtf? u whylin out lol

[HearNSee1]

@PhatNationTube LOL...Just agreeing with you. Phil is awesome. Good luck on your wedding.It would be nice if he could really sing for u and ur husband to be. Peace and blessings

[BettyB313]

wow

[schonkable]

Wow; this is incredible! He's able to sing just as high as Patti and add his own personal inflections!

[MattieSongbird]

Wow! Amazing. And if he can do that for the duration of a full concert, then I think Miss Patti just may have met her match. The Patti will always be the Queen in my eyes.

[SympleGrayce]

I absolutely love Phil's version of this song...check out KeKe Wyatt (her rendition is amazing and flawless).

[LGKids]

Patti or Phil, it's still one of the best "I got a crush on you" songs of all time! Much peace to radio dj Doc Wynters for playing the b-side of the record and the smooth cuts, night after night and on Sunday mornings! The vibe was nice and early morning loving was always in order!

[scandra47]

He took this song and gave it more flavor,more colors, and and unlike Patti he didnt even have to kick off his shoes to put it down. He's bad yah might as well admit such.

[scandra47]

With all do respect to Miss Patti, she bad and all. But Phil Perry's arrangement and vocals r bumping! He is blowing Miss Patti up on this powerful rendition. Oh thats just how it comes across. straight with no chaser!

[DizLadyB757]

That Song Can Turn Anybody On I Know It Do Me, He Have A Sexy Voice.

[ozziedavis]

Love this man, him, Luther and phillip Bailey can truely sing....

[Dpurpledove]

This man truly sings. I mean he lays it down. How many use their talents to the fullest like this man. I love to listen to him.

[bigbankX]

I can count on one hand the amount of tenors that have that open channel between their head and chest voice. Being able to sing in a natural tone in the falsetto register. Phil Perry is the best first tenor in the business

[bonjour100]

what do you mean by "open channel?" Can you point me to which bit of the song he uses it?

[2channeltv]

This brother is still a hidden treasure...What a shame.

[HearNSee1]

@2channeltv YESSSS WHAT A SHAME!!!!!! OMG He can BLOW!

[Servant2All]

@bigbankX DITTO!!

[iammadea2]

@bigbankX I agree with you , a very underrated singer, still has the chops even now.

[GhettoBornBabies]

I wish Luther Vandross could've done a cover. And Whitney's 20 second cover was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

[jeremyshockey234]

There are a lot of people who don't seem to approve of Phil Perry's If only you knew, as if he was challenging someone. I don't think this song is an affront to Patti's legend. It's just nice to know there is a male that sings close, at least in technical range. I wish eerybody love. Peacz.

[anthonykeithjohnson3]

I am one of the biggest Patti Labelle fan there is, next to her Phil and Rachelle are the two and only that can sang the hell out of this song Like my Favourite Diva Patti...

[CKB1987]

Keke Wyatt can and so can Coko of SWV the get really high during the end part!!

[sexysigmalady95]

I so love Phil Perry and he is soooo UNDERATED as a singer

[MrTre5670]

very underrated it's a shame to get appreciated i have to be a man slapping a womans that has a thong on.

[sexysigmalady95]

LMAO Mr Tre!!!!!!

[Servant2All]

@sexysigmalady95 You said a mouthful!!!

[vm24seven365]

@sexysigmalady95 I sooooooo agree with you friend...he has never really gotten his props. This is FOR-REAL singing! Phil {is} the truth...not many {so-call} singers today can touch his talent. Proud to say I knew him back in the day. Peace.

[sexysigmalady95]

@vm24seven365 u said a mouthful as well!

[MrTre5670]

HE HAS A NICE VOICE

[antiann52]

Respectable, Not bad, but Patti has a definite edge on my boy.

[dlp1384]

I grew up listening to Phil Perry so I've heard this version a LOOONG time ago and I LOVE IT

[nitamofo]

Wow, this is probably the best version ever.

[MrTre5670]

YES IT IS

[jonahmoses]

He delevered on this song - great job.

I still love Patti's version, I like Ms. Labelle tones.

[bgblkb]

his version makes me think about my wife.our first valitine together i took her to a show he sang this at.dude blew this song.

[sari611]

wonder song , i love it.....

[prhotboyrocboy]

YOOOOO!!!! MY MAN PHIL SANG this SONG! He told Patti you need to go sit somewhere sister because I'm taking over and I have ALL of his albums too. LOVE the old school JAMS!!! EVERYONE NEEDS TO BUY PHIL PERRY!!! Thanks for posting!

[antiann52]

I DON"T THINK SO......

[prhotboyrocboy]

Sorry you feel that way...

[MrTre5670]

I DO!

[antiann52]

And you do have the right to your opinion.

[MrTre5670]

i know that's right patti's a good singer but needs to tone it down phil takes his time delivering a song!

[alexBOSS5]

i love keke wyatts version

[doraysmith]

The most underrated male voice out there.This man has been sangin like this since the 70's (Montclairs) and no one knows of him

[berlynn2]

simply perfect, sang it brotha.

[balladtree]

omg... who is dis dude and where did he come from?????? better yet.. where da hell have I been???? lol

[dwtslvr]

I love Patti's original version. This version by Phil Perry also sounds very romantic. Makes me want to call an old friend and sing this to him.

[gottarockman]

God~ I really enjoy Phil's version of the song,it thrills me as Patti's original,just great!

[SMD0161]

This was our first dance when we got wed

seen the guy twice live simply awesome vocalist

[johnsonsparky]

whats the song at the beginning ?

[Reevesie63]

The beginning of what? I'll try and help.

[YourMamasHangOut]

It's the end of the song "If Only You Knew".

[fcdmusician]

The best remake I"ve ever heard and enjoyed, it makes you wanna fall in Love. I remember this hit like it was yesterday. Awsome!

[Reevesie63]

Has anyone heard This Side of Heaven - track 11 on Phil Perry - Pure Pleasure. Bestest song ever!!!!!!!!!!

[kalianto]

True, I knew Phil from this album, Pure Pleasure. It's the first Phil's album I bought.

[harriettharrington]

I bought all of Phil albums this man can sing

[b3soldier]

My soon to be wife loves this song.

[YourMamasHangOut]

Well, you know what to play! ;)

[AuralExamination]

He's got such a great range ... I always thought he should have been a bigger star. This is a great cover of a very tough song to sing.

[Lungzero]

Probably the best male voice ever, well there is david peaston, phillip bailey as well.

[YourMamasHangOut]

I don't know if I'd say that. There are and was a lot of great male singers. He does have a great voice.

[coldmama123]

I heard someon else say Phil is one of the best kept secrets out there in the music industry, but he shouldn't be. The boy is BAD!

[Robtheutuber]

@Lungzero Naw not the absolute very best nooo...matter a fact if there is a cat who can give him a challenge it would be "Gregory Abbott" hehe....hehe
