[MultiMjfan1]

will the youth of today know about this pure soul music. if not-then i am hoping that grandaughter will be fine just listening to those (old but v relevant tunes) played by her mum & nana x love you lily xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[edrusharry]

When im in a bad mood this song just lifts me away from the day to day!!!!!!!!!!

[VenusGospeI]

[GoldenPalomino73]

[bertone314]

[LLeluco1]

[babydolphin11]

Can not get you out of my head 

[MegaDiva1999]

Straight back to my high school days...oh Alex...music dont live here any more

[adornscott1]

This use to be the jam... OMG! I remember swinging out on this song... where is the good music today?!!!

[Isim1973]

Thanks Alex !I grew up with your music !

[rickyfitts79]

check the chorus of alex o'neal plus the beat of Fearless Four - Rockin´ it and for sure you know the song

[rah23dragon]

I swear 2 pac sampled this song?

[jontriton]

There was somebody else who sampled this song but i can't remember who it was any ideas?

[ecee77]

@jontriton Jay-Z, I think it was...

[henkoholm]

@thebrabo

maybe Newedition. the early band to bobby brown

[6458gayle]

Saw Unsung the other day and love the recap of Alexander and Cherelle's career. They were truly gifted singers. And, I would have to agree that Alexander would have been one of the top 5 Ballet singers.

[My3girlsMLA]

REAL MUSIC!!!

[Mzbrandywine]

I love this its so soothing ,,

[1zakeem1]

I used to sing this to my daughter when she was an infant. I know its a love sing, but she was my Sunshine...

[ThatGirlTita]

NICE, HE HAS A VOICE! IT WAS GOOD 2 SEE THEM ON THE 2011 AWARDS!

[1teedie]

Wow! The Quiet Storm. 2:00am in For Worth,Tx. 1986. Those of us that were teens in the 1980's have memories to cherish a life time, because of music like this.

[Filapoosotion]

wow! how this takes me back.old school r&b that was classic.i remember this song being played on the radio it just takes u mentally to a place.

[luvyourpets08]

Alexander O'Neal had so much talent and it's a shame that he fell into doing drugs and alcohol. Years aago, I heard he was trying to clean up his act, but since he never produced any new albums, it concerns me about what happened to him.

[keithaddis1]

This song is so pretty.I remember hearing it alot when I was young.

[twinth]

@keithaddis1 me too

[lila22]

Classic record Gay Z sampled

[showent]

Thumb this up if your a yardie, you know we love souls. 

[deekmmm]

[Geno3541y]

Happy times. Good love. Simple love.

[Tonia682]

[rasha125]

@Tonia682 you can say that again. my memories will always be made of this song.

[Change2be1]

[Tammy2069]

O M G! I just FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG! Wow!

[hoggyo3]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS SONG! THIS IS DEFINITELY AN OLD SCHOOL CLASSIC! SING ALEX! ♥♥♥

[DawgcityClev]

This instrumental intro just reels you in everytime.

[emford]

@DawgcityClev That intro never loses it's appeal, does it?? Timeless!

[hule1186]

Alexander Oneal was always a beast....

[Antoinettefrd49]

Love it !!!

[loviedovie222]

Damn all the anger, this is still my shit!

[terrilurana3]

Loveeee this song!!

[jaie25]

This reminds me of my brother(DJ Floyd...Melvin Sanders) back in the days of Club Reno 86-89 in Drew, Miss

[Nawlinsfanforlife]

This was the "JAM" at the clubs, yeah I said it ("JAM")! Classic!

[mirandazar]

i hate it when people go on and on about other things here than the artist or the song

[timberlars]

Love....

[Redzombie13]

Beautful ballad that still resonates 25 years later!!!

[READY4REVELATION]

@Dogghouse531: I will bet all that i have in the bank that i will never eat as much as your lazy ass mother has eaten......or your prison bound father haseaten after all the years he spent on his knees serving his cell mates.

[KUFFEE71]

Love Unsung we need that old school music back.....even my daughter love it, but one thing I wish Alex would clean up his self little more cause you could tell he was on something on some of the footage last night.!!!!

[1Mellodee]

@KUFFEE71 - Love that Ol'school...Real R&B!

[TheQenny]

@KUFFEE71 yall dont no shit about this song . do you know what the sunchine is

[bertone314]

@KUFFEE71 great memorys at wembley arena.........that bed :P....who has a bed on stage now :) while they sing............and who gets a member of crowd to lie on it :P

[thedudemjay]

classic. i love what unsung can do to put the spotlight on all the old artists and give them the shine they deserve. thank you tvone.

[Tdubs2u]

One of my all time favorite ballads, this song has some juice, even after all these years.

[tball464]

I like this song but I never noticed before that the background in sunshine sounds a lot like "Can You Stand The Rain"by New Edition...LOL.

[shortycasper]

@tball464 Classic Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis sound!

[Caprice87]

@tball464 That's because Jam and Lewis produced both songs.

[blkpanther11]

His best song imo

[RavenTheePrincess]

Uhhhh I looked up this video b/c I just finished watching "Unsung" with A. O'Neal and Cherelle and I'm wondering why the world the top comments are about AIDS? Both comments are true indeed but not what the hell I was looking for when I typed in "Sunshine" WTF??

[LuKasAV6]

@RavenTheePrincess I don't know but I gave each comment a thumb down to knock them down a notch. This I do know: after watching UnSung, I'm bout to buy ALL Alexander O'Neal's music!

[bagg234]

Just what i needed some smooth music like this with pure words and feelings!

[camilla60731]

Music like this is unheard of now. Thanks for posting!

[CleanAssPercy]

Bad jam right here



[nhXCdboy]

@craigslistflow lol i get it

[deebee7up]

So so sweet....I played this absolutely to DEATH on my cassette, yes,..I said it, cassette back in high school. OMG,...I listen to this now, and I STILL get tears in my ears,...still moves me and I still recall those old high school memories and dreams....

[luvndaoldskool]

OMG memories memories I was living in St.Louis and I was 18.Great times.

[flynabil]

YOU WILL NEVER GET ENOUGH OF THIS SONG. WHAT A SHAME THEY DON'T MAKE SUCH MUSIC NOWADAYS!!!

[BetamaxBabe]

Warm & fuzzy all over! I used to hear this going home from school.

[READY4REVELATION]

@sastaroo: My post is only dumb to dumb people. Everybody with common sense can understand exactly where i am coming from. Simple minded people can't get it and never will. Why don't you stay away from things that are too high for you.

[sastaroo]

"because there's no other remedy strong enough for me; just heeerrr heeeerr love!!"

Best line in the song, and amazing arrangement by Jam & Lewis!

[Averde8]

This is the 1st song on the playlist iSleep to every night

[twinth]

I never get tired of this song, Totally ear worthy, puts me in a relax mind state,

[phoenix41073]

I mean really??? I know the AIDS crisis is a serious thing and all but shouldn't that be stated in another forum BESIDES THIS ONE?? I thought this was for the appreciators of music to come and post their comments on the song that we all obviously enjoy. Any love song has nothing to do with AIDS it is the behavior for each individual who chooses to act irresponsibly. Let's just enjoy tha music folks really!!!

[twinth]

@phoenix41073 Good Point and comment could not have said it better, lol

[1985juicey]

I still have this record all I need is a 45

[unilez]

Just lovely invokes such wonderful memories too. Peace :))

[747hitman]

alex was a bad boy in the 80"s one my ultimate favorite singers a true credit to the game keep it pimp'n limp'n

[fortgreene31]

love this song peace

[shakev67]

@madammakin you have me over here rolling but you are right. This is a great song what in the heck does it have to do with the Aids crisis?????? If that's the case every love song can be held responsible for it uhmmmmm not. You're comment had me rolling hard, I agree with you 100%

[143lesbian]

THIS IS MY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[5Albanyman]

icon of r&b alexander oneal, he used to put it down in the 80's when i was growing up.

[211steel209]

"the jacka" used this beat in ""is that you""

[madammakin]

How the fuck can you relate this song to the AIDS crisis?

Nutters

this is purely about smoothing the last moments of the night/day away

oh .. i just got it

SOS Band frivolity Freddie jackson looseness

Luther's ambiguity

I was just a child

I thought "loving you all night" was the norm

never thought about the subsequences

still love jam& lewis

[mslenay38]

god this song really take me back. wow cant believe i was only 14 years old

[mzlynbkny]

Omg..........I love this song it takes me to another place!!! I dont understand how someone would dislike it!!!

[719kai719]

beautiful song and still sounds good!

[Yesstia]

Did R.Kelly sampled this in "Honey Love"?

[Yesstia]

Did Patti Labelle sampled this fine track in her own great track, "Somebody Loves You Baby (You Know Who It Is)" ?

[MsBlackman88]

how did it get on the subject of hiv/aids???????

[MrFetine]

que música é essa!!!!!!!!!Deliiiiicia!!!!

[MsPickles9]

I took one up the ass while this was playing....real SUNSHINE!

[brooksdb226]

@MsPickles9 Damn somebody was lucky to get that asshole!

[BetamaxBabe]

@MsPickles9 Dammit Pickles, you almost made me spit tea out of my nose!!!!

[StunnaBankRollBam]

LATE NITE F&^%KIN YO B***CH!!!!

[tashatasha77]

i love love love this song....beautiful lyrics)

[luvmebabynow]

9 ppl arent happy=got no sunshine

[MrGoodlee]

[LOVEisLove3676]

So much more...

[Ish740]

The Man. Always and forever!

[troydawg47]

Classic.

[miskittt]

Backwards skating only!

[Timbodice67]

this my jam



[holy3]

8 PEOPLE DONOT LIKE SUNSHINE THIS IS EPIC

[shakyshawntv]

This is a Beautiful song

[butterflychic728]

love this song

[pamella757able]

time to slooow draaag!

[edrusharry]

Screw the aids message, this is just a CLASSIC TUNE, if your to dumb to avoid aids then your probably to dumb to appreciate what good music this is 8)

[roni826]

This my damn song! I remember back in high school having my cassette player on repeat listening to this song over and over.

[fatkat0000]

YESSSS BABY, I'M COMING.......I LOVE YOU EARL D. MOSES!

[READY4REVELATION]

@philclay: I have an even better idea....why don't we STOP putting all the responsibility on GOD and learn to live moral lives? People are always trying to avoid the truth and that is why the blk race has the highest rate of HIV/AIDs cases of any group....because we want to leave everything to GOD. At what point do we take responsibilty for our own lives and grow up? I will focus on the music and live my life the right way too. Why should GOD do for us what we should be doing for ourselves?

[sweetnessnbk]

@READY4REVELATION This comment is TRULY inspirational. I couldnt have said it better myself. I totally agree and am PROUD that so many others agree too. I remember the "free love" days. "free love" led to way too many cases of HIV/AIDS. Not ot mention child abandonment. God cant be blamed for the choices man makes. Simple as that. You go gurl/boi (wasnt sure of ur gender)! lol =) PEACE

[sastaroo]

@READY4REVELATION My goodness. Will you shut up! You entire post is really dumb. smh.

[voyer4real]

@READY4REVELATION so nicely put

[teelite72]

@READY4REVELATION

I gree! Black people are always waiting for God to take control, and the devil to take the blame! Both entities exist within us and we have some control over the outcome. Take resposibility!

[Caprice87]

@READY4REVELATION Can you please repeat and repost this! I love this quote and wished all people lived by this! ESPECIALLY black folks. Eddie Long left it up to God too.

[sweetnessnbk]

@READY4REVELATION This is a constant arguement between me and others. God gave us choice. The end. Period. God be sending people the word but most people ignore it. He sends the tools for us to do what we need to do but like you said alotta ppl just sit around and wait on the Lord. Get yo lazy ass up and do something. The Bible says seek ye the Lord with all your heart. So if He sending the way why not follow? I aint a halo wearing angel but I do know when I need Him HE is there.

[MegaBrooks2010]

Eight people had to go too long without their sunshine

[Kathy3733]

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL POWERFUL VOICE!!!!!!

[marrelldadon1]

Underated by mainstream,but tru music lovers know better.

[joey123enjoy]

Feel the rythm - I like the song.

[joey123enjoy]

feel the rythm - I like the song

[joey123enjoy]

feel the rythm

[galenkia]

Voice like velvet.

Had this album on vinyl back in the 80's and played it to death.

[Raymirah2]

baby making music!!!!!!!! i swear it is

[pdragonw]

Love this guy, but I always thought he was underrated. Also, on some radio statiions, if they didn't play anything from Cherelle, you wouldn't even know who he was. Alex never really recieved the props he deserved

[tylerdurden3891]

@pdragonw The only songs of his I can remember hearing as a child (Born in 1984 here) was "Fake" and "Our First Christmas". I can *vaguely* remember "Never knew Love Like This". Seeing the video on vh1 back in 2003 was what made me remember, and I've been a fan ever since.

[SouhernNightingGale]

@pdragonw This is absolutely the GOSPEL truth but THANKS be to a few of us, yourself included who knew his (Alexander O'Neal's) worth and enjoyed the man, the artist and the talent he possessed. My finance before being killed in 87 sang SUNSHINE to me and the other song that he (Alexander) and Cherrelle sang together Never knew LOVE like this as well. I thank GOD every day for having someone special like that in my life whom we both appreciated Alex's talent and skills. Be BLESSED.

[phil1ip1]

love love love this song

[JohnnyKBeatz]

CHECK OUT MY SAMPLE BEAT TO THIS

[kelannaMA]

Will always love you Alex, in the Zoo 4ever and always. God bless you

[bigmane1244]

80's 80's 80's.....4sho baby

[bigmane1244]

love this......slow jam

[READY4REVELATION]

@tricky1722: Yes alot of orgies in 2011 and alot of new HIV cases aswell. People better STOP playing games with their health like this. With all the good music from the 70s and 80s what we fail to remember is how many peeps we lost to AIDS during the 80s and 90s.....it was a nightmare. It seemed like everytime i turned around somebody i grew up with or at least was familiar with had passed from AIDS. Very sad how this music brings back those memories to the forefront.

[Fujisuka]

@READY4REVELATION Yes that is very much so true. We've lost alot of family and friend who had nounderstanding of the diease. Even now people forget and are carrying it.

[philclay1000]

@READY4REVELATION

Damn! I had a few friends and family pass way as well but try to focus on the music. Let GOD handle thr rest. Focus on the music that makes you feel good and makes you happy.

[officialNDTV]

@READY4REVELATION The reason for condoms back then was just as prominent now then, AIDS was easily avoided

[TheDougiedoug42]

@READY4REVELATION that wroge. if you was trying to relate a message you should of said mid.80and90's pumping they hot tail to anything with a club beat to it.they fail to realize they in lust not use they thinking cap or they jimmy hat!!!! this for:@tricky1722

[miskittt]

@READY4REVELATION Well I just used to love to backwards skate to this song.

[Dogghouse531]

@READY4REVELATION eat a dick old nigga

[monrouge24]

My older first cousin out in Georgia put me on this song back in the mid to low 1980s.

[247Milagros]

I'm thankful that my father introduced me to the music of this great artist when i was younger!

[MyYolanda01]

I remember when this came out, I used to have a crush on Alex, sometimes I would cry when I heard this song, it's so deep. Now, I can listen to it and be like dang, he is so right. Ha!Ha! Can not go a day without my sunshine (spouse).

[Sunshine5819]

ein tolles Lied ;o)

[MsHershey03]

love it...

[padussia]

What ever happen to Alexander?

[cjudkins79]

@padussia COCAINE AND ALCOHOL!!!

[padussia]

@cjudkins79 Oh no!! He ain't dead is he??

[funkkidmusic301]

@padussia he is alive and doing shows and i heard he has a fragrance coming out as well

[BomberMonkAssassin32]

I Remember when this came out i was in 3rd grade during the 1986-87 school year at the time every time i heard this song i always was thinking about a crush i had on a white girl in my school she was in 2nd grade and i think she knew i had a crush on her ,like i said every time i listen to this track i always think back about the crush i had on her GOOD MUSIC GOOD TIMES..................

[dazzleladyify]

I remember sitting on my porch in the summer listening to this on the radio when I was a kid great memories!!!

[guiterry]

If you can't get with this, you JUST don't get it...

[dhakaboy1]

Classic Jam & Terry Lewis. Alexander was well appreciated in my home town in London, UK...where he lived for a while. I have now been living in HIS home town Minneapolis for twenty years.....closed the loop !

[afrocentriclady]
