I want to thank my first cousin out there in Columbus Ga., who always played this song by Alexander Oneal. I still can hear you and the crew saying, "You still my _ _ _ ga as long as you don't get no bigger."
Seriously from college days. The best time of my life. Sneak those girls in your room, put on the slow jams and it was over. Thats when music meant something. I will listen to this all day everyday. Alexander, Luther, Isley Brothers,Anita Baker. That right there will get them drawers off quicker than anything. And it was nice to put it on and just think or relax. Bring those days back !!!
I went to his show here in St.Louis, Mo and knew every key and world to his song. While he was performing he look at me like I was crazy. Then I got him hype he called everyone to the stage. Guess who was the first dancer on the stage? LOL
A black couple walked up to me in a 7-11 while I was listening to this song. They asked the name and I shared. Later I was on a toll road and pulled in to pay the toll and again I got, "what's that music?" This stuff never grows old and it speaks of something that we all yearn. Love.
This here is REAL music. The memories come flooding back like a tidal wave. Just so damn peaceful it puts you in another time era when slow grinding on a woman to a timeless slow jam was the bomb, House parties was going on and everyone was just having a real good time. No fights, no shooting, no pants hanging half off a person ass. Just good times and respectful people.
I could swear Alexander O'neal was on a song that had no lyrics. I don't remember the name of the song. All I remember is a saxophone and Alexander O'neal humming in the background. Anybody know what song I'm talking about?
I had no idea that this ninja sang this song. WOW! I always thought it was a group, for whatever reason. I have a brand new appreciation for this cat.
no one, I mean absolutely NO ONE in their right mind can disagree with me when I say that this man was totally UNDERRATED! THIS is truly REAL MUSIC!!!
One of my favorite Alexander O'Neal cuts. If you notice,the melody for Can You Stand The Rain is very similar to Sunshine's with slight alterations. I had heard that Jam/Lewis originally had Alexander O'Neal in mind for Can You Stand The Rain but he passed up on it,so that was how New Edition got hold of it. I felt that he would have did that song just as good as New Edition had he decided to record it.
This song is very special to me because my family dedicated it to my Grandmother when she passed away. She was truly the SUNSHINE in our family. R.I.P. Daisy B. Lacey
I lost the love of my life 23 yrs ago. This was our song and the tears still fall when I hear this music. You would think that time would heal....but all time does is make an impermeable callus. "Never knew love like this.."
He most definitely made beautiful music & he had a beautiful voice. I'm a man and I'll even admit that he had a nice voice. I feel that he's more talented than a lot of these singers of today. Thanx so much 4 sending me this video! I had been looking 4 this song but I didn't know the name of it.
wow this song is gonna be my wedding song one daywhen i have found myself a man oh my goodness this is the type of music we want to listen to not yhis crap from nowadays where is the soul
I'll never understand why he didn't have more success here in the states. His voice is very smooth without sounding weak, if you know what I mean. This is one of my favorite songs by him.
Timeless! Even today.
