[reeseereece]

SAAAAAAANG!!!!

[phdbound10]

Sick!!! The vocals...the arrangement!!!

[sdk0524]

He is truly an Unsung talent!!! Like TOMEBOiEnt said why isn't his stuff on the radio. Great performance and that was only a snipet

[Revolutionary36]

That dude singing in the background cracks me up every time I watch this video! LOL

[buttafinguz]

Dude sings so well, I can almost look past his gayness. Still one of the best that ever heard do it.

[TOMBOiEnt]

Someone PLEASE give me tickets to this man's LIVE performance!!! Why isn't he on the RADIO??? OMG!!!

[SPYSINA1]

@TOMBOiEnt S.O.B's Tuesday in NYC ewwww I just GOTTA be there!

[razpro]

nice wish he could vocal some of my beats!!

[nancydrew5]

When Rahsaan was a baby and started crying his mama put on smoky Robinson, Marvin Gaye, El Debarge, Al Green, Rick James, temptations, and all those Mo-town cats, along with Keith Wilder of Heatwave, Kool and the Gang, Ohio players. He learned how to sing instead of cry and that's why he sound like this today.

[prettypoet08]

omg this is so freaking sick he reminds me of tonex!!

[lovebeingamum40]

HAVE MERCY!!!!!

[MrPlayfullibra2011]

Still loving it!!!!!!!!!!

[MyCarlos1963]

Is this brother doing any touring in the Charlotte North Carolina area any time soon ? If so I want to buy my tickets right now.

[MyCarlos1963]

You know you can sing when you sound the same live as you do on cd enough said.

[Devantekid]

@MyCarlos1963 No, when you sound better than the CD!!! ;-)

[Eboneesaid]

I loved it!!! Keep up the GOOD WORK!

 -Eboneé

[CJMoneymom]

This is a great video...but oh my Lord, the guy who is trying to sing along with him is toooooooo funny!!! Hahahahahaaaa@ 1:19 - 1:26 made me giggle. 1:29-1:34 I fell out on the floor. 1:40-1:50 I died. 1:55....Hahahaaaa!! I love whoever posted this. The background guy has an American Idol audition voice. Just bad for no reason. Hahaaa! Love it! "It's time to hard to seeeee...." Wrong. Hahaaa! Sorry...hahaaaa!

[Devantekid]

@CJMoneymom It was a friend who was singing! I'll let him know!!! ;-)

[vbrown1004]

The man sounds like an angel!

[dudette9t9]

Gifted beyond measure (really, how many octaves does he have?). When he sings, I can help but lift my hand to the sky, close my eyes, and sway. Brutha is the HEAT! Mr. Patterson, you may not be getting your due from the mainstream, but trust this -- I see, I hear you, and I thank you.

[AmileBlaq]

I wanna marry him one day :)

[Mystyque1]

@AmileBlaq yeah...uuuhhhh....good luck with that. lolol.

[iykist]

@AmileBlaq only if you are a man then that would be possible.

[AmileBlaq]

@iykist lol he's gay? what a waist

[TheDebmad]

Sheila this is for you another great voice

[xjtat5]

omgeee!!!! i love him so much...especially when him and ledisi made that duet together...they hav a special chemistry i wish other collaborations could have...

[SLAVEDUA]

LOVE HIS MUSIC

[germainm82]

Wow!!! This dude is a true ARTISIT of his kind, UNDERRATED and thats just sad~

[imguseulChoi]

so great

[Truintell]

YT Michael Speaks and check out some serious range and control of the voice....unbelievable.

[jamesmeny]

I completely agree with Slims. Rahsaan is one of the best talents out there, in the same league as Rachelle Ferrell for voice.

[paperorpaper]

Amazing vocals!

[checkavanz101]

i luv him! when he starts to vocalize & all a that.......damn! he jus leaves me in awe wen i first heard "where you are" i cudnt jus leave it there i had 2 find more of his work.....he never ceases to amaze me!

[boomboomgirl]

I love him!

[renzo623]

are too big and that it would difficult to market her to white mainstream media. Oddly while it is ok that white men be gay (elton John) and others...black men for some reason are held to a different standard.

[renzo623]

@slimsxyblkwoman, Rahsaan did not slip through the cracks, he like countless others chose to be true to their true selves and not be defined by others. he and others (Jesse Powell, YT Jesse Powell You) were ostracized and to a large degree were blacklisted when it was discovered that they are gay. From what I heard they refused to tout themselves as STR8 and were willing to deal with the consequences. Also YT Rachelle Ferrell...listen to some of her stuff too. They establishment thinks her lips

[MRLONGINCLEVELAND]

HANDS DOWN HE WILL RUN CIRCLES AROUND ANY SINGER OUT TODAY.........IS A DEF UNSUNG!!!!! HE SHOULD HAVE SOLD 40 MILL BY NOW WITH A VOICE LIKE THAT!!!!

[PBrew2]

The definition of Going IN! I revisit this video often and I'm still amazed! Rahsaan is such a great UNDERRATED singer of this time - I'm still a fan!!!

[jazzlady29]

His range is SICK, SICK, SICK!!!!!

[Devantekid]

@suranmarie LOST IN TRANSLATION! @JAZZLADY29 IS MAKING A COMPLIMENT! STOP JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS AND CLEAN YOUR POTTY MOUTH.

[dsaulny]

@Devantekid Thanks Deantekid. I really was making a compliment. I couldn't believe that suranmarie run with it to the left field. SMH

[dsaulny]

@suranmarie When I said his range is sick, that was NOT an insult. I am in awe of his talent. That's why I commented on it. I have been a fan for years. You took that COMPLETELY out of context.

[afromosaicul]

beautiful...without all the extra instrumentation or synthetic sounds...he's naturally talented and yes,it's a shame that he, like so many artists(esp indie artists), don't get the support by the industries. these are the musicians that have good music and good messages that make the word go 'round.it's worth listening and worth the money.

[suranmarie]

I LOVE HIM, I LOVE HIM. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR HIM FOR A WHILE. RAHSAAN

PLS COME TO CHARLOTTE, HE CAN SING FOR ME ANYTIME AND I PROMISE THAT I WON'T THROW MY PANTIES ON THE STAGE. KEEP SINGING BABY YOU GOT IT!

[Mixedbreed3]

I was not aware that he had this kind of vocal range. This man is a very impressive vocalist.

[jaedub74]

RAHSAAN IS A BEAST!!! I'VE BEEN A FAN FOR YEARS...LOVE YOU RAH...THE "LAH & RAH" SHOW IS HILARIOUS AS WELL...COME BACK TO CALI!!!

[MisterMannerisms]

He is just playing his instument...Very well!

[dulzura24]

Too many have slept on his talent, especially now after he revealed himself to the public. Some said he was too honest about his orientation but I applaud him for having the courage and I wish him the best and may she serve as an example that one can make it based on artistic merritt alone.

[sexytrannienj]

CHILE THE FACES ARE A KEE KEE

[alareauxfilms]

Simply incredible!!!!

[tommiexander]

I am from the ol' school and grew up listening and loving all of the beautiful ol' school music. I am a true lover of good and real music and the music that they make today is not worth even listening to. But I have to say that this guy is an exception. His style of music and singing is different than the other "new schoolers". He is in a class by himself and he is awesome. He is very underrated because the music industry is too busy promoting all of this junk music and that is a shame!

[islezeus]

@tommiexander I agree wiht you 100%

[Cafetino]

That is sooo damn EVIL! Where is the rest of it! I would have loved to hear the whole song! HE WAS KILLING THAT!!!!

[TheOfficialHEAT]

PHENONMENAL. THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL A GIFT

[datmixedkid2396]

@TheOfficialHEAT yeah thats what i was thinking..this guy sings from his SOUL

[babyninja09]

F*A*N*T*A*S*T*I*C ! ! ! !

[myalli1]

I love his faces...that's that stank...

[kjacks20]

damn mr patterson what a voice

[I4Chris]

TRULY AMAZING!!!

[AuNatural2001]

I LOVE this guy....my my my...He is such an authentic talent...his background singers are amazing too...great video....

[qbone20]

sick

[ebucharles1213]

Artits,like GODS, must never leave their pedestals.The only artists I everknown who are personally delightful are bad artis.Good artists exist simply in what they make and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what the are.Thank you RAHSAAN Patterson for your gift of art!BE BLESS

[WillSoulin]

yes

[kellipeach]

TRUE Talent.

[NigerianHoney]

GOOD music brings a tear of joy to eyes!!!!!!

[buttazz4]

simply beautiful....needs to be running the radio right now!!! awsome..one of my singing idols!!!

[neveahbrown]

I love it... love it  so much listen to him angel ...

[AJPesurnay]

this man fuck up...cool..damn cool

[kusjay]

Talent! True Talent! Lord Knows this man can SING!!!! I could never get enough of his voice!!!

[yousexy2000]

i can listen to him sing allllll dayyyyy!

[MyCarlos1963]

This is real talent , i found his first cd in a pawn shop and i have been a fan every since.I only wish that i could start my own label i would promote Rahsaan ,Will, Freddie, Miles J, Jeffery O, and so many others the way that they deserve to be promoted. I'd have my own small local radio stations that would play this type of music and i would bring them to local markets to do there thing each and every month.

[jerimiahmcleroy]

Rahsaan has the best falseto I have ever heard, 2nd to Musiq Soulchild. Talk about the best in soul music and Rahsaan has to be mentioned. A beast....

[123444122]

@jerimiahmcleroy you're forgetting Prince, dude. For me he tops the bunch. But Rashaan comes hella close though, sometimes can't choose between the two on that front.

[jerimiahmcleroy]

@123444122 my bad. He slipped my mind. prince is definitely up there

[wayntennant]

Definitely up there with the best in terms of vocals.

[mndpower]

effortless.....

[tarrilove]

Beautiful, he's so sexy! His voice is seriously orgasmic!!!!

[oiyoumuppet]

Great talent.....awesome voice

[tomeisee08]

he is just talented...the song speaks to your soul and emotions...all you can do is shake your head and feel the vibe.

[jkb914]

that boy is good! LMBO!!!

[101stunning101]

Them faces he make....iCAN'T lol

[jojal89]

not c6 and its kinda hard since his type of music goes up and down a lot.

[DueceLaFayette]

@jojal89 Trust me. That's a C6.

I have a vocal lab program on my laptop and it read C6.

I also know that it's a C6 because I can barely hit it and a C6 is my breaking point in my falsetto.

[DueceLaFayette]

@jojal89 My mistake. It was a C#6.

[Fffyou]

Yes it was! Sike I don't know all I know is that I've heard Patti Labelle sing C5 in full voice and it sound higher than that, so??? But again, idk.

[skbla]

That was not a c6!

[alcoholharmony]

I just realized he hit a C6 at 0:37 with ease.

Sheesh!

[AfroLady352]

@alcoholharmony Awesome, right?

[alcoholharmony]

@AfroLady352 i just recently got up there for a moment in my recent video.

I didn't know Rah-rah could go up there.

He shocked me.

[AfroLady352]

@alcoholharmony He never shocks me. He's awesome.

[JazzyBelle30]

LOL....

I wish that dude with that terrible tenor would stop singing in the background..

[Steadyareyouready]

@JazzyBelle30 lol yeees

[JazzyBelle30]

Dam.. This dude can sing for no reason.

I love him for it.

Love him at second 25 and after. The whole song.

[urstruly83]

He reminds me of Tonex!!!

[alcoholharmony]

Wasn't he just feeling his Mahi Mahi?

I love Rahsaan. He's definitely underrated.

[tootie0581]

Duran, your style reminds me of him. Wow!

[alcoholharmony]

@tootie0581 Indeed. He and I need to collab one day.

[tootie0581]

That'd be hot!

[ilise923]

This is a funny video but you can tell he is really feeling the music. He sounds awesome!

[tennesseeown]

wish it was longer...loved it!!!

[maconki1]

I agree prouddog

[detroithonie]

THis is a funny video but I love him!!!!!!!!!!!!

[prouddog1]

My Lady and I saw him in sacramento for the first time. It was so awsome. this guy should be out there with the rest of the stars. Someone needs to give him a big big break.

[maconki1]

I started buying his CDs back in the ninties before he got really big and I still love him til this very day! People are sleeping on him big time!

[GiuseppePascuale928]

That falsetto is sick, truly amazing. Wish I could do that!

[TheAnt901]

[slimsxyblkwoman]

This guy is one of the most underrated male singers in the game! It's a damn shame how the establishment promotes the hell out of NON-talented, mindless, degenerate trash but let gems like this man slip through the cracks! It's a SHAME to the industry and black music as a whole!

[EbonVoicez]

[tacoque]
