This is such a beautiful song ! When i think of LTD , i think of Jeffery Osborne leading the songs. But this was one of their best even without jeffery
By the way, I love to listen to both lead singers. It is not a competitive thing with me. It is just that the facts should be right. I am so glad that it was cleared up in the response by "my1mom" that Andre' Ray was the lead vocalist.
I love this song so much and most everything LTD puts out. However, Jeffrey Osbourne didn't sing lead in this song. Jeffrey Osbourne is one of the best singers in the music industry, but why is his pcture flashed throught this whole vidoo? This is why our young people are confused about our music history.
In life, we come across things that take us back to a time when things were simpler, real and meaningful. This song is one of those for me. Makes me think of how powerful words and messages are/can be. Be well everyone.
DONT READ THIS IT ACTUALLY WORKS. U WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF UR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF UR LIFE. HOWEVER IF U DO NOT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN THE NEXT THE NEXT DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READING THIS SO DONT STOP. THIS IS SO SCARY PUT THIS ON AT LEAST 5 VIDEOS IN THE NEXT 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS THIS IS SO SCARY
This song is sung by the brother of Jeffrey Osborne after Jeff left L.T.D. and went solo. I don't know why people always lie, cheat, steal,and front about what they do and don't do. One of the reasons many of the beloved Vocal Groups are having a hard time finding musicians for their live performances, is the fact that they give no recognition to the players of their music!! Plus it's well known now about the old two contract rip-off phenomenon managers of vocal groups use to cheat players
cool man i'm glad i looked up share my love...i actually forgot ltd dropped this beautiful song...nice to see one of the writers and your daughter comment. thank you two for blessing us. especially when it came out
I was in the army station in W.Germany from1979 to 82. What A Beautiful Song and I've been singing it singing it since. by The Way, I thought Jeffrey O. was leading this song back then.
@Knen62 April Love was song by Andre Ray who was the first lead singer after the departure of jeffery Osborn. Andre was replace by Leslie Wilson a few years later.
The lead singer to this song was either Melvin or Leslie Wilson, the lead singer to the group New Birth who made major hits such as Wildflower, Been such a long time and Dream Merchant. He joined L.T.D. after Jeffrey Osbourne went solo.
I believe the lead singer to this song was either Melvin or Leslie Wilson, the lead singer to the group New Birth who made major hits such as Wildflower, Been such a long time and Dream Merchant.
getting hitched to this song, my best friend from school is singing this live...met my boo in april....got engaged in August......that what good converstions and good coochie will get u!!
Oh lord help me somebody please. This song is so incredibly beautiful. The prettiest song I have ever heard. I think I'm in total heaven. Oh yessssssssssssss......
I've always loved this song and the water is perfect. But....those pictures are of Jeffrey Osborne who wrote the song I believe, but that's Leslie Wilson of New Birth singing. I still have the 45rpm (am I telling my age??) and it stills sounds just like this video. So my 45 gives credit to Leslie Wilson and it sounds just like him since he used to sing gospel with a friend of mine on the "chittlin circuit" and I have ALL of the New Birth wax. Luv it!
@teflo2 Leslie WILSON sung WILD FLOWER @ also I CAN UNDERSTAND IT AND BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME.AS WELL AS NUMEROUS SONGS WITH NEW BIRTH. BUT IS THE BROTHER STILL AROUND?
I want 2 thank all of 'u listeners here on YouTube 4 all of the warm replys...I happen 2 b' 1 of the writers of "APRIL LOVE"...This song was written 4 a couple of people, 1 being my Daughter 'n particular...she was born 'n April of 1979, so I had written the song way b4 we (L. T. D.) had recorded it. I would like 2 from the bottom of my Heart, say thank 'u once again.
PS...Andre' Ray was the lead vocalist on this song, and he did a GR8 job.
@my1mom This song was is and will always be a pure MONSTER of a love song..... I have always wondered about when a person knows that a song he or she has created is classic..... Maybe a matter of personal opinion... or are you ever really sure? I knew what this was the first time I heard it.
@my1mom That song has been my all time favorite ballard ever since I was 9 years old. Now I'm 39. You're a total genius! Thank you for writing such a timeless masterpiece. bTW, I was always curious who the lead vocalist was. For years I thought it was O'Brian.
Actually, Andre' Ray and Leslie Wilson were in the group at the same time. The first album after J.O. left was called "Love Magic". It was a pretty nice LP.
I agree with mdobbs1970--brings back those same memories of timing the cassette player. LOL I loved the music even back then as a child, and now as an adult I have a whole new level of appreciation--
@enorytl--I was only familiar with J.O. as lead singer and am just learning who this Leslie Wilson is and had no idea about the connection w/New Birth. (I'm thinking of a more heavy raspier singer???)
Wow!!!! I LOVE this song!!!!! I can still listening to the radio late at night trying to catch it so I could record it on my slow jam cassette. Great choice to put on youtube!!!!
This is a song that is so dear to me because I was born in April and April is my favorite time of beautiful weather, romantic times, birds are singing in the mornings and it is the perfect time to make love in the rain. I AM APRIL LOVE and I love this song!
Those making the comparison of the lead here to JoJo - the only similarity I hear between the two is maybe the pitch and frequency. JoJo has nowhere near the tonal quality and smoothness of range that Leslie Wilson has. Not even close.
o my god it has been so lng since i been on you tube last time i was on i looked up this song i couldnt find it thank you for putting tha good stuff on keep um comin impacking
Jeffrey is not singing lead on this song. He had left L.T.D. by the time this song was released. It still is a great song. It reminds me of my April Love of 1983. D.M.J., mi corazon
thank you so much. I have been looking for this song for a while it reminds me of someone special to me he died in 1982 and on that night I went to see him he was in I.C.U. he could not talk to me but I heard this song in my mind and after all these years the song April Love is still with me
This song has a special meaning and i am getting misty just thinking about it. Sorry, choosing not to share the details, but she knows who she is.
