[kinesha94]

I havent hear this song since I was a teenager. I loved it then and even more now cause I can relate and truly understand it. Moved me to tears just listening to it again!!!

[MRjimvinnburr]

Dolphins Head Coach Tony Sparano sent out a spirited message to Dolfans! He said he needs you all at the stadium & that the team needs your support & undying loyalty. He finished up with "We're going to get there (GET THERE-WHERE? DAMN-iT) one way or the other. I hope its with you but we'll do it without you" What do you think about his message? Will you be cheering on the Fins @SunLifeStadium this season? Sound off here @WPLG Your responses will be read on WPLG Local 10 News @6am "BELiEVE"

[spicksandspecks1]

I watch this video almost everyday.I'm a singer and Howard Hewett is my inspiration.If there's something we have in common,we both sang with Stevie Wonder and I say Amen to that...

[sassnsweet]

It is amazing that the VOCALS are taking precedence over the instruments. Such a sweet pure sound. Raw talent in Howard H :)

[JeanieBristerDesign]

Always will be a classic enlightenment of my world... I love the devotion this song expresses... Amen

[MrJamesDorris]

one of the best songs

[GoddessProductions]

i didn't even know robert townsend could sing!

[mr007tycoon]

I remember watching this live. When did it air, and what was it for? I am losing memory in old age. LOL

[mycupsrunnethover]

@mr007tycoon

It was the end of one of Robert Townsend's comedy specials - Partners In Crime.

[crysjumar1]

@mycupsrunnethover the first one. the funniest one. 

[Junebugg573]

i dont know how he sounds like the cd when he sings live! this is a wonderful song

[Crow742]

This song is a pray/plagde ,I give to only you. (Father Jhovha) I know it can`t compair from the gift from/of you.~nicely saided howard~YOU give me your son, I`ll give you the praise`s I say Amen+DJ

[1Frankenrango]

OMG, what a beautiful song! I had no idea Robert Townsend could sing. But of course Howard Hewitt took this one HOME.

[fonzybear]

@1Frankenrango that was always his baby. GOd bless him!

[salluvsya]

I remember this show and this duet was just amazing!

[mommakat1000]

i love this song . thank you god for giving me one more chance, from the bottom of my heart. bless everyone out there!

[jerseydime10]

DAM Howard can sing is A** OFF!

[44mature]

This song is one of the best ever recorded. If you don't feel something when you hear it - check to see if you still have a pulse. Now, it's best if I listen to it and meditate on the Lord without looking at Howard Hewitt ... he's so fine ... so very fine! Robert Townsend is a surprise on this video ... I don't think he knew what to do ... clearly he was feeling it.

[kamaliyah]

I would like the light skin off of this man! I remember when this went on the air!

[argaretbea]

Music bypasses the brain's filters and goes straight to the jugular. And Howard Hewitt really knows how to do that to effect.

[sarahjeanluvsmusik]

This song is good for the soul I'm going through something right now but I hear something like this and I know it's going to be alright!!!!!!!! Their voices blend magically now I say Amen.

[MsGirl1st]

This is a beautiful and true song. This song just bring out the goodness in me. I can just listen to this all days. An awesome song.

[winkster43]

When you call upon the name of Jesus the evil one does not stand the first chance. It just breaks my heart to know that so many people have rejected Jesus as their Lord and saviour after what He took on our transgressions. Nowadays when someone tells you that you need Jesus it is the absolute truth I know thats i cannot function without him. Jesus gives the Holy spirit to all those who ask of Him. Remember Jesus is Love.

[Nijeta1]

@winkster43 Totally agree. I need Jesus every day, and I do mean every day, All day. I really don't understand how people can go with out Him. When I back slide and was calling on Him, I was a mess, during that time was the worst time in my life. Living for Jesus is for our own good. Serving Him is easier than being bound by the enemy & being totally lost on the way to the pit. So I know better then to try to slip away or be led of the enemy & my flesh. It is totally not worth it.. God bless u

[bjlopez1130]

@winkster43 - Amen to that!

[chaminadeballer25]

@winkster43 you aren't lying about that. GOD Bless you brotha

[bretony]

robert townsend????

[upclose22]

Incredibly talented singer and so "FINE". I loved all his songs. This takes me way back. I also miss Shalamar! Can't help but appreciate the "true" artists of the 50s, 60s 70's & 80s. They truly set the bar as far as talent goes. Saw him perofrm in the 80s, along with Luther Vandross! Truly amazing night!

[romanceorjeri]

I agree...but everybody knows y...this is "world's system". People that really do claim 2 be christians and have not sold out seem to get the short end of the stick.

[Robinzgrl2]

Beautiful, moving... Amen

[lildre502]

This is one of the most best songs that Howard Hewitt ever made it will be around

for a long time very uplifting.

[504GAYWOMAN37]

i love robert townsend, he is 1 of the best comediens, howard voice is just so amazing, i loved in shalamer

[TheMaramara68]

I love this song. They played in Jamaica on Fame fm sometimes at mid-day.. I've searchd for it for a long time...Finally I can listen to it as often as possible... Thank you

[luvnikki1]

beautiful!

[percyrusty]

i love them both....robert has such a sparkle in his eyes and both r just awesome here

[MsGirl1st]

This is an awesome song. Howard Hewett and Robert Townsend sounds GRRRRREEEEAAAATTTT.

[365Boogiedown]

Listen to the words, this song is so powerful to me.

[Brownfreckles]

beautiful voice, beautiful song

[diane44507]

Man, the ending is the best part, i wish it didnt get cut off. Nevertheless, this song IS a classic and will never die. I cannot for the life of me remember what play this song was in. Does anyone remember?

[dleet101]

This was from and HBO Comedy special that Robert Townsend did years ago and at the end of the special Howard Hewitt came on the show and sang the song with Robert Townsend

[torontojayblue]

STILL an awesome production & performance

[chicagoconnoisseur]

This song is Pure Excellence!

[abbyja]

[chrisieb1]

@Spark19me Robert Townsend was singing with Howard Hewitt.

[mistaeric]

Whats Robert up to these days?

[theladyliz2002]

Two of my favorite men together almost too much. There is nothing moe hansome than a man in touch with his spirituality

[foxyker]

Thank you spark19me, everyone seems to think its robert, no its howard hewitt....

[spark19me]

[northphillyhustler]

This was and is still my prayer. i just got goose bumps watching this. a beautiful song. thanks for posting it. Amen

[shydmples]

I love Robert so much....very talented

[floater89104]

[missnicquie]

[dainfantry]

[sistalinda]

Beautiful heartfelt performance.

[jojoledet]

one of the greatest singers Ever!

[LuvlyLimey]

I've always liked this song and even after all these years, it's still sounds good

[POPJack1717]

What a POWERFUL song. 25 years later this song is still a huge hit. Love the collaboration. Good job boys good job.

[vytildie]

NE YO,K YO, T-YO-TPAIN, Acorn, AKon...These people are making MILLIONS OF DOLLARS and this man DOES NOT EVE HAVE A CONTRACT!?!?!

Something is WRONG!

[Bigg3464]

@vytildie so fucking true!

[Acousticsoul215]

@vytildie - You aint ever lie! This doesn't make any damn sense!

[channa757]

@vytildie: are you serious? that is not right. this man has this amazing song and great voice!

[tayneshia]

I love this song...Howard Hewitt has a great voice!

[jtvette2001]

Amen, Brother....

[rudeboysly]

oustanding

[hallsway21]

I think rob did a very good job. He's not howard, but very respectable. Howard was on Tom Joyner about a year ago doing a live mini-concert and did a nice version of this song. Does anyone have it by chance? If so, please post it. Howard was looking pretty good. He's a big guy now. I likes the big guys.

[imbees2]

I was at the House of Blues in LA Howard was scheduled to perform. The sound system went out. Howard came out and sang his entire show, including this song, acapella. Best concert I have ever been to. That's for sure. Howard said, I'm singing, don't worry!!!!! And he did

[RTDavis0503]

Howard Hewitt is one of my vocal mentors...I would have never started singing (seriously) if it was not for that man..

[imbees2]

love me some Howard Hewitt. He sings his ass off. I saw him in person, the sound system went out at the venue, he just kept on singing his show acappela. It was the best

[EXTENDED91]

if this song doesn't touch you, you must be def..

[deja30907]

This was my cousin Markese favorite song.....cant believe I came across it. He made me love this song.I need to call him...Thanks for putting this song up

[reneephillip]

you go howard..........I always luv you. w/ or w/o Shalimar

[myrabradwell40]

Robert held his own. He is no Howard, but then again who is?

[joynpayne]

This man, Howard Hewett has been blessed with quite a voice, he knows how to use it to spead the message of a love that brings with it trust, mercy, forgiveness, kindness, protection, unselfishness, forefillness, non-judgemental, joyfulness, healing, joyfullness, Peaceful, deciplined, yet jelious.

[MsDebate]

Sang brothers, this song is a wonderful testiment of God!!!

[jtsctv5]

Robert Townsend is truly a gentleman. I think he did a good job.

[drtinawisewriters]

I think this song is so dynamic and full of the Holy Spirit that is blesses me each time I hear it!

[232323ish]

I love this song

[filmgirlLisa]

Man! I remember watching this like 20 times 20 years ago!! 20 years?!!!

Howard Hewett was one beautiful man!

[KadmonHillz]

I think Robert was intimidated a little but maybe he should have hung in there a little bit..He started off alright but I can't look at at this and tell if he was truly worthy of singing on stage with Howard or not..By the way this song has GREAT LYRICS.

[babyboi1002]

Robert>>>>>>>>Male singers today...

[latashacrr]

i had a cush on him to and i was like 5.

[woodarddi]

I agree Robert was not bad but his mistake was to sing with Howard. Boy did I use to have a crush on Howard Hewitt, but he's talented. Love me some Howard!

[soulquarian69]

what an amazing finish...

[thechozen12]

rob wasnt bad surprised me 2

[TheDemonettes]

Robert wasn't bad, his mistake if any........was to sing with the likes of HOWARD HEWITT........still a beautiful song.

[ccth22]

Robert was pretty good considering it's not what he does for a living. Some who do it for a living sound worse.

[uniekcreation]

Had NO idea Robert Townsend was a singer..lol.

[NIGHTWHMAN]

I know, but he did the part though, not too bad of a singer

[REMEDY702614]

hes not a singer.he should have never opened his mouth.

[Terrellclaw]

he siung in the five heartbeats movie

[CHERRILICOUS81]

he is still fine to me

[rclemente21]

Robert's not bad at all, love his film making skills. He should have stood up when singing, it opens up the diaphram and I'm sure he would've sounded better.

Not quite to HH's gift, that guy's simmple one of the best male vocalists. Very unique and powerful voice. I wanna hear him and James Ingram (they are friends) do a duet...a gospel song would be nice.

[kameelahb9]

I remember watching this years ago on HBO. I love Robert Townsend he is such an inspirational man who never got the props he deserves. Also, Howard he is one of the best R&B singers ever.

[Change2be]

Such a beautiful song!

[woodarddi]

Boy did I use to have a crush on Howard Hewitt, but it was more bout his singing. I had no idea he was so short, but he can sing!

[Change2be]

He maybe short but he's still fine as he wants to be. Have you seen him lately he's built and has remarried! Do you know who he married?

[msrakestrau]

Howett is one of the best singers, I want this song played at my funeral...

[RTDavis0503]

Howard Hewitt was cold.... man..I wish the video did not cut off on the best part. I love the falsetto on the end. Dude was waaaay underated. One of the best of all time.

[CHILLUT]

i didnt know that robert can sing. this is a nice video.

[momodani7]

lol I thought he was mocking him lmao

[mnscgirl9507]

I was shocked, too. And knowing the kind of person Robert is he was not mocking Howard at all.

[Change2be]

Robert surprised me on his singing !

[teaguer1908]

This is the song I want played at my wedding reception one day.

[smoovt69]

R.I.P MICHEAL HONEY!!! 1LUV

[rclemente21]

What a voice!

Does anyone know what show this is from? I love Robt Townsend's movies, Hollywood Shuffle is my favorite. Peace and thanks!

[bkmiz]

It's Robert Townsend's Partner's in Crime..Keen Ivory Wayans, Paul Mooney and more are on this show...it's great..btw, How on earth did Howard land Nia Peables?

[roqulere]

It was the 80's.

[mnscgirl9507]

He landed her and lost her. She left him and their child.

[CHERRILICOUS81]

sing dat song

[mictightener]

Life is love, Say your prayers!!!!!

[gnsky77]

Everywhere I used to go people thought I was Robert Townsend-I even attended Kalita Smith's b-day party and everyone thought I was Robert Townsend (oh Kalita is Bernie Macs wife on the show)-i got to meet Robert at the Rio in Vegas and he was real cool we joked about our resemblance-its funny our mothers share the same first name and his ex wife and my ex wife share the same name -weird huh? oh go howard you can blow brother

[thatsmeyadig]

HOWARD HEWITT WAS ON B.A.P.S.

[gingerjenn38]

love this song!!!

Amen!!!

[Deelolo]

I also have to say, I remember when this was aired. I thought it was so sweet how Robert sang with Howard, very nice! You could tell how much he liked this, very special!-Great memories.

[Deelolo]

Howard Hewitt-Amen! What a beautiful voice and wonderful song!

[awwfunkme]

Twenty years later, this one STILL brings down tears. If you don't feel grateful for being alive after hearing this, you're already dead. Beautiful song. Simply beautiful.

[mprmanny]

I saw this many years ago and can't believe it is on YouTube!

It gives me goosebumps!

[taboo69]

sing it robert

[cw51569]

HE IS MORE THAN FINE, HE IS GORGEOUS

[looliitaah]

this guy is so sexy, very sweeet.

[MJN312]

I remember singing this song, when I went to prison and was thankful to God that He spared my life, and gave me the chance to come back to Him, and sing His Praise. Five years later, I haven't stop singing His Praise

[abimibola10]

Exceptional testimony! I hope you are still praising and that no matter what you will not cease to praise.

[Luckysaiyan]

This song really touches me and makes me cry. I feel so close to God whenever I hear it.

[newton3010]

Amen

[ltbrownhue]

Luv you soooooooooooooooooooooo much Howard with yo' fine ASS Hewitt!!!!

[lakerfanx6]

I remember singing this song in 1988 when I MC'd my high school talent contest.

Great memories.

Thanks

[lakers4life2008]

I remember watching the Robert Townsend special on HBO, and he closed with this song. I have been looking for this for years, it's tight. I am also looking for Alexander O'Neal.... Sunshine.

[bcjohnson4209]

[snakeskate2000]

[Romanticalone]

[robinkcason]
