  • One of the best all-time songs in history.  The lyrics: Beautiful!!! Music: Sensational and touching. This song hits you right in the "HEART"!!!! Boz at his best!!!! In PEACE and LOVE!!!! Sonny

  • Great lyrics work!!!

  • nice song :3

  • Rita Cooledge murdered this beautiful song. Scaggs wrote this song and he shows how to sing it.

  • Nice work with the lyrics!

    I like it a lot! ☮

  • cheers my dear.

    and happy new years from me

  • Jinkies! Boz is BOSS! Thanks for uploading this delightful version of one of my all time favorite tunes! Happy Holidays! :-)

  • For years I only heard Rita Coolidge's version and until I heard Boz Scaggs original I didn't even know he wrote it. So I bought a a 45' of Boz's version to go with the Coolidge record I already had. Boz definitely brought forth more depth to this song than Rita. Great song!

  • Is this the Kermit the frog version?

  • I love thinking of songs I used to listen to and finding them here after so many years.

  • would love to find/hear boz and rita singing this song as a duet! but, yah, he is the bomb!

  • 何時聞いても素晴らしい曲です。

    僕の息子たちにもこういう曲の歌詞のような

    恋愛をしてもらいたいなと強く思います。

    

  • Hey, It ain't easy to be green!!! LOL

  • One of the Best Love Songs Ever!! Thank you for posting with those beautiful lyrics. Boz Scaggs is so talented, he sings with such emotion.

  • he sounds like Kermit The Frog...xD I'm sorry! Its a VERY Emotional song and I have FELL IN LOVE with it ;')

  • it reminds me of my high school days my crush... 1980... samuel j. canoy

  • Beautiful song. Bozz was/is a phenomenal talent. I never thought he got his "due". Anyway, where can I get one of those magenta suit coats? :))

  • this is heartfelt...rita's is sexy/sensual...just my opinion,anyway...

  • I hate being alone,

  • MARAMING MASAKIT MARAMING MASAYA MASARAP BALIKAN LAHAT NG NAKARAAN

  • i always love this song !! fantastic !!!

  • nico song

    

  • Great version. I suggest everyone look up Cecilio and Kapono's version on YouTube. I think many of you will become fans. Great Hawaiian group that hit it big in the 70's and 80's. Still around performing...still representin'!

  • got goose bumps everytime i hear this song..it's totally beautiful..brings back memories from the past.. :(

  • Wow, i found an old boz scaggs cd at the thrift store, and i haven't heard this in years. I can't get it out of my mind. The song forces you to feel something. Amazing.

  • Vea pues... No sabía que éste era el origen de "Impaciencia" de Gilberto Santa Rosa....

  • Sounds like a Muppet.

  • @Shirokinukatsukami

    Funny. I was thinking the same thing before I read your comment. I was thinking maybe Fozzie Bear from the Muppets. Great song and great singer though.

  • a time when there were no cellphones! no internet! no mp4s! FABULOUS times and PRICELESS!

  • soul touching...my favourite though all his music is wonderful!

  • I love this version as well as the one by Rita Coolidge.

  • Only ever knew the Rita Coolidge version .. does anyone else hear a lil Jim Nabors up in here? (and if you have to ask/google Jim Nabors you need not respond) .. but a new found respect for this song indeed ..

  • Mary...essa é pra vc

  • tis song is indeed yhe most beautiful lovesongs of all time

  • Every single time I hear this song it takes me back to a time of simplicity and wonder. When we were young, not a care in the world, and first romances. Absolutely LOVE this song. One of, if not the greatest, love song ever written.

  • at 2:55 I think the correct original lyric is "owe it to the wind", but I noticed in the live versions, he started singing "throw it to the wind". I think it's interesting that possibly other artists covered his song and misunderstood the lyric or substituted the lyric and then boz may have heard it and agreed that it sounded better or made more sense and changed it himself.

  • my god....this song is absolutely beautiful.....

  • I WAS ASLEEP THE 1ST TIME I HEARD BOZ'S VERSION. IT CAME ON THE RADIO IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT AND WOKE ME UP. I COULDNT BELIEVE IT. IT TOOK ME TO ANOTHER PLACE. ITS A MAGICAL MELODY AND A BEAUTIFUL COMPOSITION. IVE ALWAYS LOVED RITA'S VERSION, BUT NOW I LOVE THEM BOTH. IT DOESNT MATTER WHOSE VERSION IS BEST; ITS JUS A SHAME THAT WE DONT HAVE MUSIC LIKE THAT TODAY. NOTHING TUGS THE HEART ANYMORE.

  • @stardeau28 Yeah, I first heard this song on the radio when I was asleep too...........It is truly an inspiring melody!!!

  • この曲、感動しますね。

    とてもいい歌です。

  • what amazing song, thank you boz for the beautifull moment

  • THE FIRST TIME WE HEARD THIS SONG WE PRACTICED IT IMMEDIATELY AND PLAYED IN OUR GIGS (1979-80) IN THE PHILIPPINES ,PEOPLE STARTED ASKING US THE TITLE AND WHO SANG IT ..NEVER HAD A DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT IS SONG WILL BE A HIT ...........AND IT WAS .........................BEAUT­IFUL SONG ..

  • Tears just fall down listening to this.... the emotions n passions in the song.. just touches my heart, so much.

  • 2 dislikes???? What's to hate???? Legendary

  • Once the story's told, it can't help but grow old...never.This song is beautifully sung by Boz Scaggs.....

  • i miss my father when i hear this song...he passed away already.... :(((

  • música muitooo linda!!! queria certa pessoa ao meu lado pra ouvirmos juntos...^^

  • This version is superior to Rita Coolidge's un-emotional one. Boz packs much passion into this, with an excellent arrangement (orchestration). If you agree with this, give the thumbs up to this! Rita's version sucks!

  • @qwertyuiop1193 I totally agree with you. I've always thought Rita Coolidge was a boring singer but it really shows when she sings a song like this that was previously done by such a great artist who put so much feeling into it.

  • @qwertyuiop1193 I wouldn't call Boz's a 'version' as it was the original and he wrote it too but I'm sure you know this. It sounds like you're still a little bitter at Rita's success with it after all these long years. I grew up with Rita's version and strangely enough dreamt of it last night even though I have never owned a Rita record. I love her version but will give you a thumbs up if you think it really matters. I'm sure Rita will cope with your opinion.

  • @qwertyuiop1193 ... You are SO VERY CORRECT !

  • @qwertyuiop1193 100% Right

  • @qwertyuiop1193 i doubt Rita can spell emotion, let alone experience one! She phoned in her "version", don't know how anyone thought it deserved any air play

  • @qwertyuiop1193 ps - ditto for her version of "your love....is lifting me blah blah" she is bloody terrible

  • @qwertyuiop1193 Sorry, I can't agree that the Rita Coolidge version sucks. Yes, I prefer the Boz Scaggs original but I still like the RC cover, especially the guitar work at the end.

  • @spmontgomery ...Exactly! I'd like to add that the production on the Coolidge version was more polished. I also like the sweeter sound of a woman's voice on "sweeter" songs like this. There is more emotion in a woman's voice. Tenderness and sympathy is more emphasized. Great song either way.

  • @qwertyuiop1193

    Interesting how people's opinions can differ. This version does nothing for me, while Rita's drives me to tears. I wouldn't resort to saying either sucks though- to each their own. Thankfully there are many renditions of this beautiful piece to please just about anyone.

  • @qwertyuiop1193 Neither version is better than the other just different,both are beautiful in their own way,just like you & me & everyone else.

  • great singer love his music best of the best

  • im sorry but its the way it is now......all's forgotten now.......

  • I have always adored this song because of it obvious beauty and melody but mainly because of its absolute poetry. Oh to write a lyric such as "Close the window, calm the light". This you tube clip has shown for all to see the art of poetry...thanks and well done!
