Alexander O'Neal - "If You Were Here Tonight"

[cavs102000]

this whole album was the s__t back then, It's still cool to listen to when you need to think!

[DAGOONZJAY]

real love song

[ssmi636]

This was supposed to be the lead vocalist of The Time, but he would not take Prince's(Jamie Starr) shit, lol. Prince was an a**hole back then, he also made one the pseudonyms to his name (Alexander Nevermind), lol; Hmmm....I wonder, where did he get that? Prince was a shady kat!

[blstheone]

This song brings back some awesome memories - 1985 - they should do a "unsung epsode on Alexander" - whatever happened to him - don't think he made it out of the 80's - too bad......terrible video - they must not have had a budget for a professional directed video.

[MrHandsallover]

@blstheone They already did one on him last year

[DONALDODAVISINI]

Lost my heart to this beautiful blonde girl who was as bad then as Bobby

Brown in his day... just hearing this song breaks my heart all over...

[jmbo72]

smooth song! Alexander has certainly been underrated even when he was succesful back in the late eighties!

[EricStradamus]

Wow this is a beautiful song i must say..love it to bits. So relaxin.

[mikeyrue]

This is a timeless song. It reminds me of the days of Vaughn Harper's Quiet Storm, on WBLS in NY. 

[ExignotysTube]

sottotono - amor de mi vida -.-

[kaabbaaq1]

Minneapolis "soul man" and one of the greatest yet obscure singers of our respective era, sad!!!

[nniuqed]

@kaabbaaq1 by no means "obscure or sad"....recently saw the unsung episode about him, and he is/was wildly succesfull in Europe and still tours and does sold out concerts and shows in Europe, he just never had much success in the U.S. but in Europe he was and still is huge.

[Ganjwarrior]

I can't stop listening to this track! I love the "doo-doo-doo-doo doo" synth sound.

[LucyPearl75]

Why do I get a Morris Day vibe from him.lol

[lilacs91]

As the night moves in, love takes a new meaning. ♥

[ChinaCrues]

love this song damn...if u were with me now....the stuff we could getinto haha

[giseba7]

Heard this on the radio this week. Keeps playing in my head.

Had to find out who sings this great song from the 80's! :)

[fabulousgerro661]

Love this. Great powerful vocals from the ex-bouncer.

[luciousm1967]

Can it get any better, real music hear. All we have left is Maxwell and Kem

[msgud100]

the song is the shit tho

[JihadBunnydick]

Alex and his obsession with beds!

[hammeredscout]

Great album

[homegrowndave]

i got into rock at 15 or so and played in bands,but remember all this stuff and have appreciation for it .just a question ,those of you who are old enough do you remember slow songs at clubs??it changed to manic dance without a break..even though i didnt go to them clubs by then,well tried a couple, but the "slow dance"especially at the end of the night was when you had a little dance with a girl you had your eye onto exchange numbers.differentnow ,you change names the next morning,if lucky,sad

[loveblackbeauty67]

PUT ME IN A DIFFERENT WORLD

[TheSeriousBlaque]

I had my first (real) kiss to this song. I go right back to that exact moment whenever I hear this. One of the BADDEST men of that era.

[msnikkia1]

That is funny when he acts like he's dreaming and pop out of his sleep.

[ddermend]

best 80s clip

[jarbon5]

I know his friends used to tear his ass up about the video. and I can't even begin to blame them:)

[MysticSonic007]

sooooooooooooooooooooo underrated

living in Mississippi i can tell you, these people inspire us from a life of mediocrity

everyone always talking about how fat we are and bring up the war and slaves..

and yet here is a beautiful song entertaining you all

[IzrailGhazi]

This song is nice but them facial expressions are MESSED UP!

[LadyZaza7]

@IzrailGhazi I loved his music but he was over the top with the dramatic stuff. It was funny.

[cazman35]

I can NEVER get enough of this song. I listen to it so much you would think I would get burned out, but his voice is so exquisite I am addicted!

[1dillontaylor]

Am i the only one who thinks the video is okay? This song kicks ass and  the video is better than some gay - ass shit like Thriller by Jacko

[jfromdachi30]

I FELL IN LOVE ON THIS SONG...

[88sili]

I'm learning this one for karaoke. Don't bring yo girl to karaoke when I'm around.

[1axalove]

I met a lot of people in the biz back then, they all said the same thing: Prince was a talented, but insecure little SOB who was extremely threatened by anyone in town who didn't follow the leader. He tried to blacklist many other talented folks. Jam & Lewis ( 2 real gentlemen) did fine without him. This video IS cheesy! But the song is strong, and Alex was truly a nice guy before the stuff took him over.

[Fasneocroth]

The melody plays my soul

[TheBubblez10]

What a song!!! He was on Wife Swap but hes a complete TOOL

[toowet2plownow]

I know what happen in this, Prince gave him the wrong advice on the sexy part and got Alex all jack up. Let's see if the rest of his videos are like this. Prince is still laughing until this day about the video....he look into Prince eyes didn't he?

[Kelby4581]

This video was awful, but I have always liked this song. That is not sexy. Ha!

[hassandandsumaya]

ummmmmmmmmm p.s. when he sits up in bed is there like a fly going around him or what? What is he looking at??? hahahahaaaaaaa

[hassandandsumaya]

I love to listen to this song!!!!!!!!!!!! But DANG..........I just can't take watching the video. The crazy eyes makes me have nightmares.......hahahahaaaaaa­aaaaaaa!

[xtrme99]

Lol at the failed attempt to be sexy xD

still love the song though.

[life55998]

@xtrme99 yeah i don't like they way the men tried to be sexy them they acted so feminine back then

[bigvoicebigsong]

@xtrme99 ,,lol at your ass..

[sugarbabe1a]

@ hopefulmodel. He's scared because he killed her. he's not really missing her so much as being haunted. Funny faces or not, I love this video though.

[sugarbabe1a]

@Breezy Nope me and my sisters have a laugh every time we see it too!  He's crazy or scared?

I'd like to know why she isn't there.

[StarTwynkle]

I love this song, but I can't watch the video without laughing. He facial expressions is like that of a woman trying to be sexy. I'm sure he has to look back at it and just shake his head. All he had to do was be sauve and just sing.

[hopefulmodel]

Please tell me why he popped up looking terrified????

[hopefulmodel]

This video is not sexy it is too funny, ALexander tryin to look sexy!

[cjewelz]

@hopefulmodel  This was 1985, son. Music videos were still a new thing. The stars of now are trained for this thing.

[TheCocoa18]

1....2....3..3:45 LMAO

[TheCocoa18]

This makes me laugh. I'm so goofy

[mskiara18]

Lol it wasn't that funny (well to me) just creepy :)

[only1me2]

I promise you, turn off the sound and watch this video on mute, hilarious yet creepy at the same time. Love this song though.

[124sexylady]

Alex's way of batting his eyes is a signature look that came from his days the band The Time..He was the original lead vocalist for that band before Morris Day if u notice Morris Day does the same thing with his eyes..Prince created this look and his proteges Morris Day and Alex followed.. that pretty much explains the wild eyed looks he keeps giving..

[MyJunior1975]

Alexander O'Neal- the Carl Thomas of the 1980's.

[jjsassenach1]

I think Alexander is damm good, saw him at Wembley late 80's

[juve954]

Beat your meat and get it over with... Love the song though

[Pharmacy201188]

Why he had to hurt himself like he did. I miss his gifted voice. to much money to fast.

[blackorpheus77]

This is such a great song too bad he jumped out of his sleep at the end of the video batting his eyes and looking around on some homo shit...lol

[cpiman2009]

This video reminds me of the 80's hit show Miami Vice :)

[jflow08]

As beautiful as this song is, having Alexander twist and writhe in the bed half naked does only adds to the circa-1980s VHS porno tape look.

I can only image him on the set with the director..."Alex baby, you're doing great but give me more tortured doe-eyed artist look" LOL

[JellyBean2144]

Uncle Monte did a great job on this song but Alex's vocals took it to another level. Like freels777 stated, this jam is priceless. This is a treasure.

[kimscustomcapsetsy]

His songs NEVER get old! Love him.....

[freelsjr777]

This jam is priceless, memorial. Wow!

[RockinRob69]

This tape got worn out all thru the 80's and 90's. The best!

[leah0006]

@RockinRob69

I dont know if he was talking about a man or a woman?????

[taptap69tap]

@leah0006 That motherf*cker has 8 children, I think it might have been a woman. LOL!!!!

[dogpound1984]

Am I the only one who thinks Alex was actin a lil feminine in this video?

[kayjack35]

@ Breezy1191. Naw, I did too! I was hollering!

[FrshJurassicPrnceYA]

"Thumbs up if you weren't even born when this came out"

[quensel0]

ok is he singing to a man or a women he looks suspect in this video

[nitrostang50]

EXCELLENT,just like always.

[iasiahd74]

Love this especially when Im on a road trip!!

[tizmo1000]

this is my ''driving in the rain'' song,i swear it sounds even more beautiful whn ur drivin in the rain!

[shamikathesongbird]

@tizmo1000 ....It makes you feel like you are in the video....lol

[MsZahra87]

BOSSIP brought me here!

[heniroos]

Thank you so much for posting this!! So happy I found this amazing song! To me, it will always be Steve and Kayla's song on Days of Our Lives!!! :-)

[TheRealWorldwide2]

so 240p, we meet again.

[Breezy1191]

so am the only one who bursts out laughing at 3:43 when he pops out of that sleep? I CANT be the only one!

[shamikathesongbird]

I was cracking up when he popped up too! that shows you how far videos have come...Did you see him on the Bet awards? @Breezy1191 

[theallwrongguy]

@Breezy1191 i did... lol



[LaTigreBlue]

@Breezy1191 It's funny but it's typical eighties cheese.

[raheemellis]

@LaTigreBlue 80s pimpin

[whitesongs73]

@Breezy1191

yeah that is funny as hell

[aGwEENapple]

@Breezy1191 Shut up please, don't get me going! LOL =D Too much!

[Transformation18]

@Breezy1191 You should here how my homeboy talks about that part-- makes reference to Alexander Oneal being gay and looking for a dick to suck-- crude, but hilarious. lmao-

[aathnd08]

@Breezy1191 LOL! My best friend told me to look this up just to see him pop out of bed! lol

[noirnoticvibe]

@Breezy1191 as a kid when i first so the video back in the 80's i was laughing so hard i started crying.. his acting skills was so horrible that this became my favorite video...

[NeonSunset23]

@Breezy1191 no one pops outta bed singing like that lmao

[TheCocoa18]

@Breezy1191 No. I did it too. Well basically at the whole video. lmao

[globalsbc]

@Breezy1191 Damn!You right,it fucked me up! I could only laugh but das my man Alex,i luv his work!

[Thetasteofhoney1]

@Breezy1191 Everything after 3:43 is the best part of the video. I think there is something Alexander forgot to tell us.......very suspect! lol....

[hmbell2002]

@Breezy1191 that is funny. the way he wake up is fake as hell. but I still got love for Alexander O'Neal. this song is the $hit

[11jakayla]

@Breezy1191 yo!!!! hell yeah and whats with the blinking>> lmao

[GenVirtu]

Damn....this brings back memories!

[nickydoubled]

[GibbyGibbyGibb]

Always liked this, it's a lovely song and very mellow he has a gorgeous voice. I wish they'd make songs like this today. It makes me angry that they value image over talent now.

[brazeisha80]

One of the greatest singers and performing artists of the 80s. His ballards and upbeat songs have truly made me happy and fortunate to be alive everyday to enjoy great talent and people as Alex O. always and forever the MAN and Original!

[darnsfdj]

80's baby!

[MrAllenc79]

It's a shame black artist don't make love songs like this anymore.I sure miss the 80's and early 90's back when music was good.

[str8outtatexas1]

@MrAllenc79 -Hey brah I've said it a million times. I'm 44 & grew up on all this great music.These geek,soul-less,sellout,vampire music executives & higher ups know that singing or rapping about bitches,money,cars,bling,house­s,guns,beef,strip clubs & other senseless shit that young blacks are drawn to, their not thinking about great music.If you get time just watch the music videos today on youtube, every one has the same shit in it. drank,bling,money,cars,naked ass women ect. PURE PIPE DREAMS

[88sili]

@str8outtatexas1 Destroying a people's culture is key to controlling them. You should find a book called, "Yurugu".

[TheARMAProductions]

@MrAllenc79 It's because blacks have been gangsterized and whites have been turned into pretty boys by the industry. Anyone above the age of about 30 can see this and this is why I've gone of modern music more or less all together now. There's no orginiality these days thanks to the likes of Xfactor. The last decade has been utter shite.

[aquarius4real]

beautiful

[ajb52171]

Nice slow jam, like a tasty cocktail smooth and mellow

[SuperMrMaintain]

I adore this tune

[MrHalohalo85]

Beautiful Love Song!!!!

[34tinytim]

This is a beautiful song. His sounds so good ,he could sing to me all day. I am in my thirties and heard this song for the first time coming home from work and when I got home I pulled it up on YouTube. This is good music and soothing to your ears especially when you are driving home from work and just peace.
