  • U Need To Get Up And Dances On This Song

  • R.I.P. A.P!

    

  • I met Art Porter at an independent music conference hosted by my mother and an oraganization she was affiliated with (midAIR) in Chicago. I was merely a child in the industry, literally, but I had always loved jazz, and I knew Art Porter well. He was a kind man, with a wam smile and always something nice, and or encouraging to say. I was devastated when I learned of his death. He will be missed always, by myself, my family, and many others.

  • I first met Art in a store I walked into. I asked the clerk who are ya'll playing on the store speakers and she said, let me ask my manager. She came back to say it was Art Porter and I was hooked. 1998 Baybrook Mall just out of Houston, Tx. It hurt when he died, it alway's does when a sound touches your life...

  • I love this song. It is just so mellow. It takes me back to sitting on my deck on a warm summer's evening with a glass of wine.

  • aww, the two people that disliked this didn't get another chance....

  • Great musicians and song.

  • Great songs and musicians

  • Another great one! Love Lalah

  • I love this song- smooth grooves, nothing like 'em. thanks for the post!

  • I live in Md. They play this on WHUR 96.3. I knew it was Lalah but I would always miss when they annouced the name of the song. I been looking for this for years. Thanks for the upload. What a great song!!

  • I love this song!

  • love,thistrack

  • THANK YOU SOO MUCH vICTORNEWMAN06 FOR POSTING THIS VERSION. i'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SOOOOO LONG. AND I'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER FOR SOMEONE TO POST THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THIS SONG ON HERE....THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PEACE BLESSINGS UNTO YOU!!!!!!!!

  • This was the very first Art Porter Song that I ever heard. It totally blew me away. I had no idea that he was a jazz musician.. So you could imagine what happened when I eventually discovered that he was one of the funkiest sax players of his generation. The jazz world lost a gem

  • R.I.P Art Porter This music is just awesome

  • RIP Art Porter Jr. He was only 30+ something when tradegy stuck. Which is basically no life at all for a person and even more than that an accomplished talented jazz saxophonist.

    I often ask myself why are great, noble and talented soilders are taken away from us so soon in this world? When yet they still have so much to offer us and have made good, valid, genuine contributions in more ways than one.

  • Yet again vic06 you have shared a song which has become an inevitable ' grower ' in my book.

    Many Thanks:)

  • I agree beyond words...

  • ITS CALLED "THE RAPTURE"

  • niiiice!

  • my husband and i met in 2001 and this is the first song that we considered to be ours.this song is still important to us 5 kids later.

  • awesome :)

  • man this song was dope, i love the video for it, it used to come on alot on bet jazz's soul sessions..anybody know where i can get this song?

  • It was a video for it????

  • yep...He was in it, but I dont remember seeing Lalah

  • Vic. This is croon3. My brother, I didn't know you were from Little Rock, so am I. I Lived off of Ringo St.[2110 off of wright Ave.]Lived in Village Square Apts. way back in the day.Holla at me cause Chuckii Booker is my homeboy and he played keys on my first single in 89'

    Croon3

  • That's cool, I live in Otter Creek...I used to get my hair cut off of Wright Ave (Esquire Styles) back in the day. That's cool, we have somewhat of a kinship, now LOL. Tell Chuckii he still has a fan (I used to play the hell out of "Games"). Holla at me, man and take care.

  • I never met Art Jr personally. I've given his CD's as gifts to people who think they don't like jazz -- they always have a change of attitude! I remember his dad, Art Sr and the Art Porter Trio from waaaaay back. I see Art Sr around Little Rock occasionally. Where did Art Jr's kids and wife settle down? Are they in Little Rock? Didn't Buddy Guy's son live here for a time, or do you know?

  • I'm sure he would have appreciated it my brother.I don't know if they're still in Little Rock, them or Buddy Guy

    Take care and god bless

  • Did Chuckii produce this song? It sounds like him. I love Chuckii!!

  • Chuckii did in fact produce this, also on this track is his wife Tami singing backgrounds. Great song. R.I.P. Art Porter.

  • Chuckii's married? damn.

  • I love them two together!!! ... this has always always been a jam of mine. Art Porter - RIP* ... I'm missing your impecable sound. What a great musician he was. :-)

  • I cringe & I cry just thinking of how this young talented humble brothers life was cut so short. Art was a very very good natured person and I miss him and his hearty smile and laughter. He will live on in memory by the mark that he left behind, his wonderful music and his two Son's.

  • This is a beautiful song. A talented musician and a gifted singer makes a great song.

    Thank you for posting this.

  • Art Porter, Jr. Is the Man!!!!!

  • Hook a brotha up with a rating or two LOL
