THS MUSIC IS LIKE A TIME CAPSULE TAKES U BCK 2WEN TIME WAS GOOD 2U 80S,90S HARD TIMES BUT NUTN U CUDNT GET THRU BOI I MISS THOS TIME....WHT A ENDN 2THS SONG A MASTERPIECE!
Big thanks to alltime great songwriter Ivan Lins...who also has his mark on George Benson's hit Dinorah, Dinorah. Divs due where divs due, even if this isn't really Lins' style. His song 'The Island' got hit status through Barbra S in America, even tho' it's not really the orig style....but I believe a well-written song lives thru all stages of metamorphosis!
Ah, this used to be played for the intro to "Whispers in the Dark", from 10p-2a on WGCI in Chicago, when Troi Tyler used to do it. Great song to listen to on a rainy evening.
I second that motion! This was one of my favorite cuts to put on my slow jam tapes back in the day. Most people didn't know who it was singing it. Those are the best songs: Leaving it up to you to guess the artist.
Gracias. Extraordinario el arreglo de Q. y Sara Vaughan... Qué decir. Una camción hermosa que Jones hizo más bella todavía. Una pena que este cd, Back on the Block, se conozca muy poco en argentina y en latinoamérica. Thanks.
I've heard the original but to me Quincy Jones and Co. do this song the way it's suppose to be done to me. The original is a gorgeous song as well, but not as gorgeous as this. This song is absolutely beautiful:)
Not only Take 6, Sarah Vaughn (her last recording), George Benson, George Duke, Gerald Albright and Herbie Hancock to name a few. One of Q's better arrangements.
the original version is by Ivan lins....the both sound the same...ecxellent melody!!...Quincy's version sounds more up to date ofcourse...plus he have all the allstarr musicians on that record!!...overall it's lovely!!
This means u r ol' skool! Yes this is memorable song...and its about truly feeling love for someone! And if u can equate this song to your first love...then u were in love!
Hold on to that feeling it will sustain u for life!
Belissímo arranjo, belíssima releitura, belíssima canção do IVAN LINS que não foi citado como autor da mesma... E como diria o tão saudoso Tom Jobim: "Quincy Jones é um craque!"
This is the song/album that made me fall in love with music. I was all of 6 years old when this came out. i borrowed it from my aunt then, and still haven't given it back!!
OMG!!! Me too! I think I was 5 or 6 when this came out. I love this album, but this song is my absolute favorite! I'm definitely having this at my wedding!
Me three! LOL this was the song that made me fall in love with Take 6. I loved the whole song, but i really loved the end when they did their jazzy ending. I want this song at my wedding, too!
Me 4! I had bought the tape years ago. Then I bought the CD. Then, I went a got the Boyz N The Hood Soundtrack, because this song was on it. I wish radio stations would allow this on the airwaves and pull the plug on crap that is on now.
In this recording, it was the last time we can hear on this earth to Sarah Vaughan before she goes to heaven of music. Keyboards: George Duke, Guitars: George Benson, Chorus: Take 6, Engineering & Keyboards: Quincy Jones. This song was composed by Ivan Lins (Brasil)
i love the end where they start singing at 3:48 it sounds so beautiful!!!
