  • i love the end where they start singing at 3:48 it sounds so beautiful!!!

  • Boyz In The Hood (: !

  • I'm really feeling this song !

  • trey got it, he didnt whip the ass but damn he got it

  • Sarah Vaughan shows out on the front half of this song, and Take 6 runs away with it on the back half. This is just a beautiful song!

  • I love this song! The great Sarah Vaughan, in one of her last recordings...

  • Trey finally got it... after weeping like an honest man should in that environment. X

  • @Mattycnw U got that right

  • Boyz N The Hood.....

  • 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!

  • This song is perfect: smooth melody and tight vocals.

  • Demais!!

  • Q is the best producer of all time to make it short..

  • This song is Sooo dope!!!!! It will Neva go outta style!

  • i wonder if they still play this on wdas in philly. this is the most beautiful song ever u have no choice but to sit back and relax to this

  • 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!

  • my mum had me tuned in on this album when was 12....... need to buy it?!!!

  • I i cant argue with that even though i want to....i'm sorry q i gotta sample this...lol

  • This was the best track on the album.

  • Makes me wanna make love.....:)

  • This is one of the prettiest songs I ever heard! It just makes me relax whenever I hear it! Awesome song!!!

  • solo Ivan Lins pudo ser capaz de crear tamaña fabula para el amor.....no por algo grandes como Pedro Aznar y aqui Quincy Jones la grabaron.....

  • Use to look forever for this song found it two years ago was on the Boys in da Hood soundtrack......Love the Music!

  • Finding this song made my day. This is one of those songs that just take you away. Thank you cuervo black!!!

  • one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. One of my most favs ever!!

  • 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.

  • Yes. I do remember those days. It was also on V-103 on Night Moods.

  • Oh yeah. My bad. They did at one point play this as an intro on V-103, and they play Velas from "The Dude' as an intro on V-103/

  • Somebody's from Chicago, eh? I remember it "Whispers in the Dark"

  • det er så stort , quincy ,, love ,love love

  • He's one mellow cat

  • hvad er det ?

  • take6 and Gerald Albrigh at the sax amazing as always...

  • lets not forget the great george benson on guitar there..

  • is that take 6 singing or should i say harmonizing on the vocals.

  • It sure is. It was played during the love scene in Boyz in the hood

  • eeno25 I believe that is Sarah Vaughn and Take 6.

  • man i love this joint

  • this makes me wanna just fly to an island with white sand and blue skys

  • 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.

  • great love making music

  • wasnt this used in that movie boyz n the hood?

  • yes it was

  • Yes

  • Unbelievably beautiful!!! "Q" brings out the very best in everyone. His arranging shows us the beauty and pain in these incredible chords!!!

  • I love this song.

  • 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.

  • No disrespect to Ivan Lins....I feel he's a fantastic artist but this version has more soul and depth. "Q" is the ultimate arranger.

  • Belissima musica!!!!Ouço muitas vezes e sempre me emociono...Show demais!!!!

  • Nice Song!!! It was tight in 91...I was 11

  • "Take 6" really did this track justice... got me thru single-figures...

  • beautiful relaxing song.

  • 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.

  • WOW! Great great great cd. Yes: one of Q's better arragements. And Birdland!? Another great song.

  • Take 6 killed it. Roughest group on the planet hands down. Great choice Quincy.

  • Viva Ivan :))

    Why these" Big dogs" in the US use his compositions and then have his name in tiny small micro print don't make sense. . . shame on You :))

  • beautiful..high school days

  • Any children born between 1990-1991 were conceived to this song, lol. Absolutely classic!!!!

  • LMAO! RIGHT!

  • thanks for this post can you post the other song also we be doin it?

  • This song is absolutely beautiful.

  • Composed by the great Ivan lins

  • this will be the song my wedding party will walk down the aisle to

  • Pela primeira vez eu ouvi essa cancao em 1993 na novela "Meu bem,meu mal".

  • 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!!

  • Take 6 and Sarah Vaughn Sing this song, and they Sing it WELL.....

  • I really love this song

  • 1990 was z memorable year! I always said if I married this particluar guy, because this song reminded me of him...I'd play this at our wedding!

  • And did you play the song ?

  • I was 14 years old when i heard this song..it was then when i fell in love with my first love....Damn i love this song

  • 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!

  • Yes...ol'skool from Holland..

    The relationship ended 3 years later..but the memories stay...

  • Oops, my bad. SETEMBRO. Carry on.

  • what year did this come out?

  • 1988

  • For those in the Philly area, this was the opening and ending song to Power 99's "Quiet Storm"!!

  • This used to be a theme on on V103 in Chicago also.

  • sorry 2 tell ya but that was wgci! good guess though!

  • Was it?

  • 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.

  • thanks to quincy jones for insert this wonderful creation of Ivan LIns supreme artist....

  • I just love this song!! I'm so glad the late,great Sarah Vaughan got the chance to lend her beautiful voice to Quincy's project.

  • SPEECHLESS

  • 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)

  • Nia Long and Cuba Gooding Jr,making love to this in the movie BOYZ N THE HOOD. I love that movie and the soundtrack. Good job qj. U know good music.

  • as soon as i heard this i thought of the same thing.

  • Beautiful
