Talk about memories, this song bring back those moments of when music still had that fazazz. They would always play it and on almost all the radio station throughout the shy town.
I really was in search for love back then just like i am today, but i've learn that it comes and goes especially when it doesnt start from the heart. i'm guessin the music is the same way today, it's all about the dollars, but people like her, Dr. York, Anita Baker, Lilo Thomas, to name few took it to another level.
Man, im a grown ass man and this just makes me want to cry tears of good memories, too many to share, i guess thats why beautiful music is wonderful to have and hold on too, amazing melody.............
I love this song from Lalah. It is truly a classic. Reminds me of my buddy Lori from North Carolina whom I lost touch with. We used to jam off this. Lori, where ever you are at, this one's for you!
I remembre this song but, i never knew sho song it. Lalah can sing. WOW, she has the power in her voice to pull you in & take you on a journey the is enjoyed.
Wow! I haven't heard this since 1990/1....I was mad young but I remember hearing it on the radio and liking it. Hearing it now is taking me back and making me feel a certain way. (And I had a crush on her! I always liked 'em older. LOL)
I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG SO VERY BEYOND , AND ITS VERY RELAXING TO MY EARS. I DO NOT THINK ANYONE ELSE COULD SING THIS AS GOOD AS LALAH HATHAWAY DOES .
Did you know that this song was first recorded in "85 by the writer/singer Jaki Graham from the U.K.? Jaki's big hit in the US was called,"Round and Round"!
hey everyone I simple love lalah. Even though this is a wonderful song, the best one in my opinion is stronger. I can't find the video. can someone help. thanks
Listen to the song.....smooth everything. What happened to music? Where did it go? Fot the up and coming artists, go back to the 80s and pull up any genre of music and study, especially the vocals and lyrics. Dont worry about musicianship, who plays anymore?
Makes me miss the early 90s....From an outstanding album by an outstanding artist. This is wonderful music to listen to on a beautiful afternoon in the city, such as here in LA today.
This song is timeless. The CD is great and so are her others. I just don't understand the music industry. We can hear Beyonce (a great performer and artist) all day long, but what about the REAL singers out there???
Lalah has the depth and quality of vocal skills that is missing in music today...a better management team and she can STILL blow these wannabees out the box!
My first encounter of this lady's music was the summer of 1990...I was the general manager of my campus' radio station. When I got her promo and played it.....LOVE AT FIRST HEAR. Been in love ever since.
Saw her Thanksgiving weekend in Oakland at Yoshi's for the 1st time and WOW !!! One of the most authentic voices of our time...LIVE !!! NO SIGNAL PROCESSING !!!! This woman can BLOW ! Flawless voice...
@Ellasings7 Steady.. she is pretty but in no way, shape, manner or form is she close to singing as good as her dad. Donny Hathaway is one of the cornerstones of American rhythm n blues, pop, and soul music in the level of MJ, Stevie and Marvin Gaye. Let's not go overboard here.
hey poster snap, i was 16 that year 2 and this chooonn was a very memorable summer classic, although's hot summer night house parties! vry good times x
Even though this song was released in 90, it was so popular for a long period of time it was still topping the charts into 91. Such a soothing song with a beautiful message and it still sounds great to this day!
S*&t with sugar is the truth. Donny has the only song that puts me "Christmas" mood, then his baby girl comes along & puts the SOUL back in soul music. LUV U Lalah.
Hey Warrior, u are sooooo right! IT IS NOT CHRISTMAS UNTIL I HEAR 'this christmas'--donny hathaway's version. Nobody else's will do. I am a BIG fan of Lalah's!!!!!!
Love both versions (Jaki's & Lalah's). Always thought that Jaki's is more original and Lalah's is easy to dance to. That's why clubs played Lalah's all the time. Miss those days - DAMN.......
This is just a great song some prefer Jaki others prefer lalah am I gonna sit on the fence or say which version I prefer does any one really care ? the fence has just broke it's Jaki for me.
I remember sneaking my walkman into class playing this when I was in my freshman year of high school. Those were the days. What is this shit they're playing now?
Tell me about it! My nieces and nephews always clown me about listening to old music, and saying, "Auntie, you need to get up with the times!" I'd rather get up with "Good Times" the show, than this shit they play today!
Its so sad that our kids have to grow up without any music that will stand the test of time. i can put on New Edition today and put alot of the groups that are out todat to shame. I am so glad that my girls love Mint Condition.
Tell me about it. When Marvin Gaye or the Isley Brothers sang about "Sexual Healing" or getting "Between The Sheets" it was much more of a cleaner nature than shakin' ya ass, ready to hit the strip clubs and makin' it rain, and all of that other bull. What we grew up on was much more respectful than what is offered to our children today. I'm so glad the kids in my family are so focused on the Disney Channel!
LOL...Disney Channel. My baby girl is 10 and knows every show on Disney, and every so-called artists on there. Those songs that you mentioned have more meaning to me now than they did 27 yrs ago, when i was 13. Now that i am 40, I appreciate them more, I just cant find a female friend who was into the 80s music......thats why I keep replying back to you....lol. I really miss the old Prince music, now that was my type of thing. Sign o' The Times and back, 80s stuff. Thats all me.
Just like almost EVERY song MJ ever made, it's the same with Prince! LOVE THAT MAN! I have his very first one from 1978 titled "For You". And I also have his second with the classic, "I Wanna Be Your Lover!" I'm 34 now, and i'm the baby of the bunch of my mother's children, and my first cousins, so I always listened to what they listened to. The songs of yesteryear does have much more of a meaning to us. Everyone has their era of music. I'm just glad late 70s onto early to late 80s were ours.
Girl......A Prince fan?!!!!!! That alone makes me want to marry you....lol. It is very rare that I find someone who knows anything about Prince. A mature person knows what to do with old Prince music, the right time and place.
LOL! I remember when my boyfriend and I started seeing each other, he was looking through my cds one day and saw that I had some Prince in my collection. He was like OH SH*T! THIS IS MY N*GGA RIGHT HERE! And usually, alot of guys I know always talk and laugh about how Prince is fruity with his "butt-out" pants (they were so ignorant!). I don't care if he has the characteristics of an apple! If the talent is there to keep you supporting their music, then that's a true artist!
Your so right ,we were so spoiled with such classics as this that music of today has no way of matching the glorious 80s,but unfortunately todays music reflects alot on the way society is, beam me up Scotty take me bake to the 80s.
Doubt it xxxLady77. Won't that be dandy. Trust me, lots of people wish it could happen. That's why WE still listen to the 80s & 90s classics. Long live old school.....
I went back and listened to the original and Jaki was pretty good but Lalah is to Heaven Knows as Whitney is to I Will ALways Love You...........I belongs to Lalah after this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my all time favorite jam from Lalah. Everytime this song would come on, I had to adjust the bass because this song's bass is so powerful, my speakers would almost shatter! She's an icon for us R&B heads!
I did all the editing on this song back in September 1990. Yvonne Turner did the mix. It was weird because I was also working on Whitney Houston's "I'm Your Baby Tonight" that first week in September 1990 (also with Yvonne Turner). I never knew that Jaki Graham did this song back in 1985. The only song I knew & loved by Jaki Graham was "Round And Around". This must be the album mix because I worked on the 12" mix which had heavier bass & drum overdubs.
you use to be the song back in the day i love hearing this song to this day. You did a great job, she has a great voice just like her dad. Heaven Knows she has a great voice. IF i hear the song i will start to sing and dance like crazy.. can i find this video on here. carleton martin
Yes. I was also a big fan of Donny Hathaway. Especially his recordings with Roberta Flack like "You Are My Heaven" & "Back Together Again" both from 1979. Awesome album. Also "God Don't Like Ugly" produced by Gwen Guthrie who is no longer with us unfortunately.
@ShayneSealy I had to reply! Being a producer and engineer, that whole experience must have been bananas! I do freelance music supervision for FOX sports and ABC (Jimmy Kimmel Live) while producing my own band (K3 da Konjourman). I hear the stories of the older guys talking about the 80's and 90's it's just Crazy. Head sound mixer at Kimmel has been working since the Ed Sullivan era, his stories are the greatest. check Michael Greggs or Roze Bowl Music Group at linkedin dot
@K3daKonjourman Yes. Remixing & editing songs back in the late 1980s & early 1990s was a great experience. Its so different today. Is Fox Sports and/or ABC hiring any audio guys like me right now?
@ShayneSealy are you based in LA area? You know how sporadic everything has been over the past year and ahalf but things are opening up this year. I can submit resumes for u with the in-studio production crews at FOX and ABC. At least you can start trying to get in the sub-rotation. Are you in the union? E-mail me resume and references to k3dakonjourman at gmail and I'll definitely submit for wherever your qualifications cover.
this is just my opinion. i did listen to the original, and a remake was definitely in order. thank God Lalah remade this song. it's much better than the original and much more uplifting. the original is a bit of a downer. lalah's version is refreshing. just my opinion.
GREATTTTTT song! The apple fell golden from the tree! ... I appreciate her dad and her music. She is a beautiful talent and this was always one of my favorites. I've searched high and low for this treasure...thanks!
Good music stands the test of time.. listen and compare it to today garbage on the radio..She is a real singer and jus like her daddy she got it going on ...I miss this music
YES!!!The song is still hot. Just bought the CD after getting a taste of this song again on myspace. I feel in love with her voice all over again!! Lalah definitely has IT..just like her daddy!!! Thanks for posting.
What a great song from 1990, one of my favorites from that year, or any year for that matter. So smooth and easy, its sound just melts into your ears, and her voice is so soothing, outstanding!!

It's ok...but the original Jaki Graham version is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.Jaki's sexier,and a lot more soulful.

Nice cover version but I prefer the original version by Jackie Graham (a great black - british singer) done in 1985

I went back and listened to the original and Jaki was pretty good but Lalah is to Heaven Knows as Whitney is to I Will ALways Love You...........I belongs to Lalah after this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I totally concur. She made hot records after this one, but nothing like this Jazzy B/Soul II Soul influenced sound at the time!!!
I'm glad she still looks good for her age. Alien butt sex...claro que si.

This is my all time favorite jam from Lalah. Everytime this song would come on, I had to adjust the bass because this song's bass is so powerful, my speakers would almost shatter! She's an icon for us R&B heads!

I did all the editing on this song back in September 1990. Yvonne Turner did the mix. It was weird because I was also working on Whitney Houston's "I'm Your Baby Tonight" that first week in September 1990 (also with Yvonne Turner). I never knew that Jaki Graham did this song back in 1985. The only song I knew & loved by Jaki Graham was "Round And Around". This must be the album mix because I worked on the 12" mix which had heavier bass & drum overdubs.

Yes. I was also a big fan of Donny Hathaway. Especially his recordings with Roberta Flack like "You Are My Heaven" & "Back Together Again" both from 1979. Awesome album. Also "God Don't Like Ugly" produced by Gwen Guthrie who is no longer with us unfortunately.

@ShayneSealy I had to reply! Being a producer and engineer, that whole experience must have been bananas! I do freelance music supervision for FOX sports and ABC (Jimmy Kimmel Live) while producing my own band (K3 da Konjourman). I hear the stories of the older guys talking about the 80's and 90's it's just Crazy. Head sound mixer at Kimmel has been working since the Ed Sullivan era, his stories are the greatest. check Michael Greggs or Roze Bowl Music Group at linkedin dot

@K3daKonjourman Yes. Remixing & editing songs back in the late 1980s & early 1990s was a great experience. Its so different today. Is Fox Sports and/or ABC hiring any audio guys like me right now?

@ShayneSealy are you based in LA area? You know how sporadic everything has been over the past year and ahalf but things are opening up this year. I can submit resumes for u with the in-studio production crews at FOX and ABC. At least you can start trying to get in the sub-rotation. Are you in the union? E-mail me resume and references to k3dakonjourman at gmail and I'll definitely submit for wherever your qualifications cover.

this is just my opinion. i did listen to the original, and a remake was definitely in order. thank God Lalah remade this song. it's much better than the original and much more uplifting. the original is a bit of a downer. lalah's version is refreshing. just my opinion.

Sorry, people, the Jaki Grayham. version is still the best by far, the old saying still goes here, "If it aint broken don't try to fix it".
