ウェルドン･アーバインのｸﾞﾙｰヴ感ソウル"I LOVE YOU"～GOOD!～～～～～バックコーラスのSWEETNE­SS!

[hanseuropeexpress]

Beautiful. sounds like a slowed-down version of Ingram 'Music Has the Power'

[MsMerising]

Such a gorgeous composer/interpretor. Perfect delivery, perfect back-ups, the song gets brighter and brighter with each progression reflecting indeed how a 'Good Love' does indeed get brighter and brighter with the deepening of bonds :D

[kingthomas2507]

[illson72]

[insanefight]

Weldon and Don Blackman were best friends. This song was written by Don Blackman when he was 17 years old, and he sung it for Weldon Irvine's Album.

[discoAL]

what a great song....its Marvinesque,..but its enough of Weldon in there to classify it a true piece....what an incredible talent...MERRY XMAS YAW...

[belalakaperal]

shame he killed himself

[cecilalston]

[danoba6]

Rest in peace Weldon up there!

[sapitadebonita]

When I'm listening to this song, I feel happy. Somehow this song reminds me of a warm spring sunny day.

[schwalski]

I love this song very much.

UNBELIEVABLE!

[danny83boy]

Don Blackman @ the Jazz Cafe, he wrote and sang this song when he was 17 years old! It's him singing this record not Weldon.

Dear Mr Irvine, such a sad end.

[1Prevent]

ooo really?

[MsMerising]

Sooooooooooo jealous!

[nsns83]

[Underdog58]

Smooth

[glaziercpfc]

Beautiful

[defmaster88]

This song reminds me of a different time in life & music..... Brings tears to my eyes.......Rest In Peace, Weldon.... Don Blackman, much respect my brother!!!

[divaliceous1]

It does have that Marvin Gaye smooth sound , me like it, lol

[JMaestro]

This album and "I Want You" were released in the same year.

[Risingson2]

Wonderful. Check the Kirk DeGiorgio's As One cover if you haven't already

[melmache]

pile of fuckin shit!

[icon200]

back in the day!!

nice

[clickidyclack]

I hear a Marvin Gaye sound, but mostly in the music. Not the voice...

[amd1588]

Unlike most on here, I do NOT hear a "direct" Marvin Gaye influence. Damn, they were CONTEMPORARIES why can't folk just give this man his own credit ??????????? damn

[Odawg96]

Hey, man, contemporaries can influence each other. Like I said previously, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It's OBVIOUS to me, but then again I'm a musician. Around the same time, a lot funk bands starting pulling pages from EWF's book. It doesn't mean that those bands weren't GOOD...just like the comparisons to Marvin Gaye (and Leon Ware obviously) doesn't negate the quality of the song heard hear. No one said that it was a bad song.

[bboohhmmaann]

this cut reminds me of marvin gaye's I want you album.

[userneedsname]

@bboohhmmaann Before I read your reply, I was thinking this sounds like a song Marvin Gaye would have done in the 70s.

[nomadikjobs]

i thought the same thing bout this song

[tushansoulboy]

Saw Don Blackman 2 years ago at Jazz Cafe, London. He did this tune and the place went nuts!

[defmaster88]

I love this!!! Weldon Irvine & Don Blackman were musical monsters....I miss music like this.....RIP, Weldon...:(

[Eurobubble70]

one of the most underrated musicians of all time

[roscoegino]

pure marvin gaytion. r.i.p weldon

[divaliceous1]

Ditto his vibe is like Marvin Gaye

[bartlemy]

MUSIC AT ITS BEST !!!!!!

[esmereldatitswallop]

Totally agree, brilliant send Bartlemy :O) Debz x

[Braenchild]

I like this. But it's WAY too short.

[rejing]

one of many inspirational songs from Weldon Irvine

can anyone list some Jazz/Fuck/Soul artists that they would recommend someone like me to listen to?

im trying to unlock my music door to stuff i haven't heard like, waaay back, back to when i was still a sperm cell, i was still an idea yo lol

[incrediblecHiller]

just go through my vids! that's the stuff i would recommend

[ajohnson5fc]

Hi Rejing,

My personal favourites are Jeff Lorber Fusion, Starship Orchestra, Dexter Wansel, George Duke.

This should be enough for starters!

Enjoy

AJ

[esmereldatitswallop]

I suggest going into my jazz funk and rare groove playlist - should be enough there to keep you busy for a while :O) Debz

[davidjuliankoch]

watch your mouth

[roscoegino]

lol

[YuhBoiAD]

listen to some ahmad jamal for some genius jazz, some ohio players for some funk, and al green for some soul, there lots of good records out there you just gotta look

[stalesteez]

@rejing lol "Jazz/Fuck/Soul"

[WahkibaJ]

@rejing peep the blackbyrds.....dreaming of you & mysterious vibes are my favs

[martaajoku1]

@rejing hmm ive been listening to a bit of

shuggie Otis-Aht uh mi head

Roy Ayers-Everybody Loves the Sunshine

Curtis Mayfield- Give Me Your Love

[phadamblab]

@rejing I don't know too many "fuck" artists, but I'm sure you could look on bangbros and find many good ones.

[bombsiteweed]

Warmth

[Odawg96]

Damn...is it just me or this song just DRIPPING with the influence of "I Want You"-era Marvin Gaye. If I didn't know better, I'd swear this was a cover of a Marvin Gaye song. Well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

[BrandNewEntry]

thx 4 don blackman who wrote and sang this song!R.I.P the mighty Weldon!

[organmods]

再発盤で持ってまっす...オリジナル盤高すぎ！でも、良い曲過­ぎ！

[blitzkrieg414]

Wow! very relaxin music. Thanks for the Post.

[mikeygeneral]

refershing.I can listen to this standing on the balcony with my arms around a sexy ass girl on a rainy day staring at early morning traffic!

[pokerdude83]

it sucks that jz sampled some of this great music . from weldon .. p.s jz is wack...

[justgnatjones]

I couldn't agree more this is one of the most beautiful songs in the world it gets on my nerves how these arses are always sampling music like this and people don't realise that there was music like this they hear w**ks like jay z and think he's a genius gets on my t**s! Try listening to some 70's funk and then you'll know where it all came from!! I didn't know thta jay z had sampled this, really pi**es me off!

[enerbrat]

dont blame the artists. theyre taking great songs and adding their own modern twist. if you want to blame somebody, blame the listeners who don't appreciate the roots and soul of hip hop.

[DrOctagon20]

Actually, hip-hop producer Just Blaze sampled morning sunrise, not Jay-Z. Jay-Z IS a brilliant lyricist but know that he didn't sample the song, he just rapped over it.

[ElFuego121]

If I didn't hear "Higher" by Kanye West I wouldn't have discovered Curtis Mayfield. If I hadn't heard The Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde album I wouldn't have found out about Donald Byrd. Sampling is not only an art form (a form of appropriation) but allows listeners to discover talented artists.

[tushansoulboy]

I totally agree! Samples used in those early hip-hop tunes circa late 80's, introduced me to a world of music. First I tracked down the 'Ultimate Breaks and Beats' compilations then sourced the original albums. Found loads of other tunes on these too and the journey of the vinyl junkie began! Sampling revitalised some artists careers and they became even more famous and accessible than when the records were first made!

[Esco6698]

Exactly! Keep Sampling!!!

[Justbleazy]

I don't knock sampling but you if everyone samples, then where does the originality come from?

[causeandeffect06]

in the sampling.....most people just cut a section off and loop it. the dope producer chop that shit up!!!!

[Justbleazy]

I'm not talking about "how" they sample, I'm talking about sampling other people's music in general.

[Marcell2aG]

Indeed. In order for a sample to be dope, producers can't just loop a section of a song over and over. No credit should go to a producer if they do just that. But if a producer does as J Dilla or 9th Wonder have done, then it's a different story, then credit goes to them.

[dutchthamaster]

both j dilla and 9th wonder have looped beats...educate yourself

[Marcell2aG]

I know that already. I was speaking of songs that they did more to. Like 9th Wonder's "The Rain" and J Dilla's "Man's World Chop". I mainly made that comment because Wonder and Dilla aren't known for just looping alone, but chopping as well.

[CorneliusZelius]

i gotta agree with dutch... I am a huge dilla fan, but there is a lot that i hear that is just looped. I'll listen to some old music, and all of a sudden hear a dilla beat.

[liquidswords1988]

more times than not u hear a piece he used but not a straight loop...like I consider a straight loop to be like Crushin but for every beat like Crushin there's 10 uniquely flipped beats

[clickidyclack]

Amen. 5 minutes ago I said the exact same thing on another video...

[ElFuego121]

oops I meant "Touch the sky" by Kanye

[love112489]

oh god plz plz plz tell me where you downloaded this? ;)

[incrediblecHiller]

download? you ever heard of vinyl?

[love112489]

oh i c.. lol :)

[iamjezuzchrist]

@incrediblecHiller HAHAHAHA!!!!! Yo that shit is funny!!!! What a paradox!!!! Good lookin on all the dope tracks from an appreciator and thank you for sharing them with us!!!

[djday]

beautiful

[micr0cosm]

you said it :)

[mojoelem]

Truly talented man. Just loved his personality. Together with Donny Hathaway, G.S Heron and Ronnie Foster, Weldon was a legend. I think "Walk That Walk, Talk That Talk" is one of the ultimate jazz funk/fusion tunes ever done. I was stunned when i heard he'd committed suicide.

[ireneluisa123]

This song was sung by Don Blackman, a very talented jazz/funk pianist! He wrote, produced, and perfomed many songs with Weldon Irvine. They were best friends until weldon's untimely death. You will also find Don Blackman on "Morning Sunrise" which he wrote and sang as well. That is the song Jay-Z samoled for his No.1 hit "Dear Summer".

[incrediblecHiller]

I know, they made some great music. Thanks for the info! :-)

[liquidswords1988]

Dear Summer was'nt a number 1 hit lol

[zedek3147]

I got one. I'll be uploading more.

[stoinge]

If a channels got weldon irvine u know its gonna be good!
