  • It's sad that the new generation has lost the ability to express their feelings in a subtle, intelligent and passionate way. Ladies...isn't it amazing how this music and choice of words in this song takes your mind to a place where your man WANTS YOU TO BE without using explicit language??? So sad the younger hip hop bling bling wannabe's are not talented enough to carry this on.

  • ooooohhh, screaming in Santa Barbara !!!

  • beautiful music

  • i dont no whose notes are more beautiful at the end of a song the end of this one or charley wilson going in circles..both of em makes me teary eyed in a manly kinda way

  • I see Jeffrey every year when he comes to the DC area.. HE NEVER SINGS THIS!! This song is deep!

  • Beautiful, Beautiful music! 

  • WON'T YOU SHARE MY LOVE...ANY TIME JEFF. JUST LISTEN HOW SMOOTH DUDE SOUND!

  • FYI,Jeffery Osborne will be @ St.Aug.High School in New Orleans,La. on Sept.30,2011 for the Hamp Fest.

  • Sing it Jeffrey......Sing it bro'.....this cut is smoooooooove.

  • Good gracious....this song is unbelievable!!!

  • i love when he says....be a part of my tomorrow....put and end to all my sorrows and pain......that's so beautiful

  • "Til the stars fall from heaven" , that's a long time.

  • @woodslam1 yea man kinda like the love in the song as.

  • The songwriters were incredible back then!

  • Jeffrey is my favorite artist of all time. I have never heard a single bad note. He has perfect pitch which makes it easy to listen to.

  • This has GOT to be one of the all-time romantic hits.....

  • god i dont think i cant even put into words how this dude kills me everytime he sings "my love" each time is just funky as heck and different.

  • My all time favorite song :)

  • L.T.D. Feat. Jeffrey Osbrone??? Feat??? J.O? Okay.lol I Guess I Thought They Were A Group? lol.

  • sure this is the way music should be. My daughter's friends come over and want to hear about what it was like to be there when thriller came out, they love my childhood music, Motown, and my teenage music, Parliment funkadelic. I tell them what it was like when MTV didn't feature black artists and how one young man cracked it open and made MTV his channel, the late legendary Michael Jackson. Don't worry about this generation, they can tell what the good music is just fine.

  • i was there man was i there

  • 'Til the stars fall from heaven ...' damn, damn, damn ... Pay close attention, young "singers" of today; this is how it's laid down. RUNnWINE - excellent post of excellent vibes from a most excellent group. Phily's WDAS-FM 105.3's Tony Brown all up in it ... Peace, peoples

  • Now see this is the way music should be, Not this crap they sing today . Let's bring back more of this good music. I not saying it will change the world but damn man we all need the break from the crap we have today

  • They dont play "real" music like this anymore! Wow!! Miss this kind of music!!!!! :)

  • thanks for this awesome post this is the ultimate of love from a man to a woman a beautiful testimony and kweju3 the garden that was magnificent im welling up and ima grown man 54

  • I saw Jeffrey at the Theartre at Westbury in New York a few years back, im sorry is it still the summer of 79 when Devotion first came out? Because Jeffrey has lost nothing still the same when I was in the Army and Jeff was at his peak, still the man.

  • this song break me heart bring back memories as a 44 yr old women its hard to keep tears away

  • @SpRiNkLeCuPcCaKeSx2 I know EXACTLY what you mean...I can't never listen without throwing my head back and wonder, where is the same quality of love that I so much want to give.....

  • All I can say is DAMMN..DAMMN..DAMMN..one of the TIGHTEST BANDS in the 70s.

  • L..... T.... D... Brilliance... That Is All For This Board Has Great Taste.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG I

  • beautiful song i will be very happy if a man will sing that to me jeffrey has a strong sexy voice

  • Amen to the tears. This song is the Black man's lament for the love he had and lost or seeks and has yet to find. It is an open expression of vulnerability, a plea, a cry. It is an ultimate yearning. "Share my love". It is perhaps the song Adam sang to Eve upon seeing her..."come on and share my love...

  • @kweju3 so where are the brothers who feel that way, cause I'm in a relationship right now that is ALL about him :(

  • @headedsomewhere Sorry to hear that baby girl. But, you've got to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince. And, it sounds like you've got a bull frog who's swimming in his ego and giving you warts. Truth is you can't get "what is" out of "what ain't." But, be careful if you're still lookin'. We tend to fool ourselves more than others fool us. Sometimes our expectations are totally unrealistic. Don't reinforce his selfish behaviors. Let him know his fantasies are not doin' the job for you.

  • @kweju3 I appreciate your kind words, but you are so right, we can fool ourselves, and there are times with him that he is totally into me, and then a few days later say something totally stupid, i know some of the stuff that he has had to deal with, and make no excuses, so there can be an element of immaturity sometimes, but there when we are together, I feel totally safe, and know without a doubt that he would protect me from any harm, oh well

  • one dickhead aint share they love smh lol

  • This song tells you exactly what a average man feels when he's found the one. The one that makes him complete....she is his joy! This is a true message to those men who are afraid to say it....just play this song and dedicate it to the one you want to spend the rest of your life with! Go ahead.....you will score major points and she'll know!

  • the more i repeat this song makes me feelsss sogooood .damit

  • thi song ma

    kes me feels sooo powerful

  • How fortunate are we to be able to remember the time when "artist" shared with us their beautiful lyrics and melodies. @RUMnWINE, thanks for the post

  • @my2centz - Yeah, the world gets tougher and colder with every passing year. Woe to the generations who won't even have beautiful music to use as their escape. What pretty places will Li'l Wayne's music take the mind? What fond memories of the past will his songs evoke for people?

  • Absolutely love this song. The words are incredible and just so meaningful. Definitely will be a part of my wedding in some form or fashion.

  • aaaaaah. When we wereyoung and believed in Love.  (I still do.)

  • there is nothing like old skool lyrics

  • will the new ones make it better,uh?

  • ur right! soulfulness izzzzz fading away! I wish an artist can come out with a soulfilled album! The only person I can think of is Anthony Hamilton; his first second album was good.

  • my fav LTD song!

  • This song reminds me of being in the club and a tall fine man walks up and ask you if you want his hand to fall off while waiting for you to say yes you'd like to dance. The guy smells so nice and is dressed to the nines with tightly creased slacks, crisp open collar shirt and a thick gold chain around his neck. You danced as if it were your last time on earth. Missing New Orleans...

  • williamstown high c/o 2010!!!! yea im only 17 i guess i can thank my mom for the taste in music, my ipod has over 100 oldies on it plus i dont listen to the new shit all my friends call me an old soul lol

  • @DWhye10 don't feel bad i'm the same way lol

  • "...put an end to my sorrow and pain, come on and share my love... oh my darlin stay here with me..." real, real romance and love. jeffrey singing from the heart and touching mine.

  • I didnt think it would work but it did! you can rip youtube clips as mp4s for free on that site mp4ify just google mp4ify

  • the lyrics,the arrangements,vocals,and instrumentation of this ballad is incredible.LTD at thier best!

  • I was in love and going to Los Angeles Southwest College. when this came out. I love this song.Please take me back to those days!

  • Southwest College - You must have lived in my neighborhood.  I feel ya - if you weren't in love this song made you want to be in love - then and now!

  • Grew up on 113st and Denker. Washington High Class of"77"Boys those were the days!

  • L.A. High, class of  '68. OLD SCHOOLERS UNITE!!

  • St Louis-Beaumont Class of 75...old school til the day I die, dammit!

  • Back in October of 1979 I was a Marine stationed at Camp Fuji Japan at the foot of Mt.Fuji. A I hear this song which was big at that time I recall the buddies I lost in a big Typhhon and fire on that base back then. Even if its a romance song it still takes me back to that sad event in my life. I'm 50 now and they stayed in their 20's eternally. Haunting melody

  • Hey Devil Dog, your Battle Buddies troubles and pain are gone and we're the ones that have to endure. I'm envious of my "Battles" gone to glory. this song brings back memories for me too. Jeffrey Osborne is my homeboy so its that much more special. Love Togetherness and Devotion!!!

  • @tonywallacess45  Thank you friend

  • this is one of the best songs from ltd jeffery osbourne at his best, it hits u right where it counts unbelieveable song

  • @GantzIsSloppy I feel ya.....DAMN I love me some LTD......

  • @GantzIsSloppy CUT THE CRAP, PLEASE!

  • This song still brings tears to my eyes and I'ma grown azz man!! lolol Wow, the words are incredible!! I remember first hearing this song in high school but never been in love to appreciate the words and now I can relate! Thanks Jeffrey and LTD!!

  • @lunupe83

    ur right! soulfulness izzzzz fading away! I wish an artist can come out with a soulfilled album! The only person I can think of is Anthony Hamilton; his first second album was good.

  • @lunupe83

    I am so with you about the tears thing. I love this song! I had to build up my immunity to it. Now I don't cry as often, BUT I still cry.

  • @lunupe83 The beauty of being a human first is the man shit is meaningless,unless your a dead from the neck up zombie,ya got to love and feel this song! So cry all you want its free and its what you feel.

  • @Screamingdk Oh, I feel this song every time I hear it!! :-)

  • @MrDAMUZI It's my all time Jeffrey fav!!

  • @lunupe83

    lol...i love your honesty!!

  • @mmcherry40 this song is DEEP!!

  • Share My Love touches a deep-seated desire in me that has been in me for such a long, long time. It seems as if all of the real love has died and that there is nothing left.

  • "So many girls have crossed my path...but I could not last...I needed YOU..."

  • I'm telling you so many memories shit I'm telling my man how much I love and appreciate him right now maybe some of these young people should listen to this song to get the real understanding of music. he music today is Fucked up.

  • FIRST OFF ALL! 90% OF THE MUSIC THEY PUT OUT NOW IS FUCKING GARBAGE! THIS IS SONG BRINGS TEARS TO A GROWN MANS EYES! AND IM THAT GROWN MAN! 28, AND IM NOT AFFRAID TO SAY IT. IM MARRYING MY WOMEN TO THIS SONG! Ms. REED. Will BE MRS. COLE! SOON.

  • I most def feel this way about my love...

  • I love this song. my best friend loved this and he and his wife had gone to to see jeffery in concert about a month later my friend died and this was one song he would sing to his wife all the time.

    We miss you. Trent

  • How sweet, though I'm sorry for the loss of your friends husband. God bless

  • I thought this was just jeffrey by himself on this song.

  • No actually, this was before he went solo

  • Thanx RUMnWine an all all all time fave!

    Mr. Chip's (All most my anthem after my running days ended (lol)

  • Raised on this album too!

  • you're not the only one ....lol

  • Right. :^)

  • imagine how many babys were made to this song 0_0...5/5

  • I love this song It reminds me of my mom she loved this song too and used to play it all the time RIP mommy!

  • this is me and my fiance's favorite song we're using it as our first dance at our wedding next year.

  • damn how old are yall?

  • oops i posted it elsewhere my bad i'm 38 and he's 44

  • A great selction from 79' excellent.

    Sy-

  • The days of meaningful ballads are gone. I mean... I hope not, but these new cats aren't giving me much to work with.

  • There are still SOME artists who make MEANINGFUL music...but the problem is they aren't getting the airplay...it's sad....ppl like Rahsaan Patterson, Raheem DeVaughn, India Irie, Chrissette Michelle, Conya Doss, Ledisi...etc...THEY make SOUL music....they're just not getting played.

  • So true, Raheem's second album was a killer but no airplay he did a duet with Floetry that' will knock your socks off, what everyone use to do was buy your album listen to the entire production, then mark off your favorites, then tell your friends, but today you just download one song and that's it. No, airplay. And the stations (laugh).

    Sy-

  • Right @ Sy.

  • Yep,bcuz the Entertainment industry wants only sexually provocative/explicit music so our kids can have sex and kids at a young age. No more real love songs noooo. Rap music with a positive morally sound message is out cats like Mosdef Common Talib Kweli dont get alotta spins cuz they want our kids to hear about spinners guns drugs murder party and BS KRS's You Must Learn and records like that,will never be played on radio again. Matter fact that type artist wont get signed anymore.

  • Amen, beautifully said.

    Sy-

    Shame.

    Sy-

  • I feel ya my brotha, yeah like where are the songs like "Lady" by the Whispers, "After the love is gone'' by EWF, "Say yes" by Lakeside, and on and on...so I know EXACTLY what you're saying...have a blessed weekend :)

  • Don't forget a killer song by Lakeside called Vison. These bands/aritist can't make any slow drag music, that's what killed Soul Train bullshit ass music that no one was dancing too. Back in the real Soul Train day, you danced, interviewed and then the group played another song, and then everyone came out for the Saturday.

    The producers of the show had to start showing the Best of Soul Train, did you notice the artists????

    Sy-

    Oh, my, my, my.....

    Sy-

  • you said a mouth full where are we going in our music today...to depressing to think

  • Wish I knew.

    Sy-

    But in the meantime you and I can listen to some Jeff from 79'.

    Sy-

  • Class of 1977,

    Just once in every one's life, they should experiance the overpowering feeling of having someone share their lives with them even if it does not last.

    At least you got to know what it feels like.

    Jeffery, your the man

    Dwayne G. Baker sends

  • SEX!!

  • beautiful song -- one of my favorites --so romantic -- hope you all get to feel that feeling once in your life

  • im 21 probably the youngest cat that viewed this song i love this song jeffery got major vocals!

  • I'm 21 too, rock paper scissors, lol. Yeah the music is deep.

  • Its cool you cats appreciate this. Its hardcore soul and some of your generation think its a little too deep (or in other words too corny). I listened to hardcore rap AND this stuff when I was 21. Still feel like I'm hip today but what I'm saying is this is quality musical performance.... R&B at its very best. Its more about presentation and quantity today. Autotune has sapped the meaning out of vocal performances nowadays and people just want to sell records with pretty faces and shock lyrics.

  • Very correct comment from an intelligent and astute gentleman. Thanks.

  • nope, your not the youngest. im 13 years old and i LOVE this song.

  • damn your super fucking young how you kno about this song?

  • I grew up around this song. My parents played songs like this ever since I was a baby and I fell in love with them.

  • i'm 38 and he's 44

  • hey, wait a minute yall. listen to the hi-hat cymbal during the choruses; si si si si si si si si. I played this album until it almost melted in 1979.

  • I feel ya Boo!!!! I'm class of 79, and this is still the jam!!!!!

  • What a talented group/artist. Jeffery Osborne has a powerful voice, that one has to appreciate his musical talent. Love this song as well as all of there music. Thanks for sharing.

  • i love this song.

  • WOW LTD with Jeffrey Osborne, which song should we pick, Love Ballad, Concentrate on you, this one, oh so many

    to pick from...thanks RUMnWINE this one takes me back =)

  • yeah like I posted on another song if you dont like or respect this group for what they did for R&B you have issues.

  • My song, sing it Jeffrey!

  • I remember playing this album all night long to the point that guys in my dorm om floor wanting throw me and the album out. You know years later when I go to my college reunion we laugh about it.

  • I understand how you feel, Redwalls76, cause I'am about to get thrown out of my house.

  • I hope you made plenty of copies. (lol)

  • This is my favorite singer of all time.

  • LUV THIS SONG

  • Talking about CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Fantastic find. This is a song that belongs on an old school slow jam tape...not cd...but tape.

    Cooltropic said it best....we're not worthy, but thank you anyway.

  • Reel to Reel I hear you.

    Sy-

  • I'm not worthy!...great upload my friend!

  • you can't tell me that don't feal good, theres no better music then the music of that time

  • Tyler Perry should use LTD jams in his movies. Like this one.....this is awesome.

  • Now this song is how I feel girl.

  • This is their best song, and they had a lot of hits, but this one...This one. This song is one of those songs that when one would dance to it, you wouldn't be moving...Your feet, that is.

  • Thank you so much for sharing

    this vid with me:) I really loved

    what you said too, that means dhe world

    to me and so do you sweetness! I love LTD

    btw...

    P. Moze`

  • you have a good point...Love Ballad was their most popular ballad(and is no slouch of a song)yet this one is a true diamond in the rough..this song can give a clinc on a true love song to many artists today...

  • You know the thing about these love songs now is that I didn't fully understand what these words truly meant, but now...I do. These songs are about finally finding the right one, not just anyone...The right one.

  • Who me? Virgoswagga? I am a Hippie and my name is Niecey. So there you go. LOL ...........
