Michael Sterling WROTE the book on love songs! Best writer EVER! i remember listening to this song when I was only 19 years old in 1991 (I'm 40 now)...in Louisiana. Wow....still brings back memories!
Wow all this time I never knew he composed Anquette's "I will always be there for you"! I wonder what happened to him, he needs to help some of these poor souls today trying to make a track.............
awww man this takes me back soooo far!! before I even knew what love was. My momma always said I was too grown for my age and now that Im 36 Im lookin for music like this to come out from new artist. it will neva happen!
I told my friends when Usher nem put this song out that it was a remake, but they didn't belive me. I didn't know who the artist was until tonight(forgive me) just that I had recorded it off the radio on cassette one night and like to have played it to death! Thanks MSMG for uploading, LOvE iT!!! I am ordering the CD online RIGHT now.
Who ever is writing this story about Michael Sterling passing away it not true..... he getting ready to do a LIVE CONCERT at Miami Knight in South Florida if anyone would like more information please contact 786-259-4813 this Valentine Weekend Feb 11th.
FOR THOSE IGNORANT ASS PEOPLE ON HERE COMMENTING NEGATIVELY ABT A SONG OR SOMEONES REMARK! STICK YOUR HEAD UP YOUR OWN ASS AND STAY THERE. CUZ THAT HOW MUCH UR COMMENT MEANS TO ME.......... @GREGNICE25... !
@SouthAmericanFishMan Exactly! If an artist wants to sample an old song I believe they ultimately give the original artist respect. w/o any words, a remake says, "Your song is so amazing, I even wanna sing it."
I don't know about you guys, but the fact that Usher's song was called a Remix made me want to find the original. Honestly, I respect Usher for paying tribute to this soulful man, otherwise I'd never have found this song. You don't have to accuse the artist for stealing, hes showing homage towards him and doing very well so. Anyways, both are good songs. OG is always the way to go though.
This here is one of the reasons I don't really respect to many so called artist of today...no creativity! The original version is bagging-most thought Usher and Lil John's version was original.......................do research most so called hits of today were already hits of yesterday
Now this is a sad that Usher an lil john stolen this man song. I was under the impression that Usher and lil jon made this beat and lyrics Im sadden. GOOD JOB MR. MICHEAL STERLING.....
@80sand90sallday I KNOW MY MUSIC VERY WELL. AND I KNOW MICHAEL STERLING CAME UP WITH THE SONG FIRST, SO MIND YA NECK AND STOP BEING SENSITIVE OVER WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ON YOUTUBE
omg this song was the shit havent heard it in years but the other nite my boyfriend and i met for the first time and this song was playing it bought back so many memories cause he and i grew up together but lost touch and became a couple before we saw each other again and when we hugged off of this song it was magic i love u wayne
usher lil jonand ludacris sampled this song.they kno guud music lik miiself.btw this song came out in 1988.this is MICHEAL STERLING(lovers and friends)and not those artist i mentioned. miami fl gooooooo baby
Usher, Luda, and Lil Jon did a great song, but this is also great. Just different generations got different tastes. I presonally perfer Usher but this right here is classic
I love this song. I just bought his new album on itunes, "Eyes around my Heart" and it is the best album I have heard in a while. I showed him some love by becoming a fan on his Facebook page too!
Holy shit this is a masterpiece I really thought that Lil Jon had talent when he made this beat but a buddy of mine told me it was sampled and wow I'm just blown away this is a great song
WITH his voice taking away from his face, michael has a powerful talent with his lovely ballads. he was my number on in the late 80's, early 90's. i burned the heck out of cassettes!! LOL
when i heard lil jon, ludacris, and usher i thought that it wasn't an original to this song but now since i hear it i so fell in love with it it's now my favorite
