The groove and pocket is soo sick and Al knows it...check him out at :12-:15 secs. Percussion player in the back is real tasteful..If u listen closely, u hear his shaker, triangle hits, and tambourine hits. Alex Acuna & the bass player killed it too. LUV LUV LUV THIS SONG since it first came out. The Melody, keyboards, rhythm gtr, and arrangement is unbelievable. I'm jealous; wish I wrote it.
Al is sooo in the zone with the musicians here...the ultimate jazzer...wayy cool. Love the laid back arrangement and the bass line. Jarreau becomes another instrument, grooves with the music and leaves it all on the stage. He has performed this song countless times but it's still magic here.
@Ljacksmith I could not agree more!!! '...grooves with the music and leaves it all on the stage...' Fantastic .. I don't know what you do for a living but a way with words has you by the shorts!
I absolutely adore this video because of all it is. Performance,presence,song,band and Class!!....
1983 seemed like the best of times, nothing since has come close to Tom Canning, David Foster/ Jay Graydon II wish somebody could write songs like this again. Maybe Randy Gooddrum......This music kicks A....... and today's music can't compete. Let's hear it for Al.........the cross over master of pop music.
Great video! Does anyone have a full perfomance of this video? Al Jarreau performed live at Festival International De Jazz De Montreal, I think the year was 2005! I had mine and lost it. Thanks,
PLEASE DO NOT READ DONT READ THIS PLEASE DO NOT READ DO NOT READ DO NOT READ swear do not read...I don't even know why I'm participating I guess I'm still a bit paranoid. But really do not read this I swear . Also thanks this was really appreciated. DO NOT READ:This is so stupid... But i love my mom deeply... And i don't want to take any chances. Sorry. If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hour
They always give props to the isley brothers,james brown,freddie jackson and others for some fine slow jamz back in the day but this one ranks right up there...another burner fer sure

I agree with this comment, campfirecrooner, late 70's 'till 1983-84 is my favourite jazz-soul-pop period.
Yes, none's writing like this anymore, although George Benson's latest album "Songs and Stories" was a good one.
