I was 3 when I heard this in the 90's. I can remember going to the Hartsfield-Jackson airport in Atlanta with my dad. I would sit atop his shoulders and watch planes take off while this song was playing from the car. It sends me to a precious place in my youth that makes me cry. A truly amazing song.
love this song, somehow i missed it when i first saw the movie; just recently seeing it, the song really got my attention and had me in tears. I'm older now and don't take life for granted, grateful to God that He sent His Son, but He can send people in our life, just when we need them, if only for a season! thanks for uploading this!
I have always loved this song. When I heard it years ago I didn't realize Luther was doing the background singing. Roberta is sublime as usual. And whoever was playing the bass guitar was fabulous. Does anyone know his or her name? They all came together to achieve perfection.
OM Gosh thank you so much for posting this song.I have been looking for it for ages. Just a beautiful song for a wonderful movie done by the late great Richard Pryor and Miss Tyson. I never get tired of watching Richard's movies. They always make me laugh when I am having a f-ed up day.I wish he was still here with us and Luther too.This song will def. be a ring tone on my phone. RIP Richard. The laughter you bought us will always live in our hearts.
@saqlynne Yesssss, that be LUTHER!! lol. And how rare is it for backup vocals to open a song? I got another one for you. Luther did backup vocals for a Richard Marx song- "Keep coming back to you". Old school music will always be closer to the human heart than the noise you hear on the radios these days.
@jhvenus2004 oh wow thanks so much! i will surely check that song out! i agree. old school music is just i dont even know ! its SOMETHING lol u said it best tho!!!!! man, Roberta and Luther have such nice smooth voices!
@jhvenus2004 I recognized Mr Vandross right away, and hearing his velvet voice along with Roberta's just bought tears to my eyes! This is such a beautiful song!
It is extremely easy to think of the Lord when you hear these lovely lyrics. It fits so nicely into the role God wants to play in all our lives, and Roberta Flack is one of my favorite voices ever. Thanks for uploading. Very nice memories attached to this song. God bless.
Thanks so much for uploading this song and the soundtrack. Its extremely hard to find this hidden R&B gem of a album anywhere. This song makes me want to go watch the movie. Such a beautiful and engaging ballad. Very nice to hear Luther's voice at the beginning and on background vocals through out. I love this song. Whenver Im watching the movie and the scene that this song is featured in plays I, always roll it back to hear it a 2nd time. A prime example of feel good music!!
Before I leave for the sandbox, Afghanistan, is there anyway to download this song to bring along??? Been there for 4 1/2 years and hoping this tour will NOT be as long, but I do what I have to do being a United States Marine. It's some serious shit there, but wanted to bring this song to show the young pups what real music was from back in the day.... Thanks for the help!!! Semper Fi to my fellow brother in arms. God Bless....
I never heard this song before. I was sitting here watching Bustin Loose and the song came on. Had to pause the movie and search youtube for the song. Love it!!!! AND Luther is on there too.....I'm in heaven.
@lewnosta I cannot thank you enough for posting the score to the flick! The 80's rocked, and I ain't afraid to say it! Every generation had their time, and this was our time growing up! The 80's rocked!!!
OMG....This song hits me right in the heart. Songs like this one, made you think about all the good and bad times. Memories worth thinking on. Since life dont have a rewind button, thank god for songs!!!!!!!
I have been looking for this song for years!! I was a kid when Bustin Loose came out with Richard Pryor (RIP). Hilarious movie!! Great soundtrack album!! Thanks very much for sharing this with youtube world :)
i thought i heard luther's voice.....NICE !!!!
