  • oooooowwweeeee! I am in love with the Todd Rundgren version because it personifies the 70's of my youth...but damn, this is doing it nice!

  • I like the way she's taken Rundgren's mood and smoothed it out. Like the female vocal version too. Todd's version still rules the world, but this is a close second. Good job, Amel.

  • dam i <3 dis song....

  • Amel Larrieux will be at the Long Beach Jazz Festival this year-August 12-14/ 2011

  • Love this version. Amel put a seriously smooth touch on it. 

  • Beautiful song . Loving this jam

  • brings back so many memories of love and pain but its all good.

  • This song takes me back to a place that I will never forget

  • Amel has the sweetest voice next to alaine. Love this song!

  • ❤.❤ Amel... ❤❤❤❤

  • Todd Rundgren sang the original. Amel covers it lovely...

  • A gem of a song and a fantastic performance. Groove Theory owned this :-)

  • Nice

  • I love the original but this cover touches me just as much. A beautiful rendition

  • i love this song my mommy played it when i was lil i actually learned this version then when i got older i learned the isley brothers did this as well i love both versions i always wondered wat aaliyah's remake would sound like since she remade a few of their songs guess i'll never know =(

  • mjjcng8958,This is Groove Theory's version of the song. No one can do someone elses version. I can't do your version of life because it's your life!!!

  • the isley brother get it for me but i do like the original and this as well but the brothers put it down

  • This is Todd Rundgrens Song not the Isleys!!!

  • @soulclapaffair duh smart one the isley brothers did a remake of this song and then groove theory remade the isleys version.

  • @mjjcng8958 lmao, good 1

  • Nazz, no topping their version, I really don't care who it is...

  • I like how GT made this more sultry, and I like the Isley Brothers' version, too. But... Mr. Todd Rundgren with the original still hasn't been outdone. I love the part in his version during the part of "It's important to me, that you know you are free." Fabulous!

  • @LMmccallL57

    True story....

  • She got this from The Isleys and truly made it hers. I think she sounds absolutely angelic.

  • I appreciate Todd Rundgren for writing (and recording) such a wonderful song. However, in my opinion this is the best version. The Isley's renditions is good too.

  • @LAWoman323213 Todd Rundgren recorded a live version of this song in Boston, complete with a slammin' horn section, that I think tops this version, the Isley Bros. version, and even his original version. Check it out if you get a chance. But honestly, I haven't heard a bad version of this song yet.

  • @thejazzman210 Thanks for the info!

  • Groove theory, Classics. Forever in my heart! and yes she did more than justice to this song. Amel you are my heroe girl!!!

  • I dig it. Never heard it before. Fantastic.

  • I thought that I would never hear another group do this fantastic song justice (besides its original creator Todd Rundgren, and an equally amazing perspective of this piece done by The Isley Brothers).

    Very uncommon for me to like one song sung by 3 different groups, great job Groove Theory AWESOME!!

  • this album was the shit

  • i honestly believe that beyonce listened to amel growing up. it seems that she patterend her voice after her. not comparing that two b/c amel controls better. but the similarities in theie voices is kinda crazy. thissong is making me cry

  • Rundgren originally , but still a superb remake

  • I use to sing this to Sam in Stanley park sigh...

  • Haha. Hotness. They covered the Isley Brothers' version. I still like the original best but this is excellent.

  • @KuttyJoe Actually the original is by Todd Rundren. The Isley Bros covered his version.

  • wow I've never heard a GIRL sing this before. She sounds so hot doing this. (shivers)

  • Wow, I never even knew they covered this song. I never bought their album. Back in '95 my head was wedged so far up Wu-Tang's butt, they couldn't do any wrong in my eyes. So that's why I let this gem of an album slip through my fingers.

  • @iluvmyboba I was fortunate to have not slept on this album. This was actually the second CD I ever bought. Amel's voice sends shivers up my spine.

  • is-int this a cover of a cover? did'nt todd rundergen do this orginally?

  • @drpepperx911 yeah Todd wrote it and the Isleys, as well as a few other guys later on, covered it.

  • favorite song on this album! loved GROOVE THEORY, damn!

  • Amel Larrieux has an angelic voice and isn't hard to look at either. Wish her and Bryce Wilson would get together and produce another album.

  • my girlfriend Dee sings this song on a daily, she loves it...man it's hella sexy when she sings this to me. I need to call her now...=))

  • my girlfriend Dee sings this song on a daily, she loves it...man it's hella sexy when she sings this to me. I need to call her now...

  • Love the original and LOVE this version. Only a 90s Artist's could re-make a Classic like this and deliver it SO WELL! Can't wait to hear their new music this year!!!

  • Good cover!

  • The volume is going up and down

  • I am still in love with her she bout 37 now and she hasn't aged a bit Love a light skin chick with curly hair.

    I am color struck

  • @UN_SUPERficial

    Hello its me.... =)

  • Love her take on this song, sounds so sexy. Loving her soprano on this:)

  • This is my ABSOLUTE favorite song!

  • i totally love this song

  • im in love with this song!!! so beautifull

  • todd version is smooth like amel's

  • I've always loved Amel's rendition of this. Thanks so much for posting this.

  • Amel is gifted, her gift flows in this song. She sings from the soul.

  • hmmm almost sounds like it was recorded live.great fidelity.

  • they need to stop. leave it to todd

  • Todd version is awful everyone that has re done it has done so better than him! lol

  • Please tell "everyone" that i'm happy for them.

  • @Skillz2perfect lol. i like his version, but like the others as well, esp. this one

  • Sounds more like the Isley Brother's version, but I love all the versions!

  • I love this song, it reminds me of this really nice guy. We use to drive all over Malibu and enjoy good times. He wanted marraige, I wasn't ready. Oh well that's life.

  • That's deep. Hmm.

  • A tru mixture of talent. Well missed.

  • great cover

  • I love this version. I play it all the time!

  • My Mom passed away less than 2 weeks ago. This song is soft, it brings comfort to my soul.

  • Im sorry to hear of your mother, but keep positive thoughts, and you'll get through this difficult time.

  • God Bless you Thanks so much for your words of comfort. Prayerfully God has her in a very peacefull place.

  • Listen to Bravebird it will DEf give you total comfort in your time of loss...music like this actually heals your heart

  • This is such a perfect song. Every person who's ever covered it really knows how to make it their own. But, my favorite versions are (1) The Isley Brothers; (2) Mary J. Blige; (3) Groove Theory; and (4) of course the original by Todd Rundgren.

  • i love her but i feel the original by todd is the best!!!!

  • I have to disagree with you. Todd is good , however Amel is gifted, she draws out the emotions of the song. If you listen closely there is healing in her voice, she touches you with her deep compassion for the song.

  • Todd's version seems so innocent, i think thats why its great, plus its his song... my opinion

  • Did Todd write it? I thought the Isley Brothers came out first with the song.

  • this will forever be my favorite song.

  • She Kills this song! I  even like it better than the Isley Brothers' version

  • I so agree with you Amel version is better. I thought I was the only one who thought that.

  • Not to take anything away from the "Legends" The Isley's, but c'mon, anyone can hear that Amel has a distinctive voice of an Angel.

  • Oh my gosh yes she is awesome with this song!!! Her voice sends me to the reality that life is good! It's what you make it!

  • You're right; and make life GREAT...You owe it to yourself.

  • Comment removed

  • u mean the isley brothers

  • the best version of the song... so far

  • how can sum1 so beautiful be so damn talented!!! this song gives me mini orgasms!! love love love!!!

  • Her voice is like an Angel...I love Amel Larrieux...Sing To My Heart, Sista...With Much Love and Respect...

  • The most beautiful voice ever. This is one of my favorite songs all time

  • Oh Amel, you singing to ma soul!

  • The best ever!! she made this her own just great

  • There music is not Neo-Soul, I hate that word "Neo-Soul.

  • Ki lo de with Neo Soul?

  • The greatest Neo-Soul album of all time!.............ok I'll say it Period! I know Jill scott fans gon' grunt! D'angelo fans say no! Holla back!

  • i dig i dig, but are we forgetting maxwells urban hangsuite ... the album which changed my life got me into all that shit.. hip hop , funk, jazzz hell that album is crazy

  • eh! Maxwell's tha man.  I remember still got that urban hangsuite....A Classic! But groove theory change the game. It wasn't even made fa radio, but they play it anyhow!

  • I actually think this improves upon the Isley Bros rendition - there version is almost too languid. Groove Theory picks up the pace, allowing the song to breathe a little more.

  • i like it

  • Todd R. is cool but , Lets get it strait Isley got this song on lock. This version is really cool too tho.

  • Did T.I ripped this track in his HELLO track :P or what!

  • this gives me chills.. especially Amel's background vocals around 1:42

  • Wow i feel exactly the same, especially on that part, such a hevenly song

  • i say go and listen to Workshy's version as well... and dance to it! xxxxx

  • so heartfelt!

    i love amel!!!

  • probably one of the best renditions of the song i've heard so far, aside from the isley brothers and the todd rundgren original.

  • ti did this song too

  • That's a "single" front cover do some of yall know what a "single" is lmao.......lol..........

    -StoicTwo!

  • Lol, no shit!

  • @StoicTwo Thats hillarious...omg im old now! i know what a single is and theres like a ton of people that no longer know what that is.

  • man I'm so glad people remember how nice the 90's were. No music as good as this nowadays.

  • 90's r&b was the best!

  • @rufus317 amen.........

  • @rufus317 Neo- soul like D'Angelo made us think about love and life. Thanx for that!
