  • i dont get how they said this is rude on glee?

  • @TheSharmeg it's cuz they were dressed up as priests and nuns... it's lyk they're betraying God and their beliefs... i mean the song is kind of about giving yourself to another...

  • poor billy, had his demons [substance abuse]. bless you brother,you gave us great beauty in this world.

  • @ecermusic Lol me too!!

  • Syreeta Im sorry!

  • No offense to the great singers of today but this was, and forever will be their song! I remember when it first aired, fell in love with it immediately. Billy Preston was one of my favorites and so was Streets. RIP both of you and thanks for an unduplicatable, beautiful song!

  • Absolutely the best duet love song of all time. Super Fantastico!

  • R.I.P Syreeta.. I know you are singing with Angels my friend...

    You can just feel so much love.

  • I could just listen to this over and over all day.

  • mojej kobeci (suce) Dzieki syn Oskar!!!!!!!

  • I love this song...but no matter how many times I hear it, I can't get the image of Cory Monteith and Lea Michele dressed as a priest and a schoolgirl out of my head.

  • weeeh so like this!

  • I GOT married to this song.. Carla benson and kevin hamlin song it iwas just as beautiful still shed tears

  • Linda canção me traz belas recordaçães

  • Given the fact that I can remember the exact place and time I first heard this, no one can do better. 534 pm on a thursday of october 1979 in a Military cafeteria in Neu Ulm Germany....(The cafeteria had steak dinner at 6 on thursdays..I was walking through as they were getting ready.)

  • When I was a child, I use to stay up late to listen to the night storm... this was one of my favorite songs... Just loved the melody and the harmony and just the passion within the song... beautiful!!!!

  • just beautiful!

  • This was our wedding day song...still is so beautiful to listen to!

  • The voices ... whew!

  • Brings me back. Beautiful...

    

  • Beautiful song, sung by  a gorgeous looking couple.

  • The hell with Glee, I knew this song long before that show came out, damn.

    RIP Billy Preston and Syreeta Wright. They sound just as good as the record. For those who watch Glee and don't know what that is, they sound like they would on a CD....SMH

  • Imagine George Benson & Syreeta scoring this song instead. Just a thought.

  • Their voices are mind-blowing...!!

  • This song still takes my breath away! Billy Preston was a tragic lost to the world!

  • Outstanding duet. It's one of the best, even today.

  • I love this song

  • This song gives me chills, such raw emotion. You are missed Billy.

  • @manthony1956 i agree my favorite song when i was young named my daughter after her she is 31 now

  • I think the two best ppl who redid this song is Kenny Latimore and Chante moore. they did such a beautiful Job singing this song. they made it very nice and soft, romantic and Chante didn't go over board neither did Kenny. But there's nothing like the originals.

  • Thumbs up if Glee brought you here.

  • @DramaMaker100  What the @#!$% is Glee?

    This song is an absolute classic.

  • @ddddaly It is a TV show.

  • @DramaMaker100 Thank you.

  • @DramaMaker100 lol i jus listen to the one from glee

  • @DramaMaker100 Glee didn't bring me here. The original did. I was in my teens when I first heard this song. Glee, mariah and John , haven't matched this...ever..

  • Mariah Carey fans mispressed some wrong buttons 19 times.

  • mariah's version ain't any better,

    she tried to use her whispery/airy vocals and switch from her normal tone to airy whisper to falsetto, mariah has lost the sweetness and soul

    syreeta did very well, as well as regine velasquez, they've got sweetness and soul in singing this song

  • Watching this performance and knowing the fate of these two souls adds a deep sadness to my heart. As EWF wrote: May God embrace their spirits with LOVE!!!!!!!!!!

  • This song is so sweet!

  • Such a beautiful song.... 

  • Beautiful love ballad.

  • Timeless.

  • I have a feeling that Billy & Syreeta are singing this beautiful duet to the Angels up in Heaven.

  • I have a feeling that Billy & Syreeta are singing this beautiful duet to the Angels up in Heaven.

  • If there's a heaven, Billy & Syreeta are still wowing them in the aisles singing this beautiful duet.

  • Beautiful Lady....nice voice too.

  • Music is sooo subjective but nevertheless, this song is for me one the most beautiful love song on earth. For no apparent reasons it brings me tears. This is how I know a song truly touches my heart. I don't care if you don't agree. But this is it. I can't help it. I just hope you feel this song as much as I do.

    Have a great life.

  • greatest love song!

  • simply 1:16

  • i cnt belive that i luv this song and im so young!

  • I WANT THIS KIND OF LOVE IN THIS SONG

  • i'll never be tired of listening to this very, very nice song!!

  • RIP

    but they are both born again here

  • Sad both of them are gone....Syreeta was at one time Mrs. Stevie Wonder!

  • When I listen to this song, I feel in awe of the degree of creativity that man is capable of.

  • No autotone, no "studio notes". just the the two singers on stage in the late 1970's with the best voices I could ever hope to hear. I heard this 25 years ago and got goose bumps. I still to in 2011.

  • It is one of those songs that touches the heart right away. So happy for reborn life. 1267643007 ;-)

  • Thank you Honicho,I think so too. Al G.

  • Al G , it is a wonderful song to your loved one.

  • I had lost my wife to breast cancer.She was very young,only 27 years old.We had a beautiful marriage and at the time of her death we had a beautiful baby girl of 21 months. When I remarried to my wife of 22 years ,I chose this beautiful song as our first song to dance as husband and wife. Al G.

  • Magic.

  • never get tired listening to this song. its one of my all time favorite song. love to hear classic musics sung by brilliant artists. we must applaud them by giving us the legacy of their works. bravo!

  • i didnt knew about this song, but i think i herad my daad listen to this song, i got this song when watching glee, i liked the song and wanted to find the original. i i love this son and i am 18 years old.

  • I just had a dream about my mother. I was holding her in my arms ad she was dying. We were sitting on a grass bank with beautiful flowers around us. A man came round singing this song playing a guitare.it was so beautiful. I just had to search for it on you tube as this song is something I haven't heard for 30 years plus. I lost my mom 3 weeks ago and couldn't get to her bedside in time as I was on another country at the time. The lyrics have me now wondering if there's life after?

  • This song Brings back al lot of memories

  • aah ..aah so beautiful. they were both exactly 33 yrs + when they sang this together for the small screen.. the prime age. sad that they both departed at a relatively young age..a homage to 2 great artists.

  • Brings back memories of my youth. I marched in a drum and bugle corps from Sacramento, CA called the Freelancers. This was our ballad in 1984 and 1987. Always loved this song.

  • Thanks so much for that information DAngelo136, appreciated.Always love this song!

  • Total Class! When did we go from beautiful love songs filled with emotion and melodies such as this one, which could give you absolute goosebumps.The Fabulous 70's. A time of some of the best music that ever was and ever will be..

    Lying safe within your arms " I'm Born Again" (priceless)

    R.I.P. Billy & Syreeta, Thank you for one of the most beautiful love songs ever!

    Thank you @padventura for uploading this AL STARZ*** Gem!

  • this song is sooo beautiful

  • So beautiful

  • I'm in love with her

  • With Billy and Syreeta; I am born again! Beautiful. They have this sweet vibe between them, magical..........

  • I love this song!! It brings back memories from my childhood too. Sorry, but glee can never touch the original artist that they cover. It's just t.v. so you just by pass it. I'm so disappointed with the music today. Very few artist can SANG . Not Sing but SANG.... lol...

  • legendary

  • 17 ppl do not know what music is.

  • Still think this couple sing much better than John Legend & Mariah Carey... like it or not ~

  • @VremeliChan You are deaf and need hearing aids if you think that.

  • I'm crying........beautiful ; )

  • i love glee ,but this is much better !

  • May I ask, what is glee and what could possibly be offensive about a wonderful duet like this?

  • @StavroginNikolai

    What is Glee? Really? Wow, there are still people lucky enough to have escaped its grasp...Glee (as you would/should know by now, after a quick Google) is a musical dramedy about a bunch of choir kids. Two of them sing this song, dressed as a priest and nun, and all the others characters are like, WTF?! I guess because this song is about sex?

  • @TheMintyMuffin No TV station in my country has picked it up yet, and I suppose I don't know anyone who watches it...nor do I want to from the looks of things.

  • This song is so beautiful~

    Finn and Rachel made it really offensive though but still , it was sang so beautifully.

  • Much better than glee...

  • Hi guys I ' m brazilian and i never listened this until appears on Glee, and i'ts true this song are really great!

    About the episode, the song is not offensive, but this song with that kind of cloths that Finn and Rachel was dressing, its soooo wrong b cause they reminds school girl and a priest or father, so, a song about "Sex" with this cloths? Yeaaahhh SO OFFENSIVE

    See ya!

  • "Martin" brought me here...Gina sung it on the "Beauty and the Beast episode".... I love it!!!

  • ahhhhhh so soothing and just beautiful..two sweet souls making the heavens sound HEAVENL with their golden anointed voices.

  • I came here after buying her first two albums (with Stevie W) - and a had a vague memory of this.

    What's Glee? :-)

  • two stars in the sky ,,,

  • i knew this song from when i was a child glee could never bring me here knowing good music brought me hear

  • Comment removed

  • I'm 45 years old. I can remember exactly when I first heard this amazing song...It's incredible that a younger generation is discovering it now. Thank you.....I'm not sure anyone can sing it the same as Billy and Syreeta.

  • The computerized singers now-a-days can't make this kind of magic.

  • the horny look on that guy's face told me how the song was offensive

  • @pandaiology This song is not offensive at all. Unless you were referring to Rachel and Finn's outfits when they sang this song that made it offensive.

  • The Piano, The Voice of Syreeta... These things still give me strength to push forward. Sincerest Thanks Again!

  • Billy Preston and Syreeta Wright were the first to sing this song and it is featured on the soundtrack from the movie "Fastbreak."

  • THIS IS FABULOUS IT JUST BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES IT'S SAD THAT THEY HAVE LEFT US AND SINCE THEY ARE NO LONGER WITH US THERE SHOULD BE A LAW AGAINIST ANYONE WHO HAS TRIED TO SING THIS FAILED MISERABLY

  • Beautiful. Glee is gay though.

  • This song is pure gold! Billy's voice is just beautiful-deep and so rich. Syreeta does the peeks perfectly. Pure perfection and way ahead of its time!

  • this is so beautiful, I loved this song when it was on the charts around 1980, and I love it now, is there any truth that Syreeta was once married to Stevie Wonder?, heard a DJ say that but don't know the truth of it.

  • @bigbirdandsnuffyfan Yes, Syreeta was married to Stevie Wonder.

  • @bigbirdandsnuffyfan Syreeta was married to Stevie Wonder for 18 months. She died from congestive heart failure from the effects of chemotherapy treatment for breast and bone cancer. She converted to Islam and died under the name of Syreeta Wright Muhammad. Ironically enough she and Billy Preston are both buried in Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood,CA.

  • THIS VERSION CAN'T BE TOUCHED!!!!! THE ORGINAL VOICES ARE TRULY WHAT MAKES THIS SONG!!!!

  • Totally AMAZING this is music. AMAZING talent.

  • Such a beautiful record.

  • Essa é uma das músicas mais lindas que já escutei! E que voz, a dela...!

  • Comment removed

  • I came here after watching it on Glee also.. And unlike genanne10, I still don't understand why it was offensive?

  • @redman8805 its because they wore a nun and priest outfit and they sang a song about finding love with each other, which is against the rules of the church ( especially cuz a nun is never allowed to marry). and for them to portray that makes it offensive

  • Ok so why was this offensiive in Glee?

  • Wow, one of the greatest love ballads by two talented professional artists. This song speaks to me and I sing it to my wife and daughter often. I believe, that for me, music is truly magical in my life and capable of lifting me past what seem like insurmountable obstacles. Great live video! Damn, brings back wonderful memories of growing up. Peace.

  • I like? I LOOOOoooOOoooooooove!!!!

  • Rumored to be the 5th Beatle....

  • What a shame that he left us so soon. Played with all the greats including Syreeta. RIP taken to soon. Great SONG :)

  • God she's sexy

  • Syreeta embodies the grace and beauty of African women. Very sad that some people are so blind as not to appreciate it.

  • I still remember the exact place I first heard this song in 1979..an army cafeteria in Germany. The hair on the back of my neck stood up and I sat down to listen (they were preparing for dinner and weren't open yet and someone asked me to come back in 30 minutes....). I was 15. No one else has done it as well. Thanks for posting it and the memories..

  • This was the song at sooo many weddings in the early 80's...

  • Simply beautiful!!!

  • i watch this after watching GLEE BUT I DONT GET IT

  • what a lot of crap this song is fantastic

  • @hectorgmontiel You need to be tarred and feathered for say mariah, did it better than Syreeta.

  • @shjtyu I know that's right! Mariah can sing but she didn;t rock this like Syreeta... Come on. I saw that video post

    John didn't do it for me either

  • @shjtyu amen!

  • FYI- Syreeta Wright was Stevie Wonder's first wife. Billy Preston played keyboards for the Beatles and was referred to as "the Fifth Beatle". ... -RIP two wonderful artists.

  • 15 people were not born again.

  • @youtoldharpotobeatme LOL! So true. Sad, but true.

  • @pitopazano THE BEST!!!

  • I have been lookin for this song for so long. I love it. Thank you fo posting it!

  • Yep gonna be on my playlist for my future wedding!

  • Simply beautiful.

  • Awesome to find! it is my friends wedding anniv tomorrow 18 sweet years she has been married and one of my best friends....Gretchen it is here!

  • I used to figure skate to this with one of my childhood sweethearts. God I miss her.

  • This is my wedding song...absolutely beautiful (tears)

  • because they were suppose to make a bad performance for that episode (and bad i dont mean vocally but combined with the clothes they wore it was a bad and offensive performance)

  • glee does it better. also glee is hilarious

  • @jjjasxx hahaha yea for sure

  • both nice!

  • @diepcarter97 im glad you understand!!!

  • @loveyourbody1231 you need a reality check what was done in Glee has no bearing on this song as it was originally done. I have heard it at several weddings

  • @leopardsgirl chill.... it's just a tv show and it's just a song... i dun need a reality check.. i think u do.. u need to calm down and just relax...

  • They don't amke them like this anymore! Love this song forever!

  • Never looked at Glee, But this is music at it's best.

  • LOL I can't help but to think of the show, Glee when listening to this.

  • this is so beautiful!

  • just curious what happened to Syreeta ... this is an amzing song by two talented artist ... btw i have never saw glee !!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Sweet and so romantic....love this song.

  • Never watched Glee, this was one of my fav songs even when I was younger.

  • An incredibly beautiful song. Syreeta is one of the most underrated singers, and is simply marvelous here.

  • Ok, I just listened to the Glee version and it can't touch this version by far! Glee version sounds good but studio tuned up. Billy Preston and Syreeta Wright have voices that are naturely beautiful and they KILLED this song! Major hit. I know that most ear are use to this "Studio" made music but Im from the old skool where people could really sing. RIP to both Syreeta and Billy!

  • I search this song because of glee...

  • This song was written by David Shire, who also contributed some of the tracks on "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER".
