in case anyone is into itunes, this is song is available in a really cool compilation from Capitol records that also includes Marlon Jackson's 'don't go'
I knew Bert in Denver back when we sang in the Heritage Gospel choir..lived with him and his wife and sons for a short time..we drove to Detroit and Chicago back to Denver in Feb of 95...
HAD 2 POST AN OL SKOOL GROOVE,AINT DIDIT IN A MINUTE,THIS USE 2 GET ALOT OF AIRPLAY LATE @ NIGHT BACK IN THE 80s I MISS MUSIC LIKE THIS,DETROITS OWN, R.I.P. BERT ROBERTSON.
Who know that song " do you remember ( I'll be there for you , you be there for me ) . I'm looking so hard for that song . I hope y'all know what I'm talking about . some body please post it for me
I bought this 45' back in the day when it came out. At first I thought it was Teddy P. This dude sounds so great. I heard the background vocals were from Al Hudson. can anyone confirm that. Couldn't download this song forever because I kept coming up with Neil Young each time. Not remembering who sang the song. Thanks so much for the posting! Sorry the brother passed away. R.I.P.
I'm so glad we finally have a definitive answer with a date. Someone came on and said he was deceased and said it was due to drugs and alcohol. Damn, I hate that! A great singer. Heaven has a hell of a choir!! Sam, Marvin, Eddie, David, Gerald, Michael, Bert ..... who gets the mic 1st???!!!
Yeah your'e right..Heaven has one heck of a choir! Bert didn't make enough albums, A waste of talent at the moment is Omar Chandler and Rodney Mannsfield both only having 2 albums in 2 decades!! Come on guys your'e awesome!
Good news is that Keith Washington has a new CD coming out within a year. Lets hope it's as good as 'Make Time For Love' and 'You Make It Easy'. I pray it's not all this thrown together cheap mainstream rubbish with rappers spoiling every track.
I feel you on that with the rappers; sometimes it works and sometimes it is just following the trends. I haven't heard about Omar Chandler in a minute. He won the amature night on the Appollo and sang the hook on Rob Base's "Joy and Pain" and then he was gone. I've never heard of Rodney Mannsfield, but if he's in Bert's league, he's off the chain! Man, I miss this man's voice ..... it's SO NICE!!
Check out Michael Speaks. I've just discovered him. He's on youtube I think I've saved a Live performance in my Favourites of him doing a Duet with Anita Howard called 'You Dont Have To Cry' He will blow you away. Again only 2 CD's. Just a waste.. ;( Let me know what you think of Michael Speaks on that Live Performance.
I've got to check it out again, but he is off the chain and definitely Bert worthy!!! That sick note he hit was bananas!!!! How did the industry sleep on him???!!!
Do i ever miss this era of soul music 1987 was one of the last really good years before the New Jack Era.Don't get me wrong i loved and still do like the new jack era but i really miss mid tempo jams like this.
Thanks for the info. I hate he left the world without more (musical) recognition. Loved his voice and he was handsome as all get out!!! What a way to be greeted going into heaven - having Bert welcoming you into heaven with a song!!!!
I've just found a Christmas song by Bert! Released in 2005. Have you ever heard it? it's called 'The Heart Of Christmas' ...check it out... you can download it at amazo,n
Bert was a super talented guy. Turned Christian, sang unto the Lord even more than he did here. He was a good friend, I am honored to have been a part of his life. Yes Bert passed away on August 4th, 1996. What a loss to our world.
A beautiful soul, a great guy, and the best of friends!! I wish I could put some of my Christian songs I have of him on here, it would blow your mind.
I loved Bert, still do....he is missed by many, God rest his soul.
man i had the cassette of heart and gold as a matter of fact i had 3 copies i knew it was a hit the first time i heard the album and now i own nothing how possible is for you to dwnld the entire hrt of gld to my e-mail
If you remember Milestone and LSG, I want you to imagine if Bert, Sherrick, Miles Jaye and Jeffrey Osborne got together. With the right song and their voices. The power.
I've googled, wikiepedia (not sure of spelling), etc. and other than what was posted on here, you can't find ANYTHING about him. This is a good song and a great artist. I don't understand why he wasn't promoted more. They need to get this on CD. If my stereo was broken, I'd be bumpin' this!! Quality music never dies!
Hey! Check the website 'Soul Walking' in the artists section there's a small biography. He only released 2 Cd's 'No More Cold Nights' in 1987 and then 'I Promise you Love' in 1992. I have both Cd's. I'll send you this track via your email. taken straight from the CD. Send me a private message.
omg! i havent heard this song since i was 13 yrs old. Bless the person who has this and put it on you tube. r and b dont exist any more! thank you and keep the ol skool hits commin
ive had this song in my head and heart for 20 years....and never knew who sang it... i cried a lil when i heard this song for the first time in 20 years...
I have the LP in my attic and this was ish!!! I think he and Keith Washington came out about the same time. I have either his 2nd or 3rd album on cassette. It had some good jams, but I don't think it got any airplay. He should've been REAL BIG!! Love this song!!!
I agree...this kat was baddd but his timing was wrong... he came on the scene when they were "dismantling" good black/soul music. His 2nd project was better than this one...had Occupy My Love on it.
I think I remember that song. I think Keith Washington came out about the same time, so he was kind of lost in the shuffle. I love this and it is just so sensual without being nasty. They don't have too many songs like that these days.
This is soooooo unforgettable it isn't even funny. I loved it then (even though I never owned it) and I love it now! I finally got a hold of this song a early last year. Thank heavens! After they stopped airplay on this, I never heard again for the next 20 years, and it was appalling! Now, once again I am blessed!
I love this ole song I still have the "45" for you youngsters thats before cd's it was on wax truly ole school thanks for posting this song I haven't heard it in years!!!!!!!!!

Will do. A shame a lot of these folks get NO RESPECT, as Rodney Dangerfield would say. If not for YouTube, you wouldn't know about them.
