  • Sleek and Sultry !!!

  • George is one of the greatest guitarists... deep jazz, and can play any minor 7th, 9th with the greatest heart...here he's just doing early 80's soul and it is so g-damned beautiful to hear the joy in both guitar and voice... George, oh lord...long ago nostalgia and the people you remind me of... here's to you and thank you! (See:"Affirmation")

  • Rod Temperton wrote half this album

  • @glrep, eres lo máximo Goerge, que tal interpretación digna de los mejores (MJ)

  • @thly21 i WAS 15 when this came out ...you have great taste in music

  • smooth joint!

  • REAL MUSIC HERE

  • My sister passed in October and her partner chose this as her send off, My dad intro'd us to George so it was a double whammy. Promised myself I wasn't going to cry........ pah! that went out the window before the vocals started. Thanks for the music Mr Benson and my thoughts will always be with my Father and Sister whenever I hear this track

  • Love this, Pure class. Reminds me of Friday nights during the 80's in Macy's Bar, Bigg Market, Newcastle, UK. The Bar is still there, but sadly the music played is crap.

  • @nomoreliblabcon yeah I was the dj who played and more class tunes

  • @UncleDarmish Had you been old enough to be more than a twinkle in your mum's eyes at the time, I may have believed you.

  • @oholm08 You forgot the writer- Rod Temperton.

  • @cleandiaper YEAH WRITTEN AND ARRANGED

  • Lyrics, lead vocals, and harmonies to live for, it's greatness is in that people don't do it anymore as I think that would kill much of the magic in the music of this era. Supa post. Peace

    Its Q arrangement but more importantly its a Rod Temperton tune - that's why its so memorable.

  • I love his music!

    That's what good music is. No mater how old, you can still feel it running through your body!

  • Wow! You guys i was in 8th grade at the time! This song does bring back great memories. However it has a totally different meaning some thirty years later. But I still LOVE it!!

  • one of my favororite ballads by mr bad ass GB!!

  • loving it.. childhood souvenirs..

  • Remember when a dime bag of weed was so big, so green, and so, so good! Those were the good ole days.  And no matter how much money you made, you always had enough money to have a good time. I can remember having a house party listening to this great song and having the munchies and eatting everything in the house including bologna, cheese, and hoagie sandwiches, and partying till the early morning dawn. Thank goodness for the good ole days. I am still holding on to those days.

  • @campbelpe How fat are you now then? Munchies were good lol

    Thanks for posting.

  • 1980, Hearing this on KBLX Berkeley, 102.9, the Quiet Storm. Driving (gliding) across the Bay Bridge back to the East Bay after a night of dancing in the City (San Francisco) Sigh!

  • @Kevierae sigh indeed!

    I'm only 15..so you can imagine how much i envy that experience..

  • @Kevierae Those were the good old days! That's when KBLX used to play good music like this :)

  • Good post.

  • One of my favorite songs!

  • RECORDAÇÕES DA MINHA ADOLESCÊNCIA, ESSA MÚSICA É SHOW DE BOLA!!!

  • FEELING GOOD!!!!!!LOVE++++++

  • Was this produced by Quincy Jones? It has that Q flavor

  • @smakel190 Yes this was "THE DUDE" Great job of producing on this one! Great job Quincy!!!

  • @smakel190 yup

  • @smakel190 Q did this album as Benson wanted what Q did for MJ. The tune is Rod Temperton one as was rock with you. Same groove

  • I dont think George was ever recognized as to how talented and good he is, especially a lot of his backup jobs he did.

  • The rod temperton song!!!

  • pyah !

  • meann drinkupp song!!!!

  • childhood memories....has anyone developed a hottub time machine yet?

  • Comment removed

  • I've always liked this song. 

  • @2009Denisem I hear you girl

  • GOOD MEMORIES ON IBIZA, THANKSS

  • Back when songs had a soul-- and songwriters knew how to write hooks-- and this song has a fantastic bridge that comes out of nowhere at 2:45-- those days are gone, my friends.

  • @DrApocalypse Preach on brotha!

  • Remember the album was produced by Quincy Jones...John JR Robinson on drums and Brazilian born percussionist Paulihno da Costa adds romantic flavor. Beautiful alto Patti Austin makes this great composition by Rod Temperton come alive!

  • @zeenan123 It's always nice to come across people on YouTube that REALLY know what they're talking about, cheers to you! Just about every name you've quoted here also had direct hands in Michael Jackson's record-breaking solo career, too.

  • Je suis nul en anglais mais fut un temps ou je connaissait les paroles par coeur de cette chanson. Bon je ne faisais que répéter et lisais bêtement les paroles sur la pochette du cd, j'étais enfant. Je ressentais un truc et maintenant que je la réécoute c'est la même. Je faisais la même avec Moody's Mood en me prenant pour la fille. I LOVE IT.

  • okay can someone please give back the time clock to my teenage years was 14 going on 15 was in love with this song ummmmmmmmmm and rod he used to be part of heatwave what a talented white blue eyed soul brother

  • This song has been writen by the great Rod Temperton who also wrote Give Me the Night from the same album. He also wrote a lot of Michael Jacksons songs: Rock with You, Off the Wall, Burn This Disco Out, Baby Be Mine, The Lady In My Life, Thriller, Someone In The Dark, Hot Street, and the list goes on.

  • AAAaaaahhh fantastic how this song calms you down

  • @2009Denisem This is smashing track this.......and your right i do love this. Wonderful post.

  • I'm the biggest George Benson fan, I loved him, I love him as a child and I love his music till this day. He has the most soothing voice ever and one of the best guitarist and musician ever. He has some many songs that I love that I cant pick just one. This happens to be one of my favorite along with "Give me the Night" and " Inside Love" and many others.
