This is the only good song this man had. Going into the 80's and 90's, his songs sounded to "Bubble Gum" to me! This song was true R&B, after that, his music was for those beach, bubbly blonde middle age women like I see on "Sex and the City"! We'll I guess you have to gear to "The Masses" to make any money!
The real old school music. Throwback Quincy Jones, Earth, Wind & Fire, Jeffery Osborn. I could on and on. I may not have been around then, but I'm thankful for my parents exposing me to these wonderful records.
@rAYsimmon please continue to listen to the music from that era & i guarantee you will love it. i was blessed because i grew up during that time. believe me the r & b of today can't compare or compete.
I feel like reaching for the sky. I am so inspired i want to reach a little higher. love may never come again. i will be your love and your friend. love may never come again.
Peabo did his best music at Capital Records. He had a great thing going, a large solid fan base.Hit records. He was doing sell out concerts but he wasn't happy being just an R&B singer (his words not mine) He didn't feel that he should b labeled R&B becuz he was black. So, he changed labels and tried to crossover.EPIC FAIL. Disney songs were his only hits as a crossover artist. He slowly lost his loyal fan base. He came back to R&B but wasn't the same most fans had moved on to LUTHER.
I love Jefferey Osborne. Jefferey and Peabo are my favorite male singers. I saw him in concert when he was w/ LTD. Jefferey and LTD tore the place down!!! The Jacksons were on that show with him. MJ was still in the group. I actually went to the show to see The Jackson but I walked away an even bigger fan of LTD. They out performed MJ and THE JACKSONS that night!!!!! and Jefferey LTD was the opening act.
Your right Peabo has never gotten the recognition he deserves. He is an awesome singer and performer!!! When he was at the peak of his career i was at every concert in the front row or the second row. I would get my tix on 1st sale day. I had the fortunate opportunity to meet him on four different occasions. Not only is he a great singer he is agentleman. He's a sharp dresser too.I was a teenager when he was at his peak and had the biggest crush on him LOL .Great Memories!!!!
Awwwww man! This is the JAM!!! This brings back so many great memories. Come to think of it they need to feature Peabo on Unsung cuz he definitely doesn't get the recognition he deserves. He had a lot of hits in the 70's-80's. What a great singer.
OMG..................I'm 43 yrs old and i still love this hit. Big props to all the real musicians!!!!! Just feel good music , no one being disrespected or talk of violence
MY, MY, MY too smooth, I am content to listen and stay in the music of the 70's and 80's and I will never apologize for it. In my world with this caliber of music...I gave my musical car a flat tire & blown heads and love being stranded as long as my cd player works lmao.
@cakelady475 And you shouldn't apologize for it. I'm 25 and I don't like most of the new music coming out today. I consider this good stuff and it needs to be played more.
Oh man. I haven't heard this song in 30 years. I forgot all about it. Thanks for posting it. It takes me back to my childhood when things were so much simpler.
peobo bryson is the reason i have three children.... my ex-husband really loved to slow dance to this dance... he called it baby making music.... lol...
@73dodge Or vocal talent, or soulful insight, or much of anything else.... I've been listening to this since the mid-70s. I wonder how long we'll listen to the hits of today.
incrediable, I was 18 years old in my first apartment, and this is the album I played every night, damm life was simple then. Now things are so complicated. Thanks for the post. Great song.
Thank you for memories...If you still have this album, can you post the song ,Hold on to the world ?? That is the most awesomess song ever !!! Thanks..
I saw him in 1979 at the vic theatre opening up for Average White Band when this album was recently released. He was new and nervous. I've always loved him. This song takes me back to my first love and high school. lol Love to you Duane
I'm looking for that voice, passion, originality. Someone that gives u the feeling of loving, and being loved just by doing something just like this!!! Where are the Peabo's , and the Jeffrey Osborne's?
Peabo can be ranked, in my opinion, above Luther Van Dross, because he was before Luther. His music was just as classy, if not classier,and he had that long range voice that just took you where you wanted to be.Thanks, hamishblues, old school rules!
WHERE? I MEAN WHERE? IS THIS SOUND NOW? I MEAN DAMN! LOL! I was Born In 80' and Vinyl was king! Shit...Even My Parenys were still together. lol. Bring back the good out wit the new.
Since you now have me deeply reminiscing about Peabo and the good ole days. Can anyone out there is YouTube Land post Peabo's song "Hold On To The World." ? It is on the same album. I haven't heard it since 1979. Thanks and much love to all YouTube Fans everywhere.
My best friend and I were in high school when Peabo hit the music scene. We both had the biggest crushes on him than any star ever. We had posters all over our bedroom walls of Peabo. We had every album. We even went to every concert of his that came to town. Thanks for posting. Hearing this makes me feel like a high school sweetheart again.
Man... these artist really had something to say and the music is just.....You just can't help but feel good when you listen to this stuff THANK YOU SO MUCH
@ladymusic37 everytime i hear this song i go back to when times were much simpler,and music was something you really felt because the artist' were really talking about something un like these studio artist,lolman the 80's were a great time
@keirra69 wow you feel as i do, this was me 1984 at two yrs old in the back of a 77 coupe deville rollin thru berkely and oakland cal. My folks are still here but these were the best of times fo sho
Few male singers can make their voice soar like Peabo Bryson. This is another album I had in my young(er) days ;-). IMO his albums from the 70's were soo much better than his later stuff. If anyone has his debut album, pls post.
Peabo Bryson classic cut. He is my favorite R&B male vocalist. He knows how to annunciate every word correctly with his great sound. I listen to his music regularly. Little by little his old stuff is being released on cd.
You rock for posting this one. Thanks... you made my day. So good to revisit some of the good ole songs from the good ole days... this is one of the great ones!
I loved me some Peabo Bryson back in the day! Still do! Haven't heard this song since the eighties. Time and music changes so fast. Funny how the brain's re-call works. As soon as this track started to play - I remembered and sang all the words from start to finish without incident. I even briefly went back down memory lane. Fortunately it was a nice trip. Thanks Peabo!!
This song along with MANY others brings back bitter/sweet memories that put me in that nostalgic mood and makes me want to cry. I guess thinking back on all the good times, family and friends that have passed on and knowing that you can never recapture what is now history can make you a lil sad in a sense. Most of Peabo's old songs put me in that mood.
