  • OLU WHERE ART THOU?!!!!! lol!! (when i 1st heard this i thought it was Brian MckNight! )  THUMBS UP IF U AGREE THEY SOUND ALIKE!!

  • Good music, surprised this dude isn't bigger.

  • I have loved your sound since I first heard you on BET. Now I am looking for your vid on Subsoul everyday!!!!! I haven't been able to find your first album AT ALL!!!! Do you have a link where I can download it? Can't wait to hear more from you, Olu!!!!!

  • Quality

  • This is my dude! One of my best friends throughout HS. Very talented and focused brother.  I'm sure something is brewing with his career because people like him live and breathe music. Not to mention he's very connected.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG IT WAS PLAYING ON AN ARIZONA RADIO STATION WHEN I WAS LIVING IN THAT HELL HOLE. STILL IS MY JAMMM!

  • One of my favorite soulful songs, had a big impact on my state of living in the mid 90's. Basically helped in molding me to who I am today.

  • I think he should hook up with the likes of Eric Roberson, Foreign Exchange, etc. and put his stuff out. Come on Olu.

    I remember when this vid was all over BET...1995. I was in my first place as a grown up, playing this on my TV and in my car on repeat. Actually, the whole CD was great!!

  • @smartcoco 1999... thx.

  • @olumusic I strung my thoughts together, out of sequence. My first place, '95...this song/CD all in my head, since '99. I still know all the lyrics...

  • @smartcoco i didnt eve knoo this song was that old .

  • @CHINGCHONGCUL only as old as the times. and the listener. thx.

  • @olumusic idk what yuu meant by that . but i love this song . first song i listen to whe i turn on my ipod !

  • @CHINGCHONGCUL glad to hear it. just meant that though times change, folks' troubles are the same. Had to give it a groove because what else are we gonna do...

  • @olumusic that is very truee!

  • @smartcoco DAYUM! I AGREE!!! U must REALLY know ur Neo Soul- lots of ppl not up on ERoberson/Foreign ExChange etc YES THE CD IS ALL THAT!! OLU WHERE ARE U?!!!

  • @luvexperience09 In the lab. Back soon!

  • How blessed and underrated is Olu? I keep replayin this...didnt even kno it was released so long ago and i jus found it a little over a year ago. Keep the music comin son

  • @checkavanz101 Thanks much! In the lab currently. Will definitely be hollerin' at my youtube fam whenever the new offerings are ready.

  • @olumusic Ok..You betta lol

  • @msshorts , we need to hit Mike Baisden up on that. He keeps gifted, but unnoticed artist like this brother on the forefront.

    

  • Bay Be Cain't Leave It A Lo Ho Hoooooo Ne

  • this song is beautiful. ive been trying to find it for yrs. i thought it was brian mcknight. he has a lovely voice. im feeling this for real

  • Heard the ending of this song as it was going off VH1 Soul and I am feelin this Man....all I heard was the chorus and I said i gotta hear this song....Thanks YOUTUBE For allowing folk to post songs man love whoever posted this

  • @Misscookie45 Thanks much! Olu posted this. We'll pass on the message.

    1love

  • @Misscookie45 same here lol

  • THE REAL MUSIC

    

  • This is that Art they call music at it's best. Story telling and melody man its just straight compelling.

  • "Excellent tune. Got my attention straight away".

  • whats up fam i jus got up on this and let me tell u that ur a great artist it is so soul full and grow out hear keep it coming

  • This album was amazing. I looked for Olu through the years waiting for him to blow, blow, blow up. When you find great message music (because I don't buy music that doesn't give good messages), you want that artist to stay feeding the world great stuff. Man, I just kept wishing the world would know his and love his music in greater masses. But God does some amazing things in people who walk with Him - maybe Olu is still to come!

  • This song is so touching. Man, it's a sad thing that there are so many good musicians/artists that didn't make it, like Olu. Hearing this makes me say wow at what he was able to creat musically, and shake my head that the public let another good artist slide through it's fingers:(

  • @jarbon5 Thankx Fam...No was about it, still is. And the fingers are mine I'm not a grain of sand.

    I'm the child with the sand all between my toes while the sun shines on me... One love

  • @olumusic My bad man. I was listening to some music this morning and came across Remy Shand and Pete Belasco, and I was grieving the fact that their gone now, and that grief spilled over. Anyway, this song is beautiful. But, my bad:)

  • @jarbon5 all good homie, I didn't know they were gone like that. My hearts with them and stil travelin' on...

    one love

  • @olumusic This is the music that keeps me going on I know that music like this has a chance to come Back and I plan to help it along.

  • One of my favorite songs of all time.

  • This is music real songwriting.

  • Classic...never get tired of this tune...feel it in my soul!

  • now thats talent right there

  • He has abeautiful voice...face too ...hehehe i love this song

  • Reggie Watts brought me here. 

  • Smooth..

  • 3 people hate r&b...  make that 4.

  • I love this song! I remember the video from VH1 Soul...When it was a cable t.v. program not a cable t.v. channel. My homegirl and Michele and I used to wait for it everynight on our midnight shift!!!

  • I love this song! I remember the video from VH1 Soul...When it was a cable t.v. program not a cable t.v. channel

  • REAL MUSIC!!!!!!

  • So happy to have found this song/artist. I had this CD years ago and played it to death...Hate that it was stolen....The 90's had some good music and artist to come through. Some should have lasted longer.....Still a fan of Olu.

  • gd , considered myself a guy who knows music. i've been wrong all along

  • Love this song, it touched my soul! So glad i have vh1Soul, otherwise would have never heard it! So Sad!

  • Great song, I love it

  • This is a very deep track, its just too bad that we cant get this type of soul music on air ways and the radio.

  • i absolutely adore this song. i listen to it every morning. just amazing.

  • This was my shit!

  • good song to play when in the company of a good clean woman...

  • I have this CD. My friend borrowed my car one day and the CD was in the player. She was like, "Who? Is? That?" and rushed out to buy the CD. Crossed my mind today and I had to come check it out. Timeless! 20 Likes!

  • I have this CD. My friend borrowed my car one day and the CD was in the player. She was like, "Who? Is? That?" and rushed out to buy the CD. Crossed my mind today and I had to come check it out. Timeless!

  • I wanna know who gave this song a thumbs down so I can track them down and beat them up. they proabably only like autotuned voices like Lady Gaga and Soulja Boy.

  • I bought this this first day that it was available. Amazing voice and talent. Thanks so much for blessing us with you.

  • This album was the best.....It actually shocked me it did not hit the charts.....

  • I used to sing this song everyday. I just absolutely love it. Not to mention the man is so handsome!

  • Just saw this on VH1 Soul...love it... JUST LOVE IT!!

  • A timeless jam.

  • Nice song. Dj Smooth : )

  • check out this song by Sekani Williams Feat Maimounna Youssef- "Broken Dishes

  • there should be a total of 20 million viewers instead of 19k. The song, the voice and the music will touch your heart n make you think, These are fucked up times.

  • @npscholes

    And this song is ten years old... Some things don't change, but people can.

  • @olumusic

    i hear you but sometimes change is not a good thing. We have changed to the worst and we lost all our values and morals

  • @olumusic Brutha you came wit it on this one right here. This is a sheer classic. Rarely do you hear a son where the artists just blends with the music as if he or she is an instrument themselves.

    Let me know if you have any dates in Chicago or Los Angeles, a facebook or Myspace fan page so I can make sure to support

    Great Job Olu,

    God Bless

  • i gotta get that album cool

  • @Eking2185

    cdbaby.com/Artist/Olu

  • This is one of my favorite songs what happened to this dude oh i know the music industry.

  • @Eking2185

    He's still doin' his thing. His second album "Beautiful Place" was released independently to critical acclaim, and the new acoustic album "Evermore" will be available on iTunes in the next few weeks with a new video for the title track.

    Peace

  • awww I love this song it reminds me of my first boyfriend. He use to song it to me all the time 1999-2000.

  • Oh sorry! BET had so many shows introducting music, Video Soul is what stuck out to me. Thanks for the clarification.

  • I remember this song 'Video Soul.' Thanks for the memories

  • @ChakaKhanian

    I don't think it was ever on 'Video Soul", it's not QUITE that old... But glad you dig it!

    Olu did perform on the last episode of "Planet Groove" on BET though..;)

  • saw this on vhsoul,yeah bro this is the joint

  • Thank You for Your Soul - Your Messages - Your Movement!

    You were a vital bridge musically in my Life's Transitions! - Can't Express Love Enough to Your Spirit!

  • Olu is Incredible - PERIOD!!!

    I have been a fan since a Teenager ... and Now as a Full fledged Adult!!!

    I still oull from his messages and music~

    From my Soul to Yours ... I love You and Thank You for the bridge in my Transitions!

    It's Kept me Grounded... ;-)

  • Olu this is my first time hearing your song and I must say it's something that I will put in my rotation on here. My guy put me on you and so I got you now.....love, peace and blessings!

  • i stumbled onto your song. I thought nit was great. I am new to this stuff but hope you keep your head up and comin out with more music.

  • OMG, Olu, I love your music! Do you have just the one album out?

  • One of the best jams of all time.

  • Classic! Just downloaded it on itunes...REPLAY!

  • Still Play this Song to this Day,I have the Cassette and Love It in its Totality

  • I saw this the other day on VH1 Soul and said, "Hey! There's a video for this?!" I'm glad because it's a good track I never get sick of. I'm glad you are still doing your thing. You are fine as hell, btw.

  • Oh, i remember this song!

    Nice!

  • Oh I remember this. Good song.

  • whatever happened to this guy? he seem to dissapear after this song.

  • love this jam!!! where are you OLU

    ???!!!!

  • this CD stays in my rotation. LOVE IT!!!

  • I remember listening to this song at the age of 12 and even then I knew how strong the msg was. I'm 23 now and still I love this song.

  • i bought this when it first came out i was about 16 it had such a strong message then as it does now

  • i thought this jam had a dope ass remix...i saw it on centric yesterday...hey they have the ol BET flava.....BUT the original is just as dope..no question...and thats real!

  • Wow, I didn't know there was a video for this song. I was loving his album "Soul Catcher" when it came out. Still do. Had the pleasure of seeing him open for Les Nubiennes at the House of Blues. He and his band were tight. A new album by him would be GREATLY appreciated!

  • Great video, incredible song. A lot of young girls today need to hear this song, soul music.

  • Great post :-)

  • I love this song it takes me back to 1998 when music was breat in the 90's and when BET used to play this kind of soul music on their station. I don't know what BET is doing nowadays they trying to attract the young crowd I guess. Anways, great song and I wish I hd this album!!

  • All I can say is why isn't he selling out the staple center? I am ashamed to live in a place where talent of this scale goes improperly rewarded. Powerful!!

  • Wow!! Didn't even know there was a video for this song. Just typed in the title to see what I could find and I got this gem to go along with one of my all time favorite songs. I also find that many others share my love for Olu's music as well.

    And to Olu, if you read this, the highest thanks for putting out a great album in Soul Catcher because I still play it on my IPOD every day and try to turn as many people as I can on your music. Keep it goin', bruh.

  • Love this song! It was a staple on WHUR when it came out.

  • Never knew there was a video for this song, good stuff

  • Smooth!!

  • Love it!

  • IStill have the original cassette with this song, I love the song and Olu, and I thought that he was going to blow up. This was around the DeAngelo and Maxwell era. Stun969 Nas dad? Come on! Olu and Nas are probable the same age in real life if Nas is not a little older than Olu. This song only came out about 8 or 9 years ago when Olu was in his twenties, do the math!!!

  • if you do NOT own this album. something is wrong with you

  • Woooooow... where can I cop this? This is great music!!

  • OHHHH MAN I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!

  • Is this Nas's dad?

  • No. Nas' Dad is Olu Dara

  • I had this CD in the early 2000's and my niece "borrowed" it. I could never find it anywhere after that. I took a chance and searched it on youtube today and here it was. I am very happy right now. This is some dam good music right here.

  • Smooth. Pure music. I never get tired of hearing this song.

  • this my jam....i still be puttin chicks onto it til this day....well slept on...i say good so i can use it for smashin purposes....yea

  • Beautiful voice and song! Pure talent!

  • LOVE this guy! One of my fave songs from you!

  • Brother Olu, I can't get enough of this song!!! You are 1 of the few children that Soul music gave birth to before it died in the EIGHTIES!

  • Thanks much... More's coming soon. I still got love for the game!

  • My favorite track when it came out... You had such a new and fresh sound. Bring it back Olu!

    This is one of those albums you can play straight through...

  • Olu has a Curtis Mayfield feel to him...that's good.

  • are u doing any new music.

  • yeah, I'm working on some new stuff now. I'll post here when it's out.

  • i used to always hunt for this song, people thought i was crazy! good song.

    back when the radio stations would play at least a LITTLE bit of good music on air. good times.

  • the words golden the beat gangsta .heard it at a time when i was glad she couldnt let go man i was gettin it. funny how time changes the way we see &hear things.good music like this makes it easy to remember the times by standing the test of time

  • IDK y this song has been on my mind lately, i first heard it years ago on BET when i was like 10 or something. Glad i found it!!

  • Olu,

    It's just something about you. Your music is beautiful are you making anything new. I'm so happy I found this song. God Bless you. Please don't ever stop doing music.

  • The best song on the album 'soul catcher' was 'a change is gonna come' bearing in mind, many people have made a version of this song, i think olu's the best. it just takes me there...

  • Maaaaan this song is so beautiful, you forget it's talking about drug addiction.

  • so so good

  • OH MY Oh MY!! I have been attempting to locate your song OLU! Couldn't find it for the longest!! It took me a minute to locate it on YT!. This song is wonderful and I can't wait to finally own your CD. Please let me know how and where I can buy your music!! Please! This music tells me so much! The town in your voice is soothing and that's what I look for in music, besides meaning. Thank you for the beautiful music. Keep on reaching for the stars.

  • i was looking all over for this song lol i put in the lyrics but could never find the song now that i found it again ill be sure to save it!

    it would be great to hear more from you

    thx

  • still feelin' this one.

  • I can't believe this came out in 1999 (I was like only in the 5th grade) I just discovered it a few days ago on VH1 sub soul, I was like "who is that I need the cut ASAP" so now I'm listening to it constantly I can't get enough of it.. I want the CD BAD!! I am a true fan... You got me hooked brotha LOL!!

  • This was my jam when it came out. I'm still jammin to it now. Real Music!

  • just heard this song for the first time, love it.

  • this was my jam when it came out. i still love this song, classic! real music

  • beautiful song and video.

  • Very Beautiful song, Olu. I know great things are in store for you

  • this tune is still bangin!

  • When this cut first dropped, I was all over the internet on every outlet I can find telling everyone to cop it! I still have the CD, and I still wear it out! When is the new album dropping?

  • I'm dropping an acoustic album later this summer, with a studio album hopefully coming in the fall. I'll definitely holla!

  • I played this album to death in 99 still do. Can't wait for the new album to drop Olu.

  • I love this song bro.

  • Dope. One of my favorite songs of all times. I just can't leave it alone. When is the next installment coming??

  • Soon, I hope. working on it now. Thanks for the love.

  • I love this song...used to listen to it on my headphones on the way to school on the city bus. Good music...spoke to certain time in my life.

  • Hopefully I'll speak to many other times in your life, in the best way possible. You guys inspire me. Thanks for the love.

  • Love this song from 1998.....so smooth, and so prophetic too, it tells the story of so many young black women, and I applaud Olu for doing it. This is the type of music that is greatly needed today, not the negative crap that floods the radio airwaves with garbage. I don't know if he's still performing, but if he's not, I hope he will come back and continue to help carry the flame for positive, uplifting music, I know I'm thirsty for it, and I'm sure many of you feel this way also, a great song.
