I think i met your mamma. I am a paramedic who transported her for heart problems. She agreed to go to the hospital so she could be well for her valentine date in the city with you at a Roberta Flack show. I am praying for her. I promised her i will every day. She is a precious woman God Bless :~))))
I am looking at this man, and I think I see the face of a charming young Derrick Hughes that I knew when I was a student at Oakland Technical H.S. in 1977. He sang his butt off back then, and has the same smile. Somebody tell me am I right?
Now we know why you are the PLAIN MAN - Derick Hughes has been singing like this since he was 14 years old with his brother Ty. He's been on gospel tours with real famous gospel singers and all that - he's a sangin' FOOL - and my brother, can't say nothin' good - shut it DOWN !
Strip all the playboy B.S., focus on the soul of this song, and you will have a much better interpretation of Donny Hathaway's song. This version ain't got no soul. :(
@FORMEDBYTOI he will be at Biscuts and Blues in San Francisco CA Jan 14th 2012
