They don't make Jazz music like this anymore, after the 1990s, things changed. This brother right here, was right there alongside the best of his time.
I met George Howard many times when I worked for BET. He was not only an extraordinary saxophone player, but a nice guy. I remember him inviting me to have drinks with him and the band after a long day hosting at a festival. "Don't stay in your hotel room bored girl!" I loved my buddy and was crushed when he passed. No, they don't make music like this anymore. That's smooth jazz. RIP George Howard.
Funny story: I had just turned 18 and for my Bday my parents took me to see George Howard ,Dianne Reeves and a few others who were performing in NYC because that's what I wanted for my Bday..Anyway I had bleached my hair platinum blonde that afternoon, and my father wouldn't look at me that entire day, and my mom cried a little when I unveiled my "new hair" and I remember after Howard's first set, during that concert with my parents, since we were seated at a table in the front, Howard stopped, looked at me for a second,and then shook his head in disdain. Hey it was 1995, and I loved Jazz and Ahmad Jamal poinciana and Najee were the first cd's I bought at 14; but I also loved Biggie Smalls. Now at 46, both parents gone as well as Howard ...its a funny anecdote that tickles me in retrospect, and his performance that night was wonderful.
Wtf is Spotify???. At the prime age of 62 my brothers I bought this album and to this day every so often I'll play it on the turntable. So to me I don't need a Spotify. Retired in the Atl.
I was introduced to this rendition by George Howard in 1986. To this day, it is still my favorite smooth jazz piece of all time. With this particular tune, I believe Mr. Howard created an effect that no other Jazz artist could parallel. I think the closest is Marion Meadows' version of "Wishing On A Star".
Satellite radio bright me here when I heard lionel Richie voice singing the lyrics and I was used to hearing the jazz version of this song George Howard can blow

*SMOOTH... and gone WAY TOO SOON - but not forgotten. RIP George Howard*
Just played this,,,made my day,,,couldn't help but 😃 smile
To me, one of the best jazz remakes from back in the day. The original version by Lionel Richie's is a classic as well.
Yes this is a great song and George done good. He was taken from us far too soon. RIP

Tha Dogg Pound has a version of this tune from 1995 featuring Late Nate Dogg.May their Souls rest in peace
So disappointed that this was removed from Spotify
I know, I was like WTF why is this not in my playlist anymore lol. Hopefully they'll bring it back on soon. Possibly a copyright renewal issue maybe?
It was removed from apple too, I had it.., then it disappeared
