Who's here 2024
Yes 4/11/24
4/17/24… Just a 80’s baby late night riding to greatness 😎
Meeeee!
4/22/24 Checking in
Me 🙋🏽♀️
I just saw him in concert last night. He's 77 years old and still sounds the same. I'm 44 and never thought I'd be able to witness such greatness. He was the surprise guest and the audience was elated that he blessed us with his presence and voice.
Briar Rose How cool😁..so glad he's still going strong & you got to see him.
He somehow seems to have slipped through my music net...only discovered him 3 days ago! I know ridiculous... how could that happen !?! I've been on this planet a long time! I grew up listening to The stylistics, Harold Melvin & The Blue notes,Teddy Pendergrass,Barry White, Marvin Gaye, Al Green,Gladys Knight on & on...seems ridiculous I don't know him😃
There's a young woman called Kendra who does dance videos here on UA-cam with her husbandI and there is a video of her husband dancing on his own to this track .So I just had to find out who sang this crazy beautiful amazing song !
I will certainly be making up for lost time and listening to a lot more of Lenny Williams 🙂💕
That's amazing 😇 I always wonder why so many singers from that era tour into their late 70s early 80s ! They earned their retirement! Do they owe money to the label or just love it that much?
Good for him though to still be able to deliver the classics till this day.
@@yulnikita I would say they love it that much and performing 3-4x a year for 20mins is pretty sweet retirement deal.
Wow...that's amazing! Must have been awesome.
@@yulnikita how about to simply spread awareness of a better kind of music than the absolute garbage pushed through the top nowadays with no real talent or any good messages
“Watched television until television went off “ 😂. Now THATS old school. How many remember that TV used to go “OFF” haha
Hell ya. I remember that shit. It was a humming noise on almost all the channels...lol
I REMEMBER TOO ...🤣
Yep, back in the day TV went off early and there would either be a snowy screen or those vertical color lines. I guess after TV went off he just looked at the snowy TV screen 😂
But do you remember the National anthem before that mf cut off ?
i remember them playing the star spangle banner
It's 2023 and this song is still kicking and always will lol 😂 thank God for our old schoolers
Real talk
Pick yfu
Yessssssssss sir
Amen❤
It is it will NEVER GET OLD LOL
If you're born in the 2000s and you're here, your parents raised you right😭😭
👌👆❤️
You see you didnt get many comments or thumbs up and you posted that 6 months ago. Maybe you shouldve said the 80s. Because these mostly stupid mfs that grew up in the 2000s.

I have much respect for the men back in the day they weren't scared to express themselves that's what real!👍👍👍👍👍
Lovingme 2017 👌👌👌👌
Sho you right. That's what made them real men. They also knew how to respect their women.
BranRob the women ain't the same. Cause and effect.
GentleAs ARose Amen
Domiano Powell all she said was that she respects them for being able to express themselves back in the day as opposed to the men today. You wouldn't get so defensive if there wasn't truth to it...
This song can never fade, or die. One of the best ever made.
I saw Lenny when has was the lead singer for Tower of Power many times and he was the best they had. IMHO.
Amen
Northern Cali harmony
Northern Cali harmony, that is California made singing.

This is definitely a brown liquor song!!!

I'm a youngin & my mama & daddy taught me well wa n't me some real music.
Nope
After coming across this song
this is gold
one of the greatest songs of all time
Are you a personal trainer?...
.
Theee greatest song of all time!!
Preach Lenny Preach... From a 44 yr old from South Africa
Just a man pouring out his heart for the woman that he loves. Nothing realer than that. This is one of my favorite songs. I make sure to lip sync it to my girlfriend every once in a while. It reminds me of her so much,
Awwww❤️ keep it up✌🏽️
Lovely
What up man!
The best
hell ye
Steve Harvey was right. This song is serious!
Sharard Cobb lol where he said it like in a stand up comedy?
50shadesof gibbs yup. Kings of Comedy
Love Lenny Williams sing that song
Tyler Perry was right.take a bow
Without a shadow of a doubt.
Lenny Williams performed in Richmond, VA last night. He could not leave the stage without performing this song. Still sounds GREAT!
I had a CD with nothing but this song, over,vand over , and over again.
I had played on repeat until it started skipping
You know I have so much respect for this song and this man. This song brings me so much memory and healing. The time I listened to song, I was facing a nasty divorce from my narcissist ex wife. I went through verbal degrading because she was so high maintenance. She tried to use child support to break me into pieces. If it had gotten worse, I would committed suicide. We Went through counseling with a pastor at the end, it was always me me me she was complaining about. The day I got divorced for the first time, I heard this song in my car, I broke down in tears 😭. Here I am asking myself what did I do wrong because it was the very first time I was madly in love 💕 with someone 4 years older than me. All this time never realized that going to marriage counseling was to prepare me to become a better man and I thank God for it. Now I remarried to an amazing sexy wife beautiful both outside and inside, a supportive confidant and am a proud husband of two beautiful girls.
Amen blessings your way ❤
Sounds like my story minus remarriage. Brother, you did the right thing by getting out of that situation. Blessings and congrats on finding real happiness.
Glad you made it thru bro
I love you
That is beautiful Ose! I am so happy for you!
I’m old enough to remember when “television went off”.
I'm 68yrs old and this is one of the songs that I listen to often. This song sounds like part of my life story. 😊
My late husband Keith became my friend as a teen and he would play this when he was ‘courting’ me. Rest easy Keith . I have so much respect for a man that ain’t too proud to beg or be truthful with and about their emotions.
I can understand love but for a man to beg a woman is feminine not masculine at all. And she will probably leave you soon after.
Can someone tell me why this great song hasn't got millions of views??? Classic and Timeless!!!
because I only made this video 4 years ago.... lol.... but you're right.
+VDJ MikeyMike right

People don't understand classic and timeless ...
Hard to believe ❤️

I only wish he had made some more wonderful music.
I love his voice but y’all reaching Luther voice was better
I was not even born yet when this song released. I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEE it. Sooooo damn real.
What a man, what a performance. Over forty years later, and it still touches my heart. I always felt like Mr Williams never got the full recognition he deserved
Cyril, no, he didn't get the recognition he deserved!
@@karengarr8370 he really did. People who know love Lenny and this song in particular
You know this song is old if you watched television until television went off... 😂

Lenny Williams put his heart ❤️ and soul into this song. You literally could feel his pain. Even the band felt every note 🗒️ that he sung, especially the horn section. Music can be so powerful that it can move a person to tears. Some iconic songs can do that, and this song is no exception.
Gestern Abend stand jemand am Bahnhof in Bremen/ Germany, ein riesiger Gettoblaster neben sich, singt und tanzt zu diesem Song ❤️ ich hab jetzt fast 2 Stunden gebraucht um rauszufinden wer da singt. Danke Dude, wer auch immer du bist. Danke 🥹
You can feel his soul in this one.. Greatest love song of all time...
I agree.
Beyoncé has no soul...
ABSOLUTELY ❤️
If you can't get lucky when you sing this one to your better half, something is wrong😢😂😂
This song came out when I was in my teens….still play it to this day. Timeless music and lyrics NEVER goes out of style. 2022!
That song is nice my mother use to play this in the 80, when I was young
Yessss!!!!
Lenny Williams "I Love You" ❤ 2022
This still bring tears to my eyes !!! Love this song Facts! And I wasn’t even born when this came out !🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Fire!🔥
Old
I absolutely love the way the band is swaying around. Like yes it’s choreographed but you can tell they are definitely feeling that music as much as Lenny is.
This song moves the soul. Everything about it is annointed. The musicians sound like an entire orchestra and compliment his voice so well. I get chills listening to this song.
I saw him in a play in Poughkeepsie, NY and he sang this song. Every woman in the house gave their men some that night... best love song ever.
Darryl Clark i bet. 😌
Lmaooooooooo
2022 and we still coming back to this masterpiece!
I just posted the same thing lol happy mood and all. This song is a damn classic 🙌🏾
I am 45 yo with an old soul. I looooooooove this song like it just came out !!!!!
45 is old!
My boyfriend just sent me this video 🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤I love me some him😍
This is that baby making music. This is what you call some good music. 😍😍😍
Love that song
Lenny Loved that Woman! Lol....Awesome Record in Music History.
He loved them both
Real talk
The Melody And The Passion Of Lenny Is Everything.
The range in that voice is pure magic!!!
Thank's mom for raising me with such classy music.R.I.P. with dad. From your only daughter.💗❤SHERRIE.
Damn Lenny sang that piece he didn't sing it he sang it . I was really good friends with a girl and I had deep feelings for her and one day her friend told me that she had a huge crush on me I immediately told her how I felt about her . We went on a date and the place we went was full so we went back to my place and we ordered some Chinese food and I played this song and we danced and I knew she was the one I wanted to spend my life with she moved in a week and a half later . Everyone said we were moving too fast but we are still very much in love 17 years later . She is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever encountered and she is just as beautiful outside I look at her and I am absolutely smitten and I still feel lucky she chose me . This is our song and when she hears it her beautiful eyes well up and don't say a word and just listen . Thank you Lenny .
What a beautiful love story. It’s so sweet.
🥰
I'm waiting for this kind of love. Whoa beautiful song. He did that.
You ain't gotta wait.
Robertney Harlan unfortunately I do lol
Robyn Lair With a smile like that! I just thought somebody put the smile on your face. Good luck.
Robertney Harlan lol thanks for the compliment. ....enjoy your weekend! !!!
Me too lol for real i dont want anything i pick
This song had the hardest of men singing it word for word whenever it was played.
Look kids at a real concert being done with actual singing! No autotune or backup pre recorded vocals, just a talented guy 👏 who used his God given ability with great success.
this is such a beautiful song! very talented man... I used to listen to this a lot while deployed in Afghanistan and everyone I'm with hated me for it... hahaha!
Lord Alfred Dela Cruz We do what we gotta do to get through right? Thanks for your service. Navy Corpsman here!

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh , love me some him.
Thank you for your service. Excellent taste in music
this is the anthem for the man in love you just got to sing about it cause it hurt so bad
This song has me in tears every time I play it. HIS voice is mesmerizing. ❤❤❤
I remember playing this song when I was going to separate from my wife. One of the hardest saddest moments of my life. Beauty about music it helps you remember a certain moment in life. I miss her so much.
The trumpet and sax player tho.. Jamming 😂
Mom brought me up listening to this...old soul here

This is an epic love story and an emotional rollercoaster of a song! A honest, pure and astonishing performance vocally and musically. A true masterpiece!
That endiing!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful! MMMMMM
This song always put me in my feelings 😩
Me to girl.
Especially when he says you never been in love like I've been in love 😭
Most definitely feel the same as you on this one.
You too babee?
Yes it to 🌹🌹🌹😘🤭💕💕
Wow! What a timeless love song
It's 2024 and here I am reminiscing about the times when I used to watch television until television went off!
that note he hit at 2:01 GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY
DeAnthony Leggett, he knocked that 🎶note so far out of the park and into the heavens where some angel had to reach up to catch it!!!
😂😂😂😂I just got pregnant😂😂😂😂😂
And at 5:43
Goosebumps and hairs standing up on my arms. I used to sing this song every day to my daughter as I took her to head start. One day I forgot and she lost it...
This is when you have aheart and soul the gretest love their is
Me too ❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶
❤ My momma played this song on repeat as far back as always as I can remember 🥰 My lullaby 😂 and I was born in ‘91! 😂❤
The violins and the background vocals are what makes this song so hypnotic.
I love this. This was back in the day when if you were appearing on a live music TV show, you'd DAMN well sing you song just like on the album...none of the crap singers pull these days (changing lines, half-assing it, making the audience sing parts...)
No bullshit you hit it right on the money
YES! YOU DANG RIGHT!
So TRUE 😂😂
plus they got auto-tune. SMDH.
Do you realize that a lot of performances back then were lip synced. Every Soul Train performance was lip synced to ensure it did always sound just like the record.
U get looooonelayyyy, damn I love this song
My brother Richard (Bullet) Anthony, used to sing to my beautiful Sister Deborah, before he passed. This songs brings a lot of smiles. Blast from the past.
Shit like this makes me cry, just from the craving to feel that way again... I cry in need for loving, and I cry out of happiness of people able to feel such a strong feeling of love ... I can't get enough of music like this... That shit right here is pure love on vax... 🤗🤜🤛
Can’t believe I’ve never heard this until today. Amazing.
Whaaaatttt. Sorry man
The kings of comedy taught me about this tune and I'm still listening years and years later.
I can see Steve dancing and describing the doing to the crowd now
THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANY-MORE.
Happy Birthday Lennie -- born February 16, 1945
Only the ones who love hard will understand this song ❤ classic I love this song 🎶🎶🎶
