this should be mandatory viewing for any and all artists before they perform. .it's hard to believe that this is actually live ..the vocals, the phrasing, the emotion even the band especially the horns..this may be the single greatest live performance ever..
Tonia McClain... I'm listening now, n forever to this legendary song. Back in the day, at the club, when the DJ played this hit, when Lenny hit those 13, OH OH OH notes, I would beat on the table with my hand or beer bottle in tune with him. I'm surprised I never broke a bottle 🤭 tapping on those tables.Those are memorable days. depending on where I am, I'll still beat on the table, when I hear those OH OH OH notes.☺️ Be blessed and stay safe.
Lenny Williams music is one of those songs that makes everyone want to sing along , oh oh oh …. Music is special because when you are sad, it can turn your frown upside down and smiles are the results. Music brings back memories, some good, some sad, either way music is here to help us get thru some difficult times. Thanks to all the artists out there making beautiful music, please continue making more!!!
Grew up on this song thru my parents..but this is first time Ive seen the younger Lenny Williams...this man was an amazing performer...the white band mates were def slain in the spirit...they get a lifetime cookout invite ..
Come down bro rabbit your room is ready for u and the movie star Come reminder 😢I love u all my life raised together please come down and stand with me because I miss u so much ❤😂😮😅😊
I got married 11/21/20 to my best friend and while saying my wedding vows to my wife before God family and friends i said “I love this woman like Lenny Williams love his woman”.
Sang it! Male singers of today can take lessons from this man ... ya feel me. Sing songs that tell a real story with some emotion instead of songs about how much money you got, how many cars you want or how many chicks you want to hit. He meant that and I felt it ... a classic.
This still Tower Of Power !!!! A great band! Lenny did a show on utube during the pandemic and he still has it ! He did this and it sounded the same !!!!
Only 32 but I finally understand after all these years exactly how he felt. Had to take that loss and cry for a month straight to feel that pain you never should have to feel again. I know the only woman I want to spend the rest of my life with now
I sang this to my ex girlfriend at her 42nd birthday party, and I watched the tears fall off her lovely face, and she knows that I really didn't mean to make her cry, but she did, and said to me: I'm not gonna let you have the last word, and told me that I should leave well enough alone and let's just kiss and say goodbye 👋... 🎉❤🎉❤🎉
@@shavonnie2106 I'm good, it was truly funny the way everything went on that day, I had so many people just laughing and cracking up ( you would have fell out laughing ) if you were there aswell ....
@@marshalllsmith2095 I’m sure I would have been cracking up because your first comment just about took me out …. lol… despite the fact that I was hoping you were okay. Life truly does go on whether we like it or not! 🎬🎤
@@shavonnie2106 Even though we aren't together, we're connected through many of our friends and family members being close to each other, and so she invited me to the party once she heard I was in town, so I thought it would be (foolishly/funny) to sing it to her knowing that she was single and there by herself .... " Just to show her love " I did wished her happiness in her future before I left ....
Vocal mastery; a clinic on how to reach the hearts of an audience and create a timeless classic. Brother knew how to melts them panties. Oh stop it! That was how we said it back in the day.
The absolute greatest of all times. These young artists need to take notes. Performance superb. The band was outstanding. One of the best live performances of all times. This song will NEVER get old. Love myself some Lenny Williams #LENNYW
Form 9:14 until the very end. This is is what does it for me everytime. I love this song. I use to play it for my girlfriend who is my ex now. This is the type of love I felt for her. I can't love another woman as much as I loved her. I felt every bit of this song.
Take me back to the 70’s minus the problems I had . The radio stations and all around music; rock, soul, country!! No b/s, no major weaves ( unless you were a county female singer), no veneers (no complaints about that, just good listening music Siiiiiiinnnnnngggggg mmmmaaannn !!
It's November of 2024 in 1978 when this came out i was 25 and now thank God at 71 the old lady is still listening to this grown folks music love you Lenny Williams and may God continue to bless you to perform ❤🎉

He killed this song. Such passion 👏🏼
today's singer cannot compare to this at all!!
There are some soulful singers out here but damn, I do agree with that statement.
D'Angelo is damn close
rondy702 Agreed 100%
this is real shit
I COMPLETELY AGREE !!
The real deal!!! OG!!! THIS is how you sold albums and earned a loyal fan base..
When music had things you could feel inside of each song and not just a quick "get off"!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Got into Lenny Williams back in the 70’s when he was with “Tower Of Power “ been ❤ever since then…he’s baddd.?

The two white homies on the left were swag surfing through that whole jawn
