2024 Anyone?
Definitely a fan 😎
Yo from Brasil!
From south of Brazil, what a great rendition!!
Every day ❤
Brenda, I'm with you
Watching and (still enjoying) in 2024!
this is a type of song to rest of life!
You know you're good when James Ingram & Michael McDonald sing back-up for you!
Duuuhhh? She's THE Brenda Russel. 🤣
Wow! I agree!
GODDAMM right! I agree.
L.U.X. 🥂🍾 and Lee Ritnour on guitar
WOW!!!! BACKUP SINGERS DAMN!!!!! Drop they mic🎤
Pure talent. No weird backup show, no skintight sexualization, nothing overtly obscene. Just pure talent.
❤❤❤
Yup
Very true, which I really appreciate.
Indeed 🥺🎹🎼 great performance magníficent🇺🇸
She sounds Fabulous Live and Looks Great!! This record came out in the 87/88 Summer when I was pregnant with my first child, who is currently 36!!
Her voice is beautiful. I miss singers, songs, just music in general like this
Maravilhosa música....de sonhar!!
I feel you Shaina. Brenda Russell is the real deal.
I agree. The 60's-80's music era was just so special, and it can never be equaled. Today's just so bland, so boring so meaningless. I'm feel so blessed to have been a part of all of that great music from the past; to have been able to have experienced it when it was being created and brought to the air waves and all the live concerts.
We miss REAL talent.
Same
OMG - I literally screamed when I saw James Ingram and Michael McDonald - this here is musical history folks. Real talent !! So beautiful !
Studio quality vocals and two amazing backup singers. This is stunning live work!
+Kevin Pauley
I think they had the amazing Phil Perry back there too.
❤
This song reminds me of summer evenings during my childhood in Baltimore, Maryland… sounds just like a warm night in June, the sun is just starting to go down and this song is playing in the radio just as I’m starting to fall asleep
You forgot to mention "sipping on some good whiskey on thr rocks"
Lol, I hope they weren't sipping on whiskey as a child
@@Input1914 lol good point. I must have been sipping on whiskey as a child.
@@mohlomitauhadi2249😅😅
And now it’s like a fever dream😭
ONE OF THE GREATEST LOVE SONGS EVER WRITTEN ( !!!!! )
For a live performance she sounds impeccable. Cant think of many modern vocalists that could pull this off.
Sean Murphy Yeah I know right without the help of auto tune.
Tru dat
Sean Murphy yeah almost everybody need studio trics to sound good i guess computers do everything now.
Whitney would've murdered this song. The original is the best but Whitney is the best pop and R&B vocalist of all-time. Chaka is number two.
@@rica.7370 Brenda's voice is perfect for this song. Comfortable, pleasant and lovely. Just because Whitney had operatic vocals doesn't mean she's the right fit for every song. Sometimes Whitney's strong extended vocals overshadowed the music and that would ruin this particular song which has incredible background music.
She's great! Gourgeous voice, hair, skin color, everything perfect! Backing vocals amazing as she is!
And her background vocals is James Ingrams and Michael Donald
If there's anything better than hearing an old classic, it's hearing an old classic performed live and it sounds even better than the record. And wow, James AND Michael backing her up on vocal with that great session band. Love how Brenda just delivers the song - rather than singing every bar in 6 different keys to show off, she just uses her range and power at the right moments of the song - turning it up on the bridge to the chorus and then back down low. One of my all-time faves, hasn't lost a thing - that bridge to chorus is GOOSEBUMP CITY!
Greetings: I know the feeling.
I totally agree
Nailed it! ❤
Hermosa voz de que año es este concierto saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Songs like this make me miss the music of the 80s. So haunting and beautiful.
IM FROM BRAZIL I like very much this song congratulation America
Everybody dies...everything dies.
What do you mean haunting? It is a word I would use as well. Almost mystical.
Best decade ever.
... that’s because music was still done by musicians
Backing vocals JAMES INGRAM & MICHAEL MACDONALD,, lux !
Tbm percebi isso ...show
Paulo Roberto por acaso eles são do Toto ??
Não Fernando ! Mas o Michael Macdonald, já foi acompanhado pela banda Toto em turnês.
Ah sim obgd!!!!
wonderful!
What a beautiful soul. I smile every time I hear this song. When, I had my son 1988, this song was playing. I always think back to that blessed day.
This song always makes my eyes blurry with emotion.
Perfect live vocals. You can't say that for 99.9% of the mainstream acts out there today. Not even Adele
you're right!
Michael Mcdonald and James Ingram as her backup singers and Lee Ritenour on guitar awesome!!! ... I love Breda's voice
This is a brilliant song in oh, so many ways, lyrical, production, arrangement, stage presence, and most importantly, a singer who knows how to present the song, not herself!
This is a timeless piece of music.
+Ed Weichsler This is I wanna comment!
+Ed Weichsler A masterpiece.......no doubt.... and she also has written "Get Here", which became a huge worldwide success for Oleta Adams.......
Still prefer Russell's version. Love her.
Goose bumps. Great song, great singer, wonderful arrangement.
Wow, this takes me back to a warm hearted time! Just wow!
Back when singers could sing live. She sounds perfect.
I was young when this song came out, I knew nothing about playing piano in the dark. But so loved this song. I saw James Ingram and Michael McDonald singing background I know this was something nice.
Luv this at home alone by the fire thinking about that one special person ❤😂
Simples, linda, elegantissima!! Voz linda demais!!! Amoooooo... I can feel your emotion... Oh yeahhhhh
Concordo!
yes
Essa cantora tem uma voz muito linda, voz forte, potente
Yes indeed 😌
Amazing her much Brenda Russell's live performance of "Piano In The Dark" sounds like the studio version! As a child of the 80's I have to ask, where'd all the singers go?? You just don't hear music like this anymore!
You absolutely do, Bruno Mars is making a living off of it
You’re absolutely right,Kevin!
@@menoknow1972 He's good, but not even in the same Universe as Brenda was.
Good question
She sounds even better live. ❤
So very exquisitely done! Ingram and McDonald backing her up fantastic!
Excepcional interpretación.....es un deleite escuchar la voz de Brenda Russel y tremenda canción en vivo
Verdade ❤ sempre ouvindo 😂
Brenda Russel canta muito uma voz linda e essa musica linda tbm passa uma tranquilidade uma serenidade absurda tbm otima musica .
I remember my parents dancing to this song in our kitchen!!❤
James Ingram e Michael MC Donald's....vocais perfeitos.....não poderia ter ficado melhor......
I recently downloaded a bunch of Brenda Russell's music, and I'm so upset that I wasn't more familiar with her works, she has quickly become one of my favorite artist. She a great writer and singer, Thank for sharing your precious gift.
One of my favorite songs. I remember this used to play on the radio all the time, and where i first learned about Brenda Russell! This lady brings it!! Bravo!
Absolutely correct....powerful song.
Be still my beating heart..One of the most beautiful vocal performances ever.Oh how I miss 80’s music.
Had the pleasure of seeing Ms. Russell in concert in Atlanta. Great performance! Standing ovation after almost every number. At one point in between songs, she teared up and said, “You people are so nice to me!” A truly classy lady!
This is perfection. The song swirls up and down, and her voice and performance are just way too awesome. I need more music like this.
that part where she transitions into the chorus at 1:22 minutes is emotional gold. where her lead vocal and the backing vocals come together to sing "back to love you" in unison. what other songs have that moment where the backing and lead vocals sing different vocals and melodies and then come together in unison? that is some epic stuff.
excellent observation - further, it only helps her backup singers are just 2 of the best crooners the 90's offered, James Ingram and Michael McDonald, (seems only 2 lead singers would know how to behave as backups, as they know what a lead needs in the song, lol)
So right
She sings it very clean even in live! Love Brenda Russel and this rendition😘🙌
Que voz maravilhosa que essa mulher tem!!! Uma pena não existir mais músicas e cantores como antigamente!
A sim como não existe anjo como voce
A voz... A interpretação ....
Brenda mexe comigo... Ouço essa musica em sua voz... Tudo fica diferente a minha volta... Meu estado de consciência muda se eleva... Obrigado Brenda!
Meu amigo também penso do mesmo jeito.
Da suas palavra, faço a minha

O poder da música sobre as pessoas❤
Great song...and she absolutely kills the vocals!!
Beautiful Song! Beautiful Woman!
My husband invited me to a dance floor in our small town, and this was the song we held each other to. He’s passed away now
In my memory of that dance is wonderful. God bless you and it’s listeners.
Saw this amazing performer at the Dominion Theatre in London, her first UK concert performing this album - Brilliant!
I'm Jealous
The year 1988 was a spectacular one in music. As far as I"m concerned this stood out as the year's best song. Simply put a very powerful and great musical composition. I stop what I'm doing every time I hear it and get emotional. Thanks Brenda, Joe and the rest of the contributors who made this song tremendous.
This song is a little ahead of its time. It would have done even better had this been produced and sung between 1993-1994, a period where power ballads, adult contemporary and r&b were becoming mainstream, a time when 80's dance pop and hard rock had fizzed out. This song would've been perfect for the 1992-1994 era, a time that saw the emergence of Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, Celine Dion, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Gloria Estafan, all singing memorable power ballads during this time period.
This live sounds like the studio version. Hats off! ✨✨
Seeing this for first time, always loved this song..BLOWN AWAY that James Ingrham & Michael McDonald SINGING BACKGROUND…WOW!
The Best Singer!!!!
Wait, was that James Ingram and Micheal McDonald singing back up? ?? Oh man!
Yes that's a treat!! Two greats as her back up
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
You right ✅
Nossa cantora linda,canção maravilhosa e eu tendo que aturar essas bombas de hoje em dia,Brenda demais que coisa linda é pra amar eternamente!!!
1/7/2024: Beautiful song. Beautiful woman. Beautiful back up👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾. Js Ingram has passed now.
Oh man, she caused tears to come down. Damn....
OMG. Never gets old. Still listening in 2019. Anyone else?
Still listening, great vocals
May 2020
always
Her voice sounds as good or better than the record. The whole performance sounds like a record as well. It's just that good.
Flawless performance!
She sounds great live right here. Beautiful lady and song.
It is such a tough difficult song to sing because of the intricacy of the melody and requires so much soul. Brenda Russell sang it unbelievably and so effortlessly! Many unknown singers internationally oversang it and lacked soul. It requires someone like Brenda Russell to make it a classic song.
UMA DAS MUITAS LINDAS MÚSICAS DAQUELE TEMPO . . . QUE NÃO VOLTA. MAS A MELODIA FICOU PARA SEMPRE EM NOSSAS MENTES E CORAÇÕES.
Falou tudo +mario
Very beautiful voice and TY Brenda . :)
Sounds just as good as on the track! Incredible!
This is the song that spoke for the sadly short lived era in the 80s when contemporary jazz took a step in the smoothe direction. Fatboy Slim, Chris Botti, Diana Krall et al. owe Brenda a debt of gratitude drawing in so many fans of that genre.
Brilliant and talented Brenda you are sooooooooooooooooo good not like the crap we have to listen to these days
Sounds just the same as my cd’s back in the day. No gimmicks just beautiful voice. Absolute talented artist . Love this song. ✌🏻👍🏼💚🙏🏼
Beautiful woman' ,Great singer! Awsome 😎
Que voz suave musica de 1988 hehe tinha 6 anos na epoca por isso que ainda me lembro dessa musica
Nossa Velho!!
Como a Brenda Russell é LINDA!!
Linda em TDS os Sentidos!!
TALENTO ESPETACULAR!!!
A beautiful song beautifully sung by Brenda!!!! Superb.
Man do I ❤love this song!!!!
I couldn't believe this record was from 1988. Still sounds so fresh. I thought maybe the year 2003, or something. Thanks!!
She is so beautiful and her voice is unforgettable.
When I was a young boy I was listening all the time. 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Always been in love with her. 👊❤️🙏😇 I've won trophies because your songst❤❤❤❤❤
Love Brenda Russell. Great songwriter too!
I remember this song came out a few years after I graduated from high school. One of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. This song doesn't seem to age. It's as good in 2021 as it was way back then.
2021 South Africa We Listening
Como é bom ouvir música de qualidade.

She sound great live. Wish I had been there. A great voice and beautiful. Oh yeah!!
It's 2019 and yet im still listening to this song...
me too
Beautiful performance ...
When I find myself watching the time
I never think about all the funny things you said
I feel like it's dead
Where is it leading me now
I turn around in the still of the room
Knowing this is when I'm gonna make my move
Can't wait any longer
And I'm feeling stronger but oh
Just as I walk through the door (just a little more time)
I can feel your emotion (can't you feel my emotion)
It's pullin' me back (just a little more time)
Back to love you
I know I'm caught up in the middle
I cry just a little
When I think of letting go
Oh no, gave up on the riddle
I cry just a little
When he plays piano in the dark
He holds me close like a thief of the heart (thief of the heart)
He plays a melody
Born to tear me all apart
The silence is broken
And no words are spoken but oh
Just as I walk through the door (just a little more time)
I can feel your emotion (can't you feel my emotion)
It's pullin' me back (just a little more time)
Back to love you
I know I'm caught up in the middle
I cry just a little
When I think of letting go
Oh no, gave up on the riddle
I cry just a little
When he plays piano in the dark
In the dark...
The silence is broken
And no words are spoken but oh
Just as I walk through the door (just a little more time)
I can feel your emotion (can't you feel my emotion)
Oh baby, pullin' me back (just a little more time)
Back to love you
I know I'm caught up in the middle
I cry just a little
When I think of letting go
Oh no, gave up on the riddle
I cry just a little
I cry, I cry
I know I'm caught up in the middle
I cry just a little
When I think of letting go
Oh no, gave up on the riddle
I cry just a little
When he plays piano in the dark
In the dark
I can't let go...
Beautiful song...Beautiful voice... Beautiful woman.
Beautiful voice and song

Grande Brenda Russel linda maravilhosa ótima musica perfeita saudades dos anos 80 e 90 saudades BRENDA RUSSELL para sempre
How am I just seeing this AMAZING performance in 20effin23?? So beautiful. Hearing her live, I hear a bit of Dionne Warwick in Brenda's wonderful voice.
This is a majestic piece! And the caliber of the musicians amazing!
Beautiful song! I recognize the chorus from another newer song it was sampled into. Anyway,I'm 22 and I wish we had more music like this nowadays😩. Music with real feeling and so much talent. Love her voice, she's beautiful and the instrumentals... everything just ✨👌🏾😍.
i can't understand the fact that there are 25 people on this earth that gave this tender, beautiful piece of music & emotions the thumbs down
Beatiful vocals and live wow trully gifted..And the back vocals nothing but the best..
She has a beautiful sound.
One of the most beautiful voices ever!! ❤️❤️
This song will always give me chills... in a good way.
She's a goddess. And she plays piano in the dark. 💯
Uma das mais Lindas Músicas que eu já escutei na Vida!
concordo
Jane Lourenço da Silva 😉
Romântica
apresentação monstruosamente linda!!!!
This is just excellent, always loved Brenda Russell
Wow! James Ingram and Michael McDonald on background..
Eugenia Brown Boy, that's a lot of background vocal firepower there! Talk about overkill!
@@ebsnodgrass WHAT'S ARE YOU DOING NOW 🙏 HEAR NOW 🙏
Não ouço essa música tem uns dez anos.... nem sou dessa época, mas faz uns três dias que ela toca na minha cabeça, apareceu do nada, vai entender?
