Obryan did not receive the recognition that he should have. This version just literally broke me down to pieces. What I would do to see him perform. I'm not a groupie but since seeing him perform on soul train I have prayed to one day see him. I became his number one fan!!
On this day in 1983 {July 16th} O'Bryan performed "You and I" on the nationally syndicated television program, 'Soul Train'... At the time "You and I" was at #21 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, two weeks earlier it had peaked at #19 {for 2 weeks}...

Plus he had two Top 20 records, the above "You and I" and "I'm Freaky" {#15 in 1983}... O'Bryan, born O'Bryan Burnette II, will celebrate his 59th birthday in five months on December 5th, 2020... May Don Cornelius {1936 - 2012} R.I.P. * And from the 'For What It's Worth' department, the Top 10 the week that "Lovelite" was at #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart: At #2.

"Lady You Are" by One Way
I had never heard this song before but I went to a wedding & the bride stopped her wedding, grabbed the groom's hand & she sang this song! The fact that he didn't know she could sing blew him away & the words of this song is so powerful that there wasn't a dry eye in the church not even the minister could hold back his tears. Beautiful !!!!
I was here at this Concert, and was one of the first group to arrive. I remember when O'bryan walked in, everybody had great seats, and it was the bomb!! We partied for real!! Vodka'd up!! Can't wait to see him next week in Hollywood. I hope that he sings songs from First, which is a very dope CD. I am such a die hard fan.
After all that shit talked about him, after all that was the hater shit.. It's always the beautiful people who always has the oppressors , if you have it ..O'Bryan has it.
I hate that i don.t remember him but i know the song from hearing it on good times. He looks really good from seeing his album cover..and his voice is amazing. I love this song so much.
Forgive me for sayin..but somebody need to get told off real good for misrepresenting that dope ass song and dope ass legendary Artist an I’m being real chill about it-drowned out his mic with all that BAND like what in the Hell was the mixer guy thinking!? DROWNING OUT OB! The LEGENDARY VOCALS FROM ONE OF THE BIGGEST BUMP TAPE HITS OF MY TIME!!! AHHHH!!! Ok I’m cool now. Thank you for your time 🙏🏾☝🏾
Yes and what I love about him, is that the way he holds his notes. His voice is so pure and just beautiful. I had a teen ask me "Name some male artists your loved and can sing?" Well there are a lot but first name that came out my mouth quickly was "O'Bryan...study him." (wink)
Clausell Williams The comparison are inescapable but completely unnecessary... certainly anyone viewing this clip has a little time behind them . With that we should all pray for a little wisdom too
I like O'Bryan's version but hey it's blasphemy to try an say anyone can do a Stevie song better than Stevie....(in my Eddie Murphy's voice) "Stevie Wunderr is a musicoleee geniusessss"
Obryan did not receive the recognition that he should have. This version just literally broke me down to pieces. What I would do to see him perform. I'm not a groupie but since seeing him perform on soul train I have prayed to one day see him. I became his number one fan!!
Here in 2024 still enjoying this song.
One of the most underrated voices of our time. Still sounds so good!
O'bryan is a living Legend...He has a beautiful voice after all these years....
pro tip : watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Lian Hank definitely, I've been using flixzone for since november myself :D
This is such a beautiful song and it was one of my wedding songs.
OOOH WEE I'm back in the 80's the best time on the planet the 70's thru the 90's
This man is still beautiful and I love this song still in 2024

Hmmm... he looks (& still sounds) good even after all those yrs since this track came out ;-)

Much love to this: Classic still play this: album will never die real R.B:
That was a BAD Brotha! Why did he get black balled out the industry?
He could have been just as big as Prince!
He wasn't blackballed.
So beautiful!! Fantastic artist ❤️🥰

oh Yesssssssssssss yes lord!!!!
He’s the only one that did a great remake of Stevie Wonders song
Beautifully done!!! He still got it!
Forgive me for sayin..but somebody need to get told off real good for misrepresenting that dope ass song and dope ass legendary Artist an I’m being real chill about it-drowned out his mic with all that BAND like what in the Hell was the mixer guy thinking!?

True that madam Tia
Composed by none other than Stevie Wonder.
Stevie wonder should have wrote the song and giving it to O'Brien because that is definitely an O'Brien song no one can do it better than him
Sing it
27 With 37
FYI Steven Wonder done this song at first, but O’Bryan’s version is better and lovely ❤
Love O'Bryan's version, but acoustics very bad at this location.
Michael of good times ain't too bad
Neither
He did a better job than Stevie Wonder
You crazy as shit!! you must not know music at all.lol I love O'Bryan version but stevie's is a classic
Stevie Wonder is a vocal genius
he sounds great but sound as if the band was drowning my boy out
747hitman I said the same thing. They are playing over him
Maxwell-esque
Yes indeed O'Bryan's was way better than Stevie wonder's verse
YES IT WAS! I am a Stevie fan too, but ummmm....O'BRYAN knocked this song out of the park! O'BRYAN CAN SING! LORD! LOVE THIS ARTIST!
I dont even try to compare the two. Both versions are great and really ride in their own lane.
Clausell Williams
The comparison are inescapable but completely unnecessary... certainly anyone viewing this clip has a little time behind them . With that we should all pray for a little wisdom too
Clausell Williams I think so too!
I like O'Bryan's version but hey it's blasphemy to try an say anyone can do a Stevie song better than Stevie....(in my Eddie Murphy's voice) "Stevie Wunderr is a musicoleee geniusessss"
The band is fine, but the mic is not right.
Yes, you're right!
WoW electricty..allthough the crappy sound!..
Beautiful
