@@viniciusmagnoni6492 the song was released in 1981. I saw them sing this live in 1982, Philippine International Convention Center, Manila, Philippines. So I stand corrected, 38 years ago when I commented to this in 2019.
Hell's yeah, 56yrs old and I'm rocking this in the car, in the house. The kids and grandkids don't understand it but they listen cuz it makes me happy.
George Duke's brilliance was a major reason I discovered and love contemporary jazz. He was a brilliant musician who made great R&B, funk, jazz and pop music. R.I.P. & God bless you "Sir Duke"!
NO DOUBT I WAS FORTUNATE THE LATE GREAT GEORGE DUKE SIGNED 22 ALBUM COVERS FOR ME IN RETURN I MADE TRIBUTE TO HIM IN 2012 TO SHARE ALL MY 33 ALBUM COVERS ON FACEBOOK.
I'm so glad you brought up the lyrical aspect of the song I almost don't have words to say because the feeling is so much greater than words can ever say or equate to but I'll just say this that the lyrics , the story is really what gets me it's written very well. The simplicity of the music the melody the groove the hook , the feeling that you get from this song matched with his story is priceless!!! Love it love it love it!!
This song just popped into my head in the dead of night, for no reason. I got out of bed just to search it and it just brought a flood of great musical memories over me. I just love it, RIP George xx
Nikki Royal it is 3:42 am and I just woke up and this song was playing in my head. I googled it because I didn't know who was the artist. I thought white guys sang this but was shocked to learn it's a George Duke song.
Maaannnnn George Duke's voice is EVERYTHING! The way he sang this song brings me back to a time when we could enjoy our lives. Now, you can lose your life shopping for groceries. 💔One of THE greatest songs in life ever! The lyrics are so beautiful and unique that this song brings tears to my eyes. BEAUTIFUL!! ❤ R.I.P MR. GEORGE DUKE. 💔🕊
When I think about your lovin' The Sunday evenings, the fun we used to share Looking through the memories in my mind Since I've laughed and cried and thought it over Now I realize that it's never over, it's only set aside Oh it's you, sweet baby I will never be free from your embrace, sweet baby Only hoping it's not too late to try again It's you, sweet baby Ever lost and captured by your smile, sweet baby I will always be right there by your side Right by your side Lying here alone I'm dreaming My mind keeps wandering, my thoughts are only you Looking through the memories in my mind How could love so real have turned so empty I just keep wondering why Will I ever find the love we shared together, you and I Girl it's you, sweet baby Though we had such a long hard road to climb, sweet baby Only hoping it's not too late to try again It's you, sweet baby Won't you try belivin what i say, sweet baby I will always be right there by your side Right by your side
Can't sleep, my father passed 07 Jan 2021, I'm about to make a road trip to handle his affairs in Hazlehurst, MS. So much anxiety going on inside me, just sitting up in my bed listening to songs that make me think of him and the good old days when pretty much all my loved ones that have passed on were all here and vibrant and in their prime. Life is too short, find your happy spot people!
Prayers & Condolences...I lost my only sibling many years ago & this song always made me think of him. Life is truly so precious & so are the people we love...
What a treat! I never even dreamed these two actually made a video for this song. The 70's music have the best feeling. The early 80's music is worth listening to for inspiration as well. Today's music is such a spiritual and mental let down. A majority of it is made by dysfunctional, for the dysfunctional. But not at all made for everyone abroad the spectrum. Anyways. This song is timeless for the ears and for the soul.
We will never get these sweet songs back. The world has changed. Unfortunately artitstic fakes, not artists have taken over. Clarke and Duke...simply fantabulous!!!
Come on naysayers, the music is out there we just have to look for it, no different than back then. We're older now, we don't listen to pop radio (and because we're coming out of the swirl generation) into Reagan's administration 80's Duran Duran, Rick Astley but Elvis Costello made some of his best stuff, Funkadelic some of their best stuff, music lovers find it. Look at Kamasi Washington's latest. Maybe I don't make the time to look like I did back then. Sorry, a beautiful, wonderful song.
"artitstic fakes, not artists have taken over" the most successful musical celebrities in our time are vapid popstars. talentless as most of them are, it is disingenuous to call them fakes they make no pretense of artistry. those who listen to them and their musical products do not care for such things. they arent fake because they make no claim to be real. the intended audience doesnt care otherwise
@@stoshrice4060 , its ridiculous when people use the its out there, you have to look for it bulls__t. ITS NOT OUT THERE. THE MUSICAL LANDSCAPE IS FILLED WITH TALENTLESS CRAP. The writting,production, arrangement, vocals musicianship of the 60s, 70s are so far superior to the shit that passes for music today, that its a joke. MTV was the beginning of the end.
Man, this tune is like a time machine that transports me to a specific moment in my life: spinning records (yes, LPs) at KMOO in 1981, sitting at the back door smoking a twist as the sun was setting, and the last few notes of "Sweet Baby" playing in the background... then, silence. Dead air, stoner! Start the next 45! (LOVED that job!!!)
Feel the same, only I was in LA listening on K EARTH ! Duke had another great song around the same time called SHINE ON that had a lot of air play in LA as well! Great tune!
You hit the nail on the head! This song is like a marker in time for me. It reminds me of pursuing the woman who is now my wife. George Duke produced a ton of great music!
I was born 8/28/1970, and the 70's and 80's music was phenomenal! So thankful to UA-cam and the uploaders who put this wonderful music for everyone....
Rambo. . .be nice (hahaha). Don't forget Kanye West, whose fans don't even know who is Sir Paul McCartney and who claimed to be the biggest rock star. David Crosby just told him to go see Stevie Wonder (lol)
This came out when I was an undergrad in a part of Florida that was tainted with racism …music like this helped to calm me down at times when I needed it!
Rest in heaven George... Thank you for growing me up on your music and soulful voice.. As a young girl living on base this would be the go to song for us all... The school halls/ PX/ Commissary/ Dr. Office/ Home... Just wish there was music like this Today..
Absolutely! I'm 56, can remember being 12 loving this the summer of 79. Oh, what an amazing dou these guys were! An amazing era in music at that time! These types of classics are rare these days...oh well at least we had yesteryear ❤
I was going into my senior year in high school that fall and I’m telling you, even youngsters knew good, quality entertainment such as Sir Duke, Stanley Clark, EWF, Lee Ritenour, Michael Franks~ (there’s so many more I haven’t mentioned…I apologize not mentioning you) So it was a must that I own this album back in ‘81 I listen to this song and all the things that were happening in my life come rushing in like a tidal wave! Nothing but nice, mellow vibes… the world has changed however. Music has changed as well. I digress. Happy am I to have witnessed better days…Mr Clarke, you’ve made part of my growing up a whole lot sweeter like the fruit from a blessed garden! Words just cannot capture the music of my heartbeat : thank you, so kindly! And Sir Duke, I just know you’re having the best time up in that great jazz festival in the sky!! Thank you! We love the both of you legends!!
i was born 10984 and my late dad brought me casette tapes of these amazing artists..up to now,this music keeps me up..gives me such a feeling no one can ever give me..contentment...peace of mind...thank heavens for these artists..
Released just after my 18th birthday, I went out and bought this LP --- and even at the time, I was thinking, "why am I buying this old people's album,' but the songs on the record were just phenomenal and the musicianship was just so delightful to the ear and to hear. Clarke on the upright bass and George on the 88s! But back in the 80s, seeing the video of the song was darn near next to impossible --- so LONG LIVE THE TUBE! #facts #each1teach1
Джордж Дюк был лучший и фантастический в своих красивых и гармоничных песнях и музыке в целом как его не хватает сейчас его мастерства исполнения на музыкальном Олимпе люди земли по тебе и твоему творчеству скучают мистер Джордж Дюк)))❤❤❤
Stanley Clarke & The Late George Duke come once in a lifetime brilliance!! I had the original cassette tape .... This track brings goosebumps to me simply because of its phenomenal artistry...... Decades later ... This song is Timeless & it'll play on INFINITY !!! ♾️ REST IN PEACE GEORGE DUKE 🎹 🎹 🎹 🎹 🕊️🕊️🕊️ 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
With tears in my eyes.. this song will forever remind me of my high school sweetheart.. it was a turbulent 32 year ride but wouldn’t trade my experience with him for the world😔😔
💖This masterpiece will always be among my favorite love ❤️ songs! I remember exactly where I was when it was released in 1981. It only took 1 listen, and I fell in love!!
Jerry Washington I just wished I could bring back all my family & friends who were integral to my upbringing and just have a formal appreciation dinner and a toast prior to their untimely demise. Which is why you cannot forget to tell anybody that you love them because you just may not get that opportunity........
Absolutely!!! A beautiful and wonderful song_this I haven't heard since my early childhood yrs. Growing up in South Philly... such wonderful memories listening to this heavy hitting classic song...
@@MakeupbyjakkiTVHello how are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is Winton Moore and how is the weather over there
Cos musicians now want instant success. Using jus 4 chords to make music!! Some songs of eg Stevie wonder intro alone has 6 power jazz chords!!! U get the idea??
As a lover of beautiful LYRICS ...All I can say is Woooooo...never tired at all...59 years old and rocking it as I did back then at Kutztown State College...1981!!!
I am both equally appreciative of and humbled by UA-cam. There was so much good music made in the 70's & 80's that would've been lost by the wayside otherwise. This is on vinyl somewhere in somebody's grandma's attic and they have no idea. Sad to think that but at least we have UA-cam. Thank you much.
Jan.12th: Happy birthday R&B-Jazz-Soul-Funk Singer-Musician-Keyboardist, Composer-Musical Director-Arranger George Duke (1946-2013) Thank you and God bless. RIP Genius. Thanks for the upload, Blessings
It's hard to believe that it's been 35 years since this song was Top 20 on the Pop Chart & the Adult Contemporary Chart and Top 10 on the Soul Chart God Bless Stanley Clarke and R.I.P. to Sir Duke, God Bless You and Thanks for what you've done for the Music Industry and BTW, this song was played on Dick Clark's American Bandstand, Soul Train with the late Don Cornelius and America's Top 10 and American Top 40 with the late Casey Kasem as well as on BET Plus, this song was out when One Day at a Time, The Jeffersons, Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life, SOAP, Benson, Hart to Hart, Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, Alice, Dallas, Knots Landing, Falcon Crest, The Dukes of Hazzard, Makin' a Living, M*A*S*H, Trapper John, M.D., Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Three's Company, Little House on the Prairie, Magnum, P.I., Simon & Simon, SOLID GOLD, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, The NEW Tic Tac Dough, The Joker's Wild, BULLSEYE and 3-2-1 Contact were still on the air Plus, late Richard Dawson was still KING of the Family Feud, the late Jim Perry was still the Master Mechanic of Card Sharks and Chuck Woolery and Susan Stafford were still spinning the Wheel of Fortune
I was riding the subway and this song jumped in my head and once I got home I played it on tube and did not know George duke and Stanley Clarke sung this song. This is a classic
Total classic, I was 14 when this came out. I heard it on the radio! Timeless classic and between George Duke on piano and lead vocals, Stanley Clarke on bass and backup vocals, the gentle violin and drums. I still get the chills of this beautiful love song. Both George Duke and Stanley Clarke wrote this song. George Duke composed music. My daughters, nieces and nephews I exposed them to all genres of music, my siblings and myself always play this at family functions. God rest your Soul George Duke ( you made all of us so happy).🙏❤️🎶🎹🎸
This is one of the most ICONIC SONGS EVER WRITTEN; by two of the Greatest Jazz musicians as A collaborative effort! And This song always brings a tear to my eyes everytime I hear it! RIP GEORGE DUKE! WE MISS U!😞♥🙏🇵🇷
Purple Reign, it popped in my mind while working on the computer. First I googled the lyrics, then came here. I've been singing up a storm with memories of an era that was so wonderful!
I was in a relationship that was having trouble the time this song came out. We got back together, but eventually did break up which devastated me. Every time I hear this song, I think about that time in my life and smile. She was the love of my life.
I've been an Stanley Clarke and George Duke fan since I was a little pup. now I'm a full grown dog and I love this type of music. rest in peace GEORGE DUKE
This beautiful song takes me back to being 9 years old and listening to it on FM 98 WJLB out of Detroit. I am so glad I found it again, thank you for it. ❤
Nobody has the talent to do it! Good music has to come from within the soul, a God giving thing otherwise, people reject it! Or leave it out. So be it.

One of the really underappreciated duos of this generation. Two terrific musicians, one soulful, groovy song.
That’s so true 😢
I am 58 years young and this was the music I grew up to.
Being a teen listening to this kind of music ❤
Right there with you. This great tune takes me back to 1981 when I was a young 15 year old.
Wow, what memories!
Flood of memories listening to this music. I was a sophomore in high school. Nothing can compare to the 80’s!
Hell's yeah, 56yrs old and I'm rocking this in the car, in the house. The kids and grandkids don't understand it but they listen cuz it makes me happy.

@@JaneWilliam-fs2ty Hello Winton.
When I think about your lovin'
The Sunday evenings, the fun we used to share
Looking through the memories in my mind
Since I've laughed and cried and thought it over
Now I realize that it's never over, it's only set aside
Oh it's you, sweet baby
I will never be free from your embrace, sweet baby
Only hoping it's not too late to try again
It's you, sweet baby
Ever lost and captured by your smile, sweet baby
I will always be right there by your side
Right by your side
Lying here alone I'm dreaming
My mind keeps wandering, my thoughts are only you
Looking through the memories in my mind
How could love so real have turned so empty
I just keep wondering why
Will I ever find the love we shared together, you and I
Girl it's you, sweet baby
Though we had such a long hard road to climb, sweet baby
Only hoping it's not too late to try again
It's you, sweet baby
Won't you try belivin what i say, sweet baby
I will always be right there by your side
Right by your side
Thanks for posting the lyrics . I'm trying to patch up loved ones broken relationships & these lyrics are just perfect 🥰💞👌
Just love the lyrics.
TY, I was literally about to Google the lyrics!
Sweet
Brings back so much memories from the past. Feels so good to listen to this beautiful masterpiece all over again. 😢❤

me
I was 💯
In England watching F-111’s doing the “Elephant Walk”!
The great George Duke
Yeah A kid ,but still listening 😁
I’m a millennial but I prefer old songs like this. This is real music 😌
Me three!! Btw, I'm a post millennial!! I am more interested in discovering and reliving old songs.
I'm 61 years old and It's up to me to keep these songs going! FUNNN....
I understand why. If you compare old songs and what happens now.....You'll realize that...There's no songs anymore......JUST IT
1992 here, I like listening to those songs even if I'm not born on that time :)
Old songs never gets old.
Also a millennial. 😍😅

Owen Rich Well said
Owen, so true! I was so happy to find this video - and so sad to learn that George had passed. Such talented musicians and beautiful music!
Absolutely correct.. music of today sucks!!!
Very true, its good see a video for this song from the early 80's
What a beautiful song ,I remember when it came out back in the day and it still love it to this day . Thank you George Duke and RIP .
Not many singers had (or have) a smoother falsetto than George Duke. I'm still treasuring his work.
I remember fondly when this "was on the radio" in 1981... one of my favorite tunes. Rip Sir Duke.
Espetacular, simplesmente Espetacular👏👏👏👏
A true classic from the early 80’s. Duke and Stanley were an incredible Jazz/Soul duo.
Where has love gone? It was ment to be!! Only the 80's people understandstand!! My brothers dont let this grow cold! My lovè to you all always!!!
Who still listens to this type of songs now from the 80s?? ( 70-80s for the ignorance, are theee golden era of music)
stop being dumb! this was made in 1991!
George had the smoothest voice…absolute perfection. Thank you for giving us this song…and your talent! Nothing like old school R&B ❤
Hello how are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is Winton Moore and how is the weather over there

A place to a big people , and we come together side by side to that place

So true reminds me when I was small and my mom was alive 😢
This came out when I was an undergrad in a part of Florida that was tainted with racism …music like this helped to calm me down at times when I needed it!
Rest in heaven George...
Thank you for growing me up on your music and soulful voice.. As a young girl living on base this would be the go to song for us all... The school halls/ PX/ Commissary/ Dr. Office/ Home...
Just wish there was music like this Today..
Beautiful , masterful , that's George Duke . Rest in peace .

I'm the same way
Released just after my 18th birthday, I went out and bought this LP --- and even at the time, I was thinking, "why am I buying this old people's album,' but the songs on the record were just phenomenal and the musicianship was just so delightful to the ear and to hear. Clarke on the upright bass and George on the 88s! But back in the 80s, seeing the video of the song was darn near next to impossible --- so LONG LIVE THE TUBE!

We're fortunate we know such a beautiful song like this. Hope more than millions get to discover this song because it's worth it.
Classic ballad, & classic ballads last forever. Beautiful collaboration, such pretty piano. Underrated song that shoulda been a bigger hit.
Music of my childhood. George Duke is the man.
Hello how are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is Winton Moore and how is the weather over there
Джордж Дюк был лучший и фантастический в своих красивых и гармоничных песнях и музыке в целом как его не хватает сейчас его мастерства исполнения на музыкальном Олимпе люди земли по тебе и твоему творчеству скучают мистер Джордж Дюк)))❤❤❤
I always remember this is the song which bring back my memories in 1981when I was first fallin in love with someone❤
Stanley Clarke & The Late George Duke come once in a lifetime brilliance!! I had the original cassette tape .... This track brings goosebumps to me simply because of its phenomenal artistry...... Decades later ... This song is Timeless & it'll play on INFINITY !!! ♾️
REST IN PEACE GEORGE DUKE 🎹 🎹 🎹 🎹

Missing my dad who passed away in 2015. That’s really his favorite song :’)
This would be in my top 10 love songs of all time.
When i was a child dont know who sing this beautiful song 😊
With tears in my eyes.. this song will forever remind me of my high school sweetheart.. it was a turbulent 32 year ride but wouldn’t trade my experience with him for the world😔😔
💖This masterpiece will always be among my favorite love ❤️ songs! I remember exactly where I was when it was released in 1981. It only took 1 listen, and I fell in love!!
This song makes me blush. It's like walking down the stairs in a slow-motion and you're just looking at your favorite person dammnnn my mind!
Yes Yes!! My thoughts exactly!! Love it!
Yes u know
Yes girl
So many memories,so many dreams deferred..
Damn...wish I could turn back the hands of time.
Jerry Washington I just wished I could bring back all my family & friends who were integral to my upbringing and just have a formal appreciation dinner and a toast prior to their untimely demise. Which is why you cannot forget to tell anybody that you love them because you just may not get that opportunity........
Jerry Washington Me. Too.
Mr. Avery I wish I could go back in time and really appreciate my mom more, and all that it took to raise us and thank her
PAISLEY PRINCESS She KNOWS

Hello how are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is Winton Moore and how is the weather over there
This is really great music! Why can't they make this kind of music nowadays? ❤❤❤
record companies are GREEDY ! keeping ignorant , ignorant ! "I wish them could come back once more" _Stevie Wonder
We will never see this type of music again. Thank God we can revisit this when we need to. ❤❤
@@MakeupbyjakkiTVHello how are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is Winton Moore and how is the weather over there
Cos musicians now want instant success. Using jus 4 chords to make music!! Some songs of eg Stevie wonder intro alone has 6 power jazz chords!!! U get the idea??
R.I.P. George Duke who died from Lymphocytic Lukemia on August 5, 2013 at 67.
😔😢
😢😭
perpetual61 Thanks for the Bio- information!!
George Duke die? não sabia?
What a pity...😥
As a lover of beautiful LYRICS ...All I can say is
Woooooo...never tired at all...59 years old and rocking it as I did back then at Kutztown State College...1981!!!
I am both equally appreciative of and humbled by UA-cam. There was so much good music made in the 70's & 80's that would've been lost by the wayside otherwise. This is on vinyl somewhere in somebody's grandma's attic and they have no idea. Sad to think that but at least we have UA-cam. Thank you much.
When a love song was ACTUALLY about love and not about raunchy sex.
RS is what all songs r about these days

God Bless Stanley Clarke and R.I.P. to Sir Duke, God Bless You and Thanks for what you've done for the Music Industry

T-Bone Hubbard .......All of those were my favorite shows! Especially 3-2-1 contact, lol
I miss those days
I remember having this. I can't remember if it was 8 track or cassette. I bought it for the song louie louie.
I was riding the subway and this song jumped in my head and once I got home I played it on tube and did not know George duke and Stanley Clarke sung this song. This is a classic
Total classic, I was 14 when this came out. I heard it on the radio! Timeless classic and between George Duke on piano and lead vocals, Stanley Clarke on bass and backup vocals, the gentle violin and drums. I still get the chills of this beautiful love song. Both George Duke and Stanley Clarke wrote this song. George Duke composed music. My daughters, nieces and nephews I exposed them to all genres of music, my siblings and myself always play this at family functions. God rest your Soul George Duke ( you made all of us so happy).🙏❤️🎶🎹🎸
This is one of the most ICONIC SONGS EVER WRITTEN; by two of the Greatest Jazz musicians as A collaborative effort! And This song always brings a tear to my eyes everytime I hear it! RIP GEORGE DUKE! WE MISS U!😞♥🙏🇵🇷
Amen
Too bad they don't make good music like this anymore. ❤️
Hello how are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is Winton Moore and how is the weather over there
💯
So sad isn't it!!
Videos were so simple and charming back then. I love it.
Purple Reign, it popped in my mind while working on the computer. First I googled the lyrics, then came here. I've been singing up a storm with memories of an era that was so wonderful!
A true classic. Holds the test of time. A fave for me.
Hello how are you doing today I hope you have a great and beautiful day today and my name is Winton Moore and how is the weather over there
My Dad might be dying soon. Your music gives me comfort.
May you have peace in your heart hold the good memories until you meet again 😢
I hope you're doing well. Always remember.... the music can comfort you...
This whole album is transcendent! This song is just the icing on the cake. Amazing duo!
I was in a relationship that was having trouble the time this song came out. We got back together, but eventually did break up which devastated me. Every time I hear this song, I think about that time in my life and smile. She was the love of my life.
April 2024 and still listening to this amazing music?

Great Nostalgia ❤️ 💯
I luv me some George .Brings back the good old days. RIP my man.
Walking the boardwalk in Ocean City, Md heard this song in 1985 has been stuck in my mind for soo many years!🎹🎙🤘🥰
I had chance to meet George Duke when came to Kansas City, but missed the chance now I regret missing a chance to meet this musical genius.
My father loved jazz and introduced me to incredible music as a child including George Duke. Pray I see you again, maybe in another life. 🙏🏾🥲

A different day and time. Those were much better days. Good memories, didn't realize how much I would miss them.
This beautiful song takes me back to being 9 years old and listening to it on FM 98 WJLB out of Detroit. I am so glad I found it again, thank you for it. ❤
Wow what a great song!!!!!!.......why, why doesn't anyone make great music like this anymore? Love it!!!!!!
a song like this is from the heart. He lost a special woman. this song is of love and pain
They don't because it is too easy and cheap to make bank on today's music. It is all about the dollah, dollah bills, y'all...
Nobody has the talent to do it! Good music has to come from within the soul, a God giving thing otherwise, people reject it! Or leave it out. So be it.
