    I'm an old white country boy and this song was popular when I was in high school. I have NO problem admitting that this is one of my all time favorites and I can sing it word for word!!!!! And no my comment has nothing to do with race just saying that great music doesn't see color or have boundaries!!

Too see him live ...mannnnn...the energy was banana's.. He is 73 and can blow these youngers cats at the water today.. Stage presence is bananas, voice is STRONG and CRYSTAL CLEAR.

    Thank you for posting this. This is my JAM! Jeffrey Osborne's voice is Golden. I am SO grateful to have lived in this era of music. There will NEVER be another musical era like the one I grew up in. 🎤🎼💛

    This may sound weird but it’s coming from listening to all of the awesome songs growing up in my 36yrs of living but never seeing them perform. Or sometimes never seeing them period. But Jeffery sounds exactly how i have always imagined him to look! Lol what an amazing singer and Band.
