Born in 1950...If I had one wish, it would be that I could take you back to my days of the late 50's thru the 60's...the music, the cars, the Saturday nights. KOMA radio, reverb, my 66 Goat, MOTOWN, the WALL of SOUND, and the nights I spent listening to these sounds...Lord how I miss them. The sounds of today just...no matter how hard they try, never come close to what we had. Forgive us Lord, for forgetting what we had...and thanks to those who have posted this and all the sounds of my day on youtube...Timi says it best...Nothing can take the place you (of this era of music).
Don't ever stop singing Brook! your songs had the same effect when I heard them as a teenager and now! It is so romantic and beautiful that I want to fall in love again all over, It's so good for the soul, body, and mind and I never get tired of playing your music. This song has significant meaning for me. I was in love with a beautiful soul.
Thank you for posting this song...now I need to find the CD with this recording. Have my father's 45 of this! Love this song and this singer! RIP, Mr. Benton!
This song by Mr Brook Benton takes me back to my love Curtis Branch who I met in 1975 andhe also is gone but never forgotten,just as Mr Benton.Thanks Brook for such a beautiful song and memory.RIP

Dear Brook and Mr Benton .... how doth one adequately mention ... (rhyme) the combined effect of thy look and voice ... both ultra ultra ultra warm, kind, disarming, gentlemanly, paternally wise, reassuring, yet ever-wooing. Dear lovely, warm man and dad-you-desire-to-date, Uncle first heard his lovely Ike Hayes (who declared thee as one of his influences) doing this very song. Dear Ike then pointed thy record out and the rest is history !!! Uncle's Ike-Bubba has always had good musical taste ... hence thy being one of his equally-baritoned influences. Now it maketh perfect sense !!! Uncle wouldst sayeth more, but he'll save it for the song of thine that has always resonated with him long before dear Ike led him here. Uncle now proceedeth unto "ALL IN THE GAME"!!!
I miss my/our beloved Janel soooo much.....my heart aches, even though I have the blessed hope of seeing my daughter who was murdered along with a beloved mother and daughter in 2017.💔💕💜😇
I thought that when I heard Toussaint Mc Call do this song that it could not be bettered..Brook takes it slightly different and makes the song his own..Amazing version !!
Tgis somg sings the truth about two people in love and the regret that comes after having let go of the other...............havent most been here before?
Very good performance but I still prefer Toussaint McCall's version. I think McCall had a simpler yet more touching rendering. I must admit, thought, that Benton's voice is one of the greatest. I wish we had more singers like these two nowadays.
hi,be careful with cds,often they are different from the original vinyl [they have been taken from a different recording session,and he is in a different mood!] this one sounds as the original.many other Benton"s I"ve listened to on utube are not as the vinyl,[not as soulful]but people don"t know!
Brooke Benton Still magnificent in 2022!!
Pray everyone is still here and healthy...🙏🏼

Dennis in a heartbeat and stay there
I sang this song when I was 10 years old. I always felt like I was an old soul...
This man knows how to make you feel raw emotion through a song
Brook Benton was a FANTASTIC singer, but no one can top Toussaint McCall's version of this hauntingly beautiful song.
I really like the song
All of his songs are very much inspirational
The backing singer (Cici Houston) undoubtedly took this song to another level ❤️🎧🎶
CiCi makes me believe I've heard an Angel's voice..💯💫
@@phindiwedlamini3781 she really had an angelic voice at her peak. Respect to the family

Thank you ! Ben searching to find the woman’s vocals on this ..absolutely beautiful
I cannot believe this got thumbs down! Love, love this song, by Brook Benton!
The best version of this song ever! That baritone is like a good wine going down a thirst throat. Thank you so very much for sharing 😊
Can't believe that this song still does this to me.afrer more than 40 years of knowing it. Great memories and powerful message
The best song by Brook Benton. It evokes memories and feelings that may have or not have existed. The backing vocalist is definitely an angel!!!

Greatest song of love songs, the world have produced.
Usual perfection from Benton,heard the vinyl album this comes from? An absolute soulful treat!
All the great artists are slowly leaving us one by one. All we have now are their songs and memories of yesterday.
2020 still as good as it was in the early 90s when I first heard it.
Thank you for posting this song...now I need to find the CD with this recording. Have my father's 45 of this! Love this song and this singer! RIP, Mr. Benton!
Classic of all time
My favorite song by Brook Benton.
just can't express how I feel when listening to this song may their souls rest in peace
This song by Mr Brook Benton takes me back to my love Curtis Branch who I met in 1975 andhe also is gone but never forgotten,just as Mr Benton.Thanks Brook for such a beautiful song and memory.RIP
Happy memories hurts big time -feeling emotional...
best singer of all time!
Got my vote for male singer. patsy Cline's my favorite female...
Wooooow! it reminds me of someone special, he is no more! RIP Seun.
Beautiful version of this song! And yes that's the great Cissy Houston singing the soprano background
Cissy Houston has quite an angelic range. This is Whitney Houston's tree from which the fruit fell!
This beautiful song takes me back to my youth
No one can sing this song like Brook Benton
I agree with you! No one!!
The backing singer sounds absolutely stunning.
Love it.
Must be Darlene Love and her crew.
did she Elvis' "are you lonesome tonight" also ? Looks the same
wareidav yes they do noe
@@duracelleke1 The backing singer here is Cissy Houston (Mother of Whitney Houston)… and funny you should ask because she is also the soprano for Elvis’ “Are you lonesome tonight”
I really do love all of his songs
The backing singer absolutely haunting.
Stunning

I love this song or remind of my dead husband I mis so much its been 18years o nothing takes the place of him
They don't write songs like these anymore.
I thought that when I heard Toussaint Mc Call do this song that it could not be bettered..Brook takes it slightly different and makes the song his own..Amazing version !!
This song remind me of my late uncles
I'll love you forever A. D.
he's yet to be touched
Excellent
"and oh my darling im so blue"....
All I can say is Dam! who is that woman in the background? haunting! sounds like cissy houston
Tgis somg sings the truth about two people in love and the regret that comes after having let go of the other...............havent most been here before?
Baby I love you! Nothing can take the place of you
Before I was born but loved the song anyway
"everyday i read your letters one by one"
❤❤
"oh raining on my window pane"
Why do happy memories hurt so bad?
Crosby Breakfast :n”hg77
So so true
Crosby Breakfast so true!
Because we're unable to capture time...

I wish it were me
Does anyone know who this background singer is.she is otherworldly
Sissy Houston
Wow
Still loving you babe,guess you know,Mss Sharayd
Don't know who's version I like the best. Al green, Toussaint mccall, or brook benton???
Yes ;)
Very good performance but I still prefer Toussaint McCall's version. I think McCall had a simpler yet more touching rendering. I must admit, thought, that Benton's voice is one of the greatest. I wish we had more singers like these two nowadays.
I know I still love you bby

Toussaint McCall wrote the tune, Timi Yuro does the BEST cover!!
I listened to Toussaint's version, he's not as smooth as Brook.
Not as smooth as I expected from Brook.....
