Anthony Hamilton - Charlene (Official HD Video) 

My ex name is Charlene who passed away 6 yrs ago this month... It was hard for me to listen to this song let alone get through the song without crying but as I listen to it today my heart smiles and I remember the good times we had and the love we shared... Continue resting beautiful and I'll see you on the other side when it's our time to be together again ❤️🌹

Anthony Hamilton is one of the few surviving pure soul singers in popular music today. And he's got something of an old school vibe to him. He could have sung with The Temptations!

Let's hand Anthony Hamilton his flowers right now.

Who else loves the intro. The music, the drums and the rhythm is immaculate.

Still hits in 2024. #classic

Charlene please don’t go home, I need more music like this 😩😩

That voice. Pure magic. If this voice doesn’t speak to your soul, you don’t have one.

Who still listening in 2024👀

He is so underated this man is amazing

Darn near 18 years have passed, and 'Charlene' still sounds fresh. Respect to Anthony Hamilton for this gem of a Neo Soul ballad.

Miss the 90's and 2000's r&b

2023 and this still hits all the feels 🔥

I forgot about loving her. Who's still listening 2019? Also who agree that we need this kind of music back?

Charlene looks good. It's good to see a darker colored female featured in a video. I love you red bones, but I love my darker sisters too and would like to see them get more video shoot.

I don’t know who Charlene is but she broke my man’s down. I feel it 😰 I’m here for your brother 🙏🏽

Man he sings from his soul literally, I love your music Man

This song touches the heart of men who understand the struggles that women have to deal with through children and relationships. My heart goes out to the good women that are trying their best to keep their family together. Much love from L.A.

He put his soul into this song you can tell

Anthony Hamilton voice hits you in the chest every time. I got through some heavy times listening to this song. It’s unexplainable. Truly thank God for JD discovering him and LA Reid sealing the deal.

Anybody listening in 2020 ? My favorite song ever.

The soul shaking, heart felt feeling you get when you hear Charlene is unbelievable in 2022. It's as if this song came out yesterday

I can feel this shit.. Love real music like this.

Jan - 2024...still forever relevant...Jersey, we here for AH!!!

I have had too many charlene's in my life. Love is the most powerful thing on earth. TAKE IT FROM ME, if you love her, tell her a million times, never let her wait a minute, never let her feel alone when you're together. Nvr put work before ur heart. You cant let her wait, show her, tell her, Go tell her now, so many times ppl get so used to their partners love they forget just how CRUCIAL they are to their happiness.

2019 and he still the realest for this one👏🏽🎵😌

The feelings I get while listening to this song 😫🙆🏽

Charlene/ Lyrics Woke up this morning found a letter that she wrote She said she's tired that I'm always on the road To hard to swallow being alone She needs someone at night that she can hold She must have told me a thousand times before Silent cries I use to ignore God knows I love her Didn't mean to hurt her Baby I'll be Sitting here waiting on you to come home again I won't leave Promise I'll be here to the very end By your side To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life Come on home to me Charlene She knows I really love this old music thing Since I was a child it's been my dream I can support her treat her and spoil her You know buy her the finer things But I forgot about loving her Damn the money, diamonds and pearls What about the hard day she had with the baby All she need is for me to love her Baby I'll be Sitting here waiting on you to come home again I won't leave Promise I'll be here to the very end By your side To protect you and to love you and be with you for life Come on home to me Charlene Promise I can't live without her God knows I need her loving And it hurts so bad that's she gone I pray that she'll come back one day In my life Baby I'll be Sitting here waiting on you to come home again I won't leave Promise I'll be here to the very end By your side To protect you and to love you and be with you for life Come on home to me Charlene Oh oh oh Sometimes I cry Charlene if you're listening would you call on me Because my heart is aching

"I won't leave " 😫😫 Lawd if a guy sings this to meeeee ❤🔐

My brother voice is gold. His pen game is mean the lyrics to this hits the heart

2020 am still here loving this man and his music

Saw him in concert last night. AMAZING

His songs always made you feel like he was in love and married to his woman and didn’t play house, they also made you feel like the relationship was real and they added faith in God to their relationship. Love love love your music.

I’m convinced Anthony Hamilton was born in a pot of collard greens.

This song has lots of meaning! But it also reminds me of when my momma was still here with me. I love her and miss her so much , it’s been a year since Jesus called her home.

“By your side to protect and to love you and to be with you for life”

This is my dad’s favorite song. Every time I listen to it, I think of him. I love you so much dad! 🕊✨

Every time I hear a Anthony Hamilton song, I feel like cooking a big ole pot of collard greens and candy yams with corn bread. Dammit Charlene

Charlean it’s been 13 year come back already 😢

Still Hits. My mom stayed playing soulful music. This left a mark on me ☀️❤️‍🔥🥰

This song really hits you different. When you're single. And that best other half of you is not there💔😢😞. Really hurts to this day

This brother is in possession of the last TRUE VOICE of R & B and Soul Music.

This is only for people with a soul love it

My GOD, THIS IS A POWERFUL SONG. WOW!

First time I heard Anthony Hamilton sing on Dave Chappelle show I was enlightened, I am forever a fan.

I’mma ALWAYS love this song! And Anthony can’t do no wrong when it comes to music. He ALWAYS understands the assignment and ALWAYS gets it right! ❤

This song shows so much admiration and great appreciation for our strong black beautiful african nubian women who god put on this earth to bless us men.

I was 12 years old jamming to this, always come back to it every couple years. Timeless piece!

Don't let her get away. If you truly love her you won't simply let her walk away period!!! Fight for your queen

Charlene W this is for you. Rest in Paradise my friend. I will never forget you!

The mistakes you make when u know better are the ones that hurt the most.

Please go home Charlene...got me crying and idk you or him lol

Me singing to myself. I'm Charlene. Trying to get ME BACK. It's a struggle but a necessary priority. 😔

I never thought I'd be listening to this in 2023 and applying it to my life. This is to my Charlene. My love...come home to us.

This man is speaking to my soul... ANTHONY PLEASE GIVE US MORE MUSIC.. YOUR PEOPLE NEED YOU... REALLY WE DO..

My granny’s name was Charlene everyone still listens to this song in memory of her💙 she died back in 2011 I was only in 2nd Grade, it hits even more when I listen now☹️

I’m so glad he found Charlene after 18 years. 💕
