Curtis Stigers - I Wonder Why 

The 90s was THE era of the power ballad...and great sax solos....and great vocalists like this! What a great decade for music of all genres! I know nostalgia can play tricks on you and make you think things were better in hindsight than they really were but, man, I miss those times! For the music and entertainment at least..

My parents have been "apart" for almost 20 years and they both will still cry when this song is put on. Coming from a divorce home, it's nice to still see love.

They don't make music like this anymore.

i'm 14 years old and i found this song and i love it its sad this kind of music isn't populair anymore and people used to sing with their souls but you don't hear that allot anymore pretty sad

Real men sing from the heart like legend lad curtis stigers 👍👍👍👍👍

11 year old me remembers sitting in my garage, with a crappy little radio at 11 at night on a Friday. It was raining, mid fall. Leaves were starting to turn and fall, the warm air mixed with rain and leaves, blowing in the warm winds. And there's me, sitting in my garage, wondering to myself where life will take me. 40 year old me is sitting in my office, looking at a late fall day listening to this. Looking out the glass, thinking of 11 year old me. Full circle, my friends. This song really takes me back, so soul shockingly beautiful.

I don't understand why he wasn't 'bigger', what raw talent! Fabulous gut wrenching song!

auch nach 32 Jahren noch eines der schönsten Lieder...

Curtis Stigers. - I wonder why - He sings with such emotion in his voice. I really enjoy this song. Any saxophone music gets my attention. I’ll continue to enjoy listening to this song.

You can actually hear the pain in his voice in certain parts of the song . Just love Curtis ❤

One of the best songs ever made

20 years later and I still feel this in my soul

Why hasn't this gotten more views??? Such a beautiful song❤

One of the best of the 90's!

This guys sings from his soul, incredible talent.

Can't believe this dude was only 26 at the time, he had the voice of a seasoned bluesman!

Saw him 1993 live in Frankfurt. Love the complete Album

Curtis Stigers has PASSION and soul! It's not just in his voice, it's in his actions. He gives benefit concerts to this day . Innocence Project, a homeless shelter benefit, lots! His music has changed, but not his soul and passion!

One of my favourite songs ever.🎇

Such a shame love songs like this are not popular anymore. Real music R.I.P.

Happy 55th Birthday Curtis Stigers

Bloody good song

I love the sax. Love this song!!

You never get tired listening to these kinds of songs. Bedroom music right there.

What a voice!! I can listen to Curtis any time. Shame he has not got the recognition he deserves xx❤

I needed my son back from his toxic wife. Thank you ❤

I remember listening to this at a party back when it was released with my then new girlfriend, I heard it on the radio and the memories came flooding back....My then new girlfriend and I have been married 21 years now!!

Curtis, thank you so much for bringing this song to life. it was because of this song that I even became a saxophone player in the first place. I have so many memories of how much I love that time in my life. thank you Curtis for opening that door for me. I will always be forever grateful to you and this legendary song of yours

My dad used to hold me as a very little girl (2 or 3) and we'd dance to this. I miss him so terribly.

Curtis signature song back in the 90s ive still got this great cd all top tunes great voice

My days,.can i not go back to thewe wonderful times :))) love from England UK 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I have never seen such PASSION in rendering a song like this one - a most underrated song, for sure....

Happiest times EVER . We love you ,Curtis, feom England UK

This man had a voice so incredible I will never understand why he did have a 50 year career filled with hits.

Love this song. Timeless nourishment for the soul.

Why wasn't this a bigger hit? Why didn't Curtis Stigers soar? I was first attracted to that sax playing and then wow he can sing too! I remember hearing this on the radio and rushing to buy the CD. Still have it.

Wat a song brings bk bittersweet for me ,I'm 40now but my dad , passed away when I was8 ,this reminds me of him,great dad😢❤

I loved this album when it was released. Curtis has a great voice and plays a mean sax. It made me cry hearing it again today. Many thanks.🌞🙏🇬🇧🌞

2020 and still absolutely awesome ❤️ and still half way through 2021 😘

After all these years, I still listen to this memorable song over and over again without getting tired of it.

Classic song by Curtis

Saw the great man performing to an audience of a couple of hundred people in Kilkenny 2 nights ago . Mesmerising performance. If you get a chance don't hesitate to go . Brilliant artist and performance

Any real man like Curtis Stigers here?

The embodiment of Soul.

Oh my days, take me back :-)

His passion, his soul, it's all there! I've heard most of his songs and they all strike my heartstrings!

You may find yourself with tears in your eyes, right about the time you hear those words, but with no idea why. You know this came from Curtis' soul. Crushing and elevating at the same time, it's achingly beautiful. It's one of those songs that, if you wrote it and never another, could validate a career on its own. The saxophone, an instrument lacking in current music, is just the cherry on top.

He lives in Boise Idaho and was a member of a group called The Pop tops.The lead singer died from Aids. GREAT MEMORIES.

Pure class. Love from England UK 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I'm 28 and this is one of my all time favourite songs. Absolute banger, no matter how old you are

I wonder why songs like this are a product of the distant past ? Brilliant lyrics, stunning voice. Full of emotions and what a voice !!

OMG this tune. Amazing, soulful, could listen to this over and over and over.

Didn't appreciate how good he and his songs was at the time. Amazing voice great memories

great song, i always though curtis stigers is an underrated singer, great love song. this guy has a lot of soul in his voice.

Curtis I am still listening to this song thirty two years on and it still sounds the same. Absolutely brilliant❤

Senior in high school, 1991. So many memories. Can't believe it's been 24 years

Wow...this song gives me the chills!!! Beautiful!!!!

When music sent shivers down your spine.

These words touch my heart ❤❤❤

I too was a young woman when I heard your songs and every single one I can relate to, you need to make a comeback xxx

Huge in the UK. From my memory, you were massive in England UK 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

He just gets me, every time! Loved him then, love him now.❤️

Bought a cassette tape in 1992 that had this song with the lyrics on a sleeve, how cool it was!

Great song, great voice

Woow 90s memories.. the 80s and 90s was fantástic styles

What a tune love it

Still Listening in 2019 ENGLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 UK 🇬🇧 Reminiscing of singing along this as a young child not having a clue what it meant but knowing i liked it 😇 Singing was the best part of my childhood the rest was shit but im making up for it aged 35 🥰

Absolutely brilliant, nostalgia. Love from England UK

love is still hunger and this world is in pain ...go and spread love

one of the bests romantic song ever :)

Vivid Memory of driving in Van with my father in 1992 with this song on the radio, passing through Rathkeale and going home just the two if us silently listening, ages ago it seems but never forgotten

Happy Valentine's day, baby. My Barry angel!! I love you. Leeann xxxxx

I live in Boise, ID and thats where Curtis Stigers started out in a band called The Sneakers.....they used to play at a downtown club all the time. He's really talented!!!!

that sax though!…. love it so much!

When a song is This good, it always intrigues me that it could register even one thumbs down, let alone a few hundred, but they always do. I get that people have different tastes, but this is a timeless masterpiece, so how could anyone dislike it enough to give it a thumbs down. I can only think that the thumbs down come from either (a) genuine errors i.e. accidentally clicking it or clicking the wrong one (b) tone deaf individuals (c) trolls who like to be always negative or (d) those who may have been at least ok with the song but don't like the video per se.

I grown up in the 80s and still love curtis your right no one sings like this anymore shame

i like Curtis Stigers very much.I saw Curtis ine time in frankfurt Germany.after the show i met him backstage

Touches hearts every time I play it.

An artist who gets better with every year that passes: saw him play live at Ronnie Scotts a few years back: legend!

so manyy beautiful memories

Pure class

Just took me an hour of searching to find this, could remember tune but not words. So glad i found this again!

This is going to tell you how old I am. I heard this song, and I had to breakout my cassette of this song. I still love this song. Curtis is a very underrated singer.

Sheer class ! Greetings from England UK 🇬🇧

Curtis and Michael Bolton would sound great singing together I think they both have a beautiful voice x

Our local radio station used to play this song often, when I was a child. I'm glad that my parents were radio listeners. Sweetest memories

One of my absolute favourites.
