Y'all realize that Howard is singing backgrounds, lead, ad libing...and comping for George and Stanley! He so smooth and seamless moving from his tenor voice to the falsetto...and back. Prince could do that, too :-)
These guys have a real history together. Along with Jeffrey Osborne they hung out when Howard was still fairly new in LA and showed him support and friendship. Those were the days.
There simply are no words... Love this beautiful song. I pray that Mr. Clarke and Mr. Howard are well. Mr. Duke, you are so very, very missed. Thank you for the beautiful music.
OMG, OMG LOVE THIS LIVE💋💃🏽🎤 VERSION OF the Recorded Masterpiece!!! This NEVER GETS Old.. RIP MasterBlaster Mr. Duke--We love you ALWAYS🙏🏽😍✨. Mr. Stanley BLAZING Genius on Guitar and Mr. Hewitt sensual/angelic vocals strumming my heart...-LOVE YOU GUYS, Thank you for sharing your GENIUS with US. Drop the mike💃🏽🎤🎤
It's a shame that the current generation haven't seen this video. Wow, this is real talent. Like gemqueen1 said, "no electronic wizardry or computerised special effects. just a real vocalist and muscians jammin" Very sweet indeed!
OMG!!! They just kill this!!! One of my favorite jams but I'd never heard this version before. Damn near brings tears to my eyes! Damn!!! Thanks for posting this masterpiece!!!
I wanted 2 be Howard when I was growing up. I was fascinated with his vocal range and ability to hit the highest notes with ease. Phenomenal vocalist one of the best ever. Rest in peace GD.
Checking out Howard's music & thought of this classic!! So depressed that so many great singers & musicians have passed on!! On that note, continue RIHP Mr. George Duke!! Thank God Howard & Stanley Clarke are still with us!! This horrible pandemic has taken so many people!! Lord, please have mercy on us!! Save, heal, deliver, help us & bless us plentifully!! 💘 🎶
This is the music I grew up on this right here💖❤️ Howard's voice is like fine wine, it gets better with time, then you add the Clark/Duke Project, damn, amazing!!! 💖❤️
REAL MUSIC R&B balladry.....acapella only with piano and guitar. REAL MUSICIANS AT WORK DOIN THEIR THANG...Sounds like this could be an excellent Live Quiet Storm remix. George Duke, Howard Hewitt and Stanley Clarke rocked this!!! Love y'all 🎙 🎹 🎸 #TalentedLegendsAlwaysRule
Can't Touch Old School Talent! No Autocorrect Here Brotha's And Sista's, Just Plain Old Vocal Skills! Howard Hewitt Is One Of The Greatest Unsung Hero's Of Old School Passionate R&B! The Legend Of Howard Hewitt Lives On!
I still say this is one of the most underrated songs Hewett has splendidly nailed. And to have in company the brilliant presence of the great Stanley Clarke as well as the equally extraordinary late George Duke puts the icing on the 🎂!
Its refreshing to see a singer, pianist and base guitar come together and create a beautiful melody that is easy to become a classic. Simple songs like this one stands in 'stark contrast' to most of today's songs, beats, lyrics and melodies. For once, I'd like to see more of today's urban artists perform on instruments. I (personally) believe many will benefit and produce better quality music that will be a stronger legacy for themselves. R.I.P. George Duke.
Everyone sounds good because everyone is talented. I've always loved Howard's voice, and musicians George Duke and Stanley Clarke have always been my favorites.
Howard is blowing his ass off on this shit...you go boy! You Make us ALL Proud Howard. And George What can I say about you that hasn't been said already. You are the MASTER! Stanley KING OF BASS without a flaw in sight. Thank you all for this beautiful piece of music.
Oh my god oh my god....this is the first time I came across a live video recording of this tune. Love the album tune so much. I miss George Duke! Howard Hewitt is one of the most phenomenal R&B vocalists ever existed! Thank you for uploading this clip. Such a stunning warm-hearted soulful acoustic live version. This collaboration is simply magic ❤️ and it makes me wanna cry. The great Mr Stanley Clarke......
George Duke and Stanley Clarke were an amazing duo. George Duke is so truly missed! RIP! I'm so glad he left us with beautiful music and awesome live recordings so we can still feel him here.
There Are About 2 Or 3 Versions Including A 12 Inch Version. This Is The Top Of Those Of Versions And To Do This Straight Is A Tribute To How Talented They Are. George We Miss You The Bay Boy Renouned Around The World. Rest In Peace George.
This song brings back great memories. Bought the album and later the CD (Time Exposure) because of this song. Having the chance to meet George Duke in person and speaking with him meant and still means a lot to me. All of his CDs are autographed by Big G. God brought home a great jazz band leader. You are missed.
Oh my ........ absolute quality ......... pure craftsmanship right there. Always reminds me of a fabulous time in life thanks to Robbie Vincent for championing this on the Sound of Sunday night back in 84 ........ absolutely in my personal top ten of all time
This video should be sent to every young "would be" musician. No autotune, no fake synthesizer. Just real instruments & true musical talent. This is the definition of "musicality"! This is how it's done! As an aside, I had the pleasure to meet Howard Hewitt @ my cousin's engagement party. My cousin's then fiance paid Howard to serenade her while he proposed... Also, R.I.P to the "Duke", & more life to Hewitt &Stanley Clarke!!!
