I was starting college @ The Ohio State University in 1988 when I first heard this kut! It was already a year old and still a hot record!! I like when he starts that "George Bensonish" scat singing and that trumpet DAMN!! Dude can FLOW!! Definitely A Classic Jam!! It Still Rocks 34 years later!!
Dude was so underrated...he is an awesome gospel singer now...amazes me how his strong south African accent never shows up when he sings...voice is still awesome today

This man is a legend, and this album from top to bottom is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Saw him in concert years ago, excellent show. This song when this came out in the late 80's, back in middle school for me, made me a fan for life!!👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿✊🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Jonathan Butler’s legacy will endure through the ages. He’s the complete package. Thank you Sir, for the beautiful music you’ve shared with us. Sending continued blessings to you and your family. 🙏🌺♥️

My dad has a vhs he recorded in the 80’s of some channel playing songs of the time, and it must’ve been about an hour or two long. For some reason, this is the song that i remember compared to every other song on that VHS. Glad i found it again.
In 2021 . And I still love this song 🎵 people be still caught up in web of lies. It's no wonder Mr. Butler sings gospel now.. he didn't know he was preaching then 🙌💯
I keep hearing that this song or he was underrated not in the 80s or 90: this man was everywhere! I was a 80s child and witness it. I loved hearing him on WNUA radio station back in the day! ❤❤❤ Smooth Jazz!

This upbeat and funky tune is a hidden gem, often overlooked but truly a masterpiece. It was one of my absolute favorites from the 80s. It's amazing how this song can bring out the true essence in you when you sing and groove to it with your significant other.
This is the first song I looked for when I learnt about you tube music! I had not had the chance listen to it since its release, (over 25 years had passed meanwhile) and it felt sooo good! Thanks you tube for saving such good music from oblivion....
Great song from a very understated artist, can't help thinking if he was American or British, the record company would have thrown the kitchen sink at promoting him and his music.

You got to love t.h.i.s guy! I Especially love his worship music that I was not even aware until just now and I was just thinking I know of a Jonathan Butler awesome skating Jazz Singer from a long time ago not even realizing that it's the same Jonathan Butler... We thank God for gifting your beautiful talent to share with the world! God bless you!
I herd this the first time in the 80s going down the 405 fwy on my way to Venice Beach on the radio station K- day drove straight to a record store and bought it. Played it and copied it to a cassette. I was in my 20s now its 2022 I'm 62 yrs old. Still remember all the words to every song. Sarah Sarah - Lies - Take good care of me - more then just friends - Love song - I use your love tonight - one more song
I remember the very first time I heard Beyonce"s love on top and I was like woooow Lies by Jonathan Butler then Beyonce"s voice came on and said DROP THE BEAT and again I was like Woooow woooow woooow and my mouth remained open till 4 modulations happened and I was floored,Beyonce was 5 years old when Jonathan recorded this song and it was the biggest song in 1987 when it came out and that's the year I started playing keys and explored with chords.
I guess his past songs were filled with so much pain that he chooses not to perform them live any more. Several times seeing him live, the last two he did no oldies, he still was good.
Ah, ah, yeah (Lies, lies) ooh, baby (lies) Well, well We took a vow to be ever true I lived up to mine, tell me, did you Someone saw you with your old lover Hand in hand, I don't understand You said it ended so long ago You had me believing while You were deceiving me with lies (lies) Wish I could have seen it in your eyes (Lies) but I never did (no, I never did) Baby, lies (lies) thought I read The message in your eyes (lies) But I was too caught up In your web of lies Someone calls at the strangest of times And I swear I hear a man's voice On the other side You give me the same old story It's just a friend That's who it is, girl I hate to say it but My faith in you is shaking Don't say you love me when It's my heart you're breaking With your lies (lies) wish I Could have seen it in your eyes (Lies) but I never did (no, I never did) Ooh, lies (lies) it took so long For me to realize (lies) But I was too caught up In your web of lies Wish I could have seen it in your eyes (Lies) but I never did, I never did Lies (lies) it took so long for me To realize (lies) but I was Too caught up in your web of lies Whoa, lies, girl You had me believing while You were deceiving me with lies I hate to say it but My faith in you is shaking Don't say you love me when It's my heart you're breaking With your lies, wish I could Have seen it in your eyes But I never did Baby, lies, it took So long for me to realize Oh, but I was too blind to see Oh, baby, with a white lie A wicked lie, oh, baby You cheated on me, you cheated on me With a white lie, with a wicked lie When I loved you, loved you You cheated on me, you cheated on me With a white lie, oh, with a wicked lie But I loved you, baby, loved you, baby Lies Oh, baby, with a white lie A wicked lie, oh, baby With a white lie A wicked lie, oh, baby
