This is still one of the coolest songs that I have ever heard. The laid back beat, the lush background vocal, the way that the lead Bernard Jackson and Regina Belle put it down up front, this song is a masterpiece in it's own right. Like another commenter on this page said, music will never be this way again. Thankfully, we have the internet with sites like RUclips, Rhapsody, etc., that allows us to go back and listen to those wonderful songs of yesteryear. I am very thankful for that:)
This song was one of the biggest R&B hit singles of 1989 and you can tell by listening to it on CD or by seeing this video. The thing is, R&B music fans loved Surface from 1986 to 1990, it was them pop music lovers and non-R&B music fans who didn't understand or give Surface their due praise from 1986 to 1990. Whoever brought Surface's music in that 1986 to 1990 period or requested their songs on radio stations around the country in that period, THANK YOU💯%!!!
Ummm they had 2 top 5 singles on the pop charts. "The First Time" hit #1 on the pop chart & "Shower Me With Your Love" went top 5 and we're huge hits on the Adult Contemporary chart as well. a couple others hit the top 40. I think there were some pop fans who loved their songs too. Remember back then alot of people listened to other kinds of music on the low
@@MorrisB1971 I know they had those hits, shoot, I've listened backwards and forwards to Surface (1986), 2nd Wave (1988) and just finished 3 Deep (1990) a week ago. I studied the heck out of all three of those albums, including RIAA sales, music charts, and etc. What I was saying was that even though they had all those hit singles you mentioned and that I know about, it was those singles people mainly assigned to them. People outside of the R&B crowd didn't care about their non singles or non-hits or their full albums, they just wanted the hits. Go on RUclips and other social media platforms and see discussions about Surface's full albums or non singles, and you'll see that people will keep bringing up Shower Me with Your Love, Closer than Friends, Only You Can Make Me Happy, and The First Time. I think you misunderstood the point I was trying to make about the public in Surface's prime period, critics, and etc. not truly appreciating the musicianship of the group outside of their hits. David Conley was a stone-cold musician, especially with them keyboards, the flute and other instruments he used.
Without this type of music to fall back on ain't no telling what this world will be at right now because there is no MUSIC today that can take away the feeling I have for it
💫✨ @ernestkalunga1294, I need a thesaurus, 📕 📚 a dictionary, SOMEthing to describe the profound respect I have for your wonderful comment about your wife ; this may sound corny, but that was just plain old nice and it made my day! I wish You and your Wife many, many, many happy years in life together and in love with each other! 🎉💞 🫂
WOW!!!. talk about memories man, now this is music, if they only had radio stations that played more of this, i believe our kids would be all the better for it. reminds me of cruisin with the homies. just chillin. no drive bys. no gangster rap. just the good ol sugar hill gang. 😊
@@godfreybegumisa1560 I heard one had passed away, but I didn't know the other one went blind. Had sad! Love this group. This era of music has still some of the best music ever.
James Henderson .......yes the land-line phone...Lol.....fall asleep with the phone cord all tangled up. Lol....you hang up....no you hang up first.....let's just hang up at the same time....naw let's just talk until we get tired. ahhh the good old days.
James Henderson Right I was in my teenage in mid 80s used to be on the date with my boyfriend and on the phone all night about the hours on the top of hours until my daddy made me hang up the phone 😂😂😂
It's the lack of respect we have for ourselves as women so it becomes easy for a man to have the same lack of respect for us women. Back then women valued themselves and men did too 🤷 '75 baby so I've seen the drastic turnaround unfortunately

They were peaceful positive guys singing good chill music,nothing showy,no lies,nothing forceful to listeners just music to allow sip in one’s mind body and entire system and stay their. Gr8 stuff indeed

I was wonderin who the woman was her voice makes it sound even better ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I personally will stop you when lie. And you haven't lied.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought it was their female vocalist in the group Karen Copeland.
@@nikkifulton7598 I thought it was their female vocalist Karen Copeland. She sounds like a cross between Regina Belle and Anita Baker.
For sure it was golden
This song came out 35 years ago and it’s 2024 and it still sounds great today! This was and still is MUSIC!!!
Facts.
Facts
I was listening to this since earlier 90s
Yes this is the definition of smooth R&B
Absolutely & I miss them so much!!❤❤❤❤
Damn...I miss groups and music like this!!!
This is a lesser known hood classic right here.
One of the baddest jams of my Era.

Well said. Yep. We took it for granted. If only we knew.

I was wondering who the woman was singing vocal. I honestly thought it was Anita Baker
When people wrote good lyrics, no computer aided voices, real musicians playing and a soul that seems to have been lost in our music today
yeah especially the drums.
When music was GOOD. I sang this song to my son he was always in the hosp (he had a heart condition) he was my Everything. RIP my loving son. 💘
I'm so sorry for your loss I used to love this song to
I send my condolences 😭
Christ be with you and yours 🙏
Awwwww.. I'm so sorry to hear you lost your son.. I lost my oldest son in 2015 from a hole in his heart... May god keep blessing your son soul..
So sorry for your loss :(
