Certainly the 70s and 80s. The 90s was aite, but the 70s/80s were on another level, regardless of the genre (R&B/Funk, Reggae, Rock, Jazz/Rock Fusion, etc.)
@@mauriceclark4305 But it wouldn't be the same without Alexander O'Neal's interpretation and vocalizations. It would be ruined/flattened with other voices.
Music like this just proves that the 20th Century was the BEST!!! Alexander is one of the best singers of that century. Thanks Alexander for sharing your talent with the world. Ol'Skool Music Lover 4ever!!! Thanks for posting this video of my favorite songs and singers.
Put this song on, pull your girl close and dance with her while you whisper softly in her ear...telling her how much you love her....telling her how good you're gonna love her down later....
"Love takes on new meaning..." This vocal recording took on more meaning than a "girl, I'm missing you" song. Alex has a strong, crisp, black male, voice... But on this song, man, it's just so freakin' pretty! I worked for MCA Records before they went completely insane and evil in the mid 80's. I worked in Black product. That's what they called it. And we all described it as "pretty", he did "If You Were Here Tonight", he did this vocal recording with such care. Something ethereal about it, like a plea to the heavens!
Just recently discovered a voice that sparked instant recollection, warmth, and joy. I absolutely love Alexander O'Neal. I came across his songs, specifically "Sunshine" after listening to New Edition tunes a few weeks ago late at night. I love this song, and "Sunshine" so damn much. Makes me appreciate life, and memories. They sure don't make tunes like this anymore.
I've known this song for ages but never knew the singer. ..heard it late one night after not hearing it for many years and now I listen to it every night ..fantastic right up there with Freddie Jackson
90s baby here & enjoying the great, beautiful sounds of Mr. Alexander O'Neal. Definitely an underrated artist. I wish this version was available on Spotify.
10 STARS !!! Every Man has felt like this about a woman he loves if she leaves or just not there when he needs her the most !!! SLOW DANCE, OR STEP TO THIS SONG , IT. IS TIMELESS !!!
When I listen to this I am taking back to the greatest days of my life. I was 18 when this came out and I still listen to it today. Long live the 80's, you shaped my life and the music shaped my memories.
The man said (This Beds Too Big For Me To Be In All Alone Shoot All Alone) Goooot Damn! Oh yeah this cut right here stays in heavy rotation in my old school slow Jamz collection. He had some hits.
It was 1983 i was coming home from visiting an army buddy in Hoboken N.j. I was at the toll booth in Ft Lee to cross the GW bridge driving my little BMW 2002, sunroof open and listening to WBLS when this came on. I look to my right and there's this church van, i see this beautiful young lady looking down at me, i smiled, she smiled and i flew across the bridge. All the way home to Boston i thought of her. Could she have been my true love Every time i hear this song it reminds of that encounter, though short ill always remember her.
This take me right back to 16 and being grown sneaking out to be with the boys I love this man's voice, he got me in a lot of trouble back in the days.LOL
Alexander O'Neal....1 of the Greats!!!
#1 song still bumpin in 2024
70's 80's 90's had the best music. Who agrees!?💿🎶📻🎵🎧
Douglas Rowlett so true, wish I could go back in time and relive the memories!
Certainly the 70s and 80s. The 90s was aite, but the 70s/80s were on another level, regardless of the genre (R&B/Funk, Reggae, Rock, Jazz/Rock Fusion, etc.)

Romantic song and beautiful message and artist! Keep that real love music alive!
This is Good music for my soul

I loved the majority of his songs.
Same here
This song saved my life
Takes me back to 1987 when the really was magical for me.
instrument and vocals put you right in the mood ,
miss his music🎧
Finally!!! I've searched for this song so long!. I used all the punch lines lol my God finding this is so satisfying..
2018 and I can't get this song out my head ..big ups to O'Neal
Very interesting song the words do not rhyme.
That is very hard to do in modern music, but it conveys the thoughts of the singer perfectly.
Roger San Gabriel some lines do rhyme.
You just a hating ass punk. Straight up. Your jealous because you cant sing
The cover, the album spinning and the tune! Simple and true...
P
90s baby here & enjoying the great, beautiful sounds of Mr. Alexander O'Neal. Definitely an underrated artist. I wish this version was available on Spotify.

This song is so crazy. I played it about 10 times already 😎
I'm single and this song makes me want to get in a relationship so we can argue and then make up in the rain with this song on. this song is scary
just leave Hotel Moscow out lmao
I have to know if five years later you’ve completed your fantasy
I'm 26 years old with an old soul
I'm 30. Can hardly bare today's music. Always listen to oldies.
I can dig it.
Jason Wilson now you’re 28
Same here
You’re 31 now lol
Can't believe this made it only to #17 on the charts. It's easily a top 10ner. I guess we had super high standards for music back then.
I could listen to this song over and over its a beautiful song
no matter how old this song is..It still sounds good...love it always
Ain't nothing like the 80's And 70's Music yes indeed this new music suck really bad smh 30 and older music right here😊😉💯💯💯💯
