I am so blessed to say Bernard was my first producer, and musical mentor. He shared so much knowledge with me over the course of 2 years. Sadly, we lost touch for 12 years. Then yesterday out of the blue he called me and told me he would be playing at sandaga813 last night. Needless to say, my wife and I attended and were treated to one of the greatest nights of I can remember! He did Who do you love with the great Alicia Yarborough singing backup! What a night!!!
a lot of hip hop/rap culture is still influenced by the older days, even today. in fact a video that is 5 hours old brought me here this song was in the video, so I googled the lyrics till I found it on youtube.
Bernard Wright (November 16, 1963 - May 19, 2022) This was one of my favorite songs back in the 80's. Only wish we could go back once again for many reasons.Thanks to RUclips for allowing us to go back to those days of great music. We will all miss you brother. Hope some day we connect once again. RIP.
He lived with us for a while. We are all from queens. His wife left him and moved to Texas. All he talked about was getting back with her. He wore this song to get back with her. They did reunite and he moved to Texas. SIP my friend
I knew him from Music & Art High School in Harlem (1980).....He was young and always walked around with headphones on feeling the music....lol....A funny guy too....,Great song !!!
Oh my God, you said a mouthful, you said it, this track says it all, thank God, I lived it totally part of my life from the first note, thank you Bernard may you rest in peace God bless you! This track evokes the passion of that error, the love, the groove, the feeling, I would grab my girl and just dance to it, never ending love! For those who lived it, back in the days God bless you, we had it all, there's still time for those to listen to it, and get the groove, unfortunately the best was to live it, in our time we had it all, dancing in clubs, house parties,Great Times etc.! It was the sound of our time personified!
@@frankmorris5224 most likely because LL's song overshadowed it, however i do also remember hearing it that year and could never place my finger on who they were.
I was 5 years old when this song dropped and I still remember riding down the highway with my dad(R.I.P) twice a month to go see my mother in med school. The song would come on 3 or 4 times during the trip and to make my dad laugh I would starting bobbing my head really hard and waving hands around...and for whatever reason he would get a real kick out of seeing me do that when the song came on! Memories like that are etched in my mind! My whole reason for sharing that is that this song literally made a impact on my life and is directly attached to fun memories with my dad. Funny thing is that I was so young at the time I never knew who made the song...knew the words and the melody just never the artist. Fast forward some 30 plus years later I finally found Mr. Bernard Wright and now its a song I listen to weekly without fail! Thank you Mr. Wright you definitely left a mark in this world...and guess what???... I'm now playing this same song for my 2 sons(8 & 13) Amazing how music becomes a part of you. R.I.P Bernard Wright you changed this guys life sincerely!
Wow, what a touching story. Thank you for sharing it with us. I also knew the tune, but never knew who sung it and just recently discovered the artist. Sad to know he passed away so young. Too many good artist from our youth are gone already. But the music lives on forever. Nice to keep it alive like you do. Condolences and good luck to you. From Belgium 🇧🇪✌️🍀🌼🙏
What a awesome story God bless your family and the utmost respect for Dad raising a wholesome son. The internet is a better place because you shared it with us.
Its nice to hear a finished song. Most music now is too loop based or relying on samples too much, it can sound good but its not a song built from the ground up with meaningful lyrics that stand the test of time. Also there are key changes and bridges that doesn't happen much now.
@@sung6460 There are plenty of good artists in modern music, Gorrilaz is still a great band, but if you're looking for modern funk, Vulfpeck and Tame Impala are really good and are still making music.
May 20, 2022) In 1983, R&B radio was jamming to an earworm of a song by a rising young keyboardist with a flair for the groove. The song was “Who Do You Love” and the artist was 19 year old Bernard Wright. We are sad to inform SoulTrackers of the passing of Mr. Wright at age 58, reportedly in a tragic traffic accident in Dallas. Noted bandleader Billy "Spaceman" Patterson posted on social media today: On behalf of the family of Bernard Wright (Nard), We are saddened to announce that yesterday Bernard has been called home to the Most High. Many thanks for everyone's support, encouragement, and prayers for Nard throughout the years. Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. Our hearts are heavy and our faith is strong. To be absent from the body is to be present with The Lord! LOVE! Rest In Power, Nard. Wright was born in the Jamaica section of Queens, NYC, and was a child prodigy, playing with both Jamaica artist Tom Browne and Lenny White when he was a mid-teen. RIP🥺🥺🥺😥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 MAY LORD GIVE THE FAMILY STRENGTH IN THIS TIME.😓😓😓😓😓😓😓🙏🏾
This song was waaay ahead of its time. I was fortunate enough to meet Bernard in the early 90s, incredibly talented. I witnessed this Dude playing 3 keyboards at the same time, and he was going offfff. As a teenager it totally blew my mind. R. I. P Bernard.
Bernard Wright was born in the Jamaica section of, and was a child prodigy, playing with both Jamaica artist Tom Browne and Lenny White when he was a mid-teen. At 17, Wright signed with GRP Records and he soon released ‘Nard, a smash on the Jazz charts and an introduction of Wright’s funky jazz sounds to the R&B world.Not many people know he was the only son of legendary singer Roberta Flack Dies at 58 on May 20-2022.
Child prodigy means someone under around age ten who produces meaningful output or talent. What are some talented things he did that young.. Being Roberta Flacks son he most likely did since birth with good talent. Rip
This was my jam as a kid! I loved the song so much before I knew the artist! Rest in heaven Bernard ! Thankyou for the many gifts you've shared with the world.
@@mrflynn01 Knew him too and yes he is a musical genius, a deep thinker and a nice guy. Back in the day when Tom Browne did 'Jamaica Funk' Nard and a few of us hung out for musical purposes. He was way before his time like Mj was.
I was saddened to hear about the passing of Bernard. He was a great musician and he will be missed! My deepest condolences to his family and friends! Rest in Harmony,NARD!!!😇🎵🎼🎶
I was honored to meet Bernard Wright a couple of years ago.... He was working with a music producer that i know in dallas, tx..... It's funny when i see this video, cuz after all of that time, he still looks the same as he did on this video. He's a very cool brother, and very talented!!!!

I actually met him at the car wash on East Grand about 3 weeks before his passing. I knew the way he vibing the music he had a gift. Wow! He introduced himself as New York. Very polite and respectful gentleman. May he Rest In Peace. 😭😭😭
The female vocals in the chorus are some of the cutest ever. One of my favourite childhood memories. First time I've ever watched the video though. The girl is pretty hot
U better sing that song Bernard. I just wish we had today's technology back then. Yes lady on chorus voice is heavenly. Just takes me back to a more simple time. No corona virus, etc. God bless everyone we need it.
I absolutely love this song, it's the bomb and as people say it never gets old. I am 61 and don't look a day over 30 and I still love this song and the words on it will always to g true to what Bernard is saying.
Even though being born in the 90s being raised and growing up with my mother, grandmother and grandfather 90s 80s 70, and 60 music will always be my thing
It's all about what you expose them to. I don't do radio in my house they listen to what mommy listens to. My daughters are all under 8 and they're favs are all long gone
A TRUE R&B 80's CLASSIC RIGHT HERE/1985 to be exact. I was 17 at the time, Jamming to this hearing it heavy on the radio, like all the other 80's kids.
My kids go ballistic when I play this in the car. It's rocking brilliant. What's happened to music ehh !! What have we done to deserve the crap that is being played on our airwaves these days ?
Wow. Just heard this song today and wanted to listen again on you-tube. I had no idea he had passed away. What a loss. He Blessed us with some really cool sound. Rest in Eternal Peace, Brother Bernard Wright.
Who’s listening October 2024?
It'll be 50 years from now Everyone will still be listening. Music in the past will always be timeless.

Behind most good 90's hip hop songs ...are the originals from the 80's and 70's..

Charlie Erickson the song is actually called loungin by LL Cool J. If you look it up on RUclips pick the one that is lounging remix.
This one hits different. RIP Bernard. Thank you for being part of the soundtrack of my youth.

It's still here, we can go back and listen to it
I have been jamming this since 1985 until now! Good music never gets old!!!
Before I was born and guess what years later I love it, listening from the Kenyan coast

Of all the people who survived the 80s, he should have been one of them. 2020 and this is still great music!
The female vocals in the chorus are some of the cutest ever. One of my favourite childhood memories. First time I've ever watched the video though. The girl is pretty hot
Same for me

Gone are the good days...80s best beats!!
Yes!
the 80s were the best....good music then...kids today wouldn't enjoy the music we did then it had heart.....
Being a teen in the 80s was awesome. Great music, great variety, great vibes. We were blessed.
Even though being born in the 90s being raised and growing up with my mother, grandmother and grandfather 90s 80s 70, and 60 music will always be my thing
It's all about what you expose them to. I don't do radio in my house they listen to what mommy listens to. My daughters are all under 8 and they're favs are all long gone
I was in 6 grade this came out. my teacher use to play it on Friday's. 1hr Free time.
Jennifer Fields .....Free time was the bomb! Lol
Jennifer Fields man man she said "free time" lol that was definetly a blast from the past
+Ray Rodrigo yes lord, this kids don't no free time. now days
TRUE FACTS I REMEMBER THE DAYS LIKE YESTERDAY!!!!
A TRUE R&B 80's CLASSIC RIGHT HERE/1985 to be exact. I was 17 at the time, Jamming to this hearing it heavy on the radio, like all the other 80's kids.
this is when music was music. love. and it's something wrong with the 340 people who don't like this song.

I remember seeing this video as a kid, and thinking this guy is soft, but I know better now . He was in love, and he wanted the world to know.
I know right! This is what true love looks like!

Rest in peace Nard. You made Jamaica Queens that much cooler. Thank you.
Just read that we have lost the great Bernard Wright. Rest in peace to a talented brotha
Memories of being a young teenager, in NYC, watching Video Music Box, back when it was on channel 31.
RIP 'Nard.

Tressy ackman girl I am playing this song like it is 85, all over again
Trex Trexxie how old r u
My kids go ballistic when I play this in the car. It's rocking brilliant. What's happened to music ehh !! What have we done to deserve the crap that is being played on our airwaves these days ?
MrAFORCEONE They know great music when they hear it. 😉🙆🏾 They have great taste like us. I love that. Thank you for sharing this comment.❤️
That's what every generation says.
What have WE done? Well, we created the kids that created the kids that shat upon the radio airwaves. Now they’re completely saturated in dookey.
It's magical.
RIP Bernard Wright. Condolences to the family 🤗❤️ Thank you for the good music.
My deepest condolences
Wow. Just heard this song today and wanted to listen again on you-tube. I had no idea he had passed away. What a loss. He Blessed us with some really cool sound. Rest in Eternal Peace, Brother Bernard Wright.
