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!!!

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.!

    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!

      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.

    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.😓😓😓😓😓😓😓🙏🏾

    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.

    Memories of being a young teenager, in NYC, watching Video Music Box, back when it was on channel 31.
    RIP 'Nard.

    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 ?

      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.

    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.
