    Jonathan Butler exploded on the scene with the show Video Soul on BET featuring host Donnie Simpson. Donnie was a cool green eyed brother with that smooth deep voice. You just trusted his judgment on the video coming up. Well Jonathan was guitar vocalist extradonaire reminds of George Benson with that amazing vocalist singing at the top of his range.. How can you not enjoy this performance especially with George Duke and other fine musicians.. He’s going all out on this one for us to enjoy.. and the singalong absolutely brilliantly done .. Rest In Peace George Duke.. LB October 2021..

    Jonathan Butler is a singer-songwriter and guitarist who leads a life few can imagine. Born in South Africa under the shadow of apartheid and raised in poverty, Butler was the first non-white artist to be played on South African radio and appear on national television. Though his musical abilities would take him away from the world he grew up in, Jonathan would neither forget the plight of his fellow South Africans, nor the man that led them to freedom. It is for this reason Nelson Mandela credits Butler’s music as having inspired him during his imprisonment. In more ways than one, Jonathan Butler is representative of South Africa.
    - Jonathan’s story begins at a very young age when his father presented him with a homemade one-string guitar. Little did his father realize that he was giving way to a musical phenomenon. From then on, Jonathan’s musical gifts grew by leaps and bounds. In his early teens Butler won a local talent contest, affording him the opportunity to perform with a touring musical company throughout South Africa. On occasion he would perform at lavish concert halls for whites only, where he would not be allowed to use the bathroom, and the very next night he would perform in a dilapidated local township. Ultimately, his ticket to a new life was music...
    [Verse 1]
    Saw her across a crowded room
    And she looked so good
    Memories came rushing into my head, mmm
    There was a sparkle in her eyes
    Was it for me
    Or just my imagination running wild? Oh, yeah...
    [Pre-Chorus 1]
    I see the more things change
    The more they stay the same
    Thought I was past the pain
    But one thought of you (thought of you)
    And it's back again
    [Chorus]
    Sarah, Sarah
    What happened to you and I? Sarah...
    Sarah, Sarah
    How did the fire die? Sarah...
    [Verse 2]
    This time I said I would be strong
    Though emotions rush in
    Swore that I wouldn't fall apart, no way
    [Pre-Chorus 2]
    How could we watch our dreams
    Crumble into dust? Baby...
    There's so much more life has in store (in store)
    For the two of us
    [Chorus]
    Sarah, Sarah
    What happened to you and I? Sarah...
    (Sarah, Sarah)
    Oooh, how did the fire die? Sarah...
    Yeah, girl...
    [Bridge]
    I must admit, baby
    That love never died (love never died)
    'Cause deep in my heart, girl
    A bit of you still survived
    [Sax Solo]
    [Pre-Chorus 2]
    How could we watch our dreams
    Crumble into dust, girl (ooh)
    There's so much more life has in store (in store)
    For the two of us
    [Chorus]
    (Sarah, Sarah)
    Oooh, what happened to you and I? (Sarah)
    Tell me, tell me... tell me, baby!
    Sarah, Sarah
    How did the fire die, baby? (Sarah)
    [Fade out]
    Yeah, yeah
    I'm crying out for you
    Said I love you, baby
    I'm strong out on you, baby
    Girl, don't walk away
    Don't turn away
    I need you, honey

    LOVE Jonathan Butler!!! saw him at GA Tech's Ferst Center in 2001 and it was phenomenal! have his CDs w/ Tom Scott doing this song... and saw George Duke at Chastain Park Atlanta 2006.... true class in music !!! Butler's "Do You Love Me" is the bomb too !
