Heard a female playing this on her fb story, and it took me back to the days when Love was really real and it meant something. Had to come here to listen to the whole song and feel the Love again that I have had in Yearsssss off this song. 2024!
This was my husband and I wedding song . I listen to it everyday. I sadly lost my husband to cancer 3 weeks ago it brings me comfort just listen to our song on what was the happiest day of our lives.
Right it's still pretty but the thing is I thought it was tevin Campbell all this time but it's still pretty though and like I thought the song I heard was Kool and the gang song but it was midnight star that song it
I think Darnell and Stevie both have nice tones but In my opinion neither one of them are amazingly vocalist. If you have a nice tone you can sing a Stevie song because his songs aren't hard to sing. And Darnell always sounds bad when he sings live.
People talk about how cheap the music video is but they fail to find that it is an abstract with a romantic, sweet and innocent vibe that match the song perfectly.
I can easily sing this to God...His love for me is unfailing and knocks me off of my feet to love a sinner like me!! One of my favorite songs in or not in a relationship , he did this song 110% justice!
This homie sings this Stevie classic straight from the heart, theirs some who just sing, but when it comes from the soul, nothing can overtake its power, Donell tore it up ! 😎👍👍✌
....the opening line..... If I here it, even karaoke ...I just get so happy and think of the days walking the man made lake alone haha, it had potential that park ....I would actually think of this Beautiful song ....not many parks in Calif rent the kind of boats you can peddle (or paddle boats) ....I moved far away ..but some moments of solitude there stay with me and I miss my loved one there in So Calif ...
i’m only 22 but i’ve been in love with R&B since i was a little kid. me and my mom would listen to it and just talk about life and all the times her and my dad would do the same. the 30th of July was 2 years since she passed and R&B gives me the peace i need. i love you momma i knowyou listening with me ❤️ hope you’re getting your rest your body couldn’t get that your soul deserved 🫶🏽😇☮️
I felt that . I listen to this type of music all the time .. makes me feel closer to my mom as well … hope they are both getting the rest they couldn’t get her on earth 😇
I'm so sorry for your loss. There is nothing like a mother's love. I know how hard it is to lose a mother at young age. I pray you have the support of your father, friends and family 🤍.
This is back when R&B was from the soul and you felt what they were singing about. Back when videos had a meaning and purpose to the song. I want that back, to sit and fall asleep to the quiet storm, wait for your video to play on The Box. lmao
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, can take Donell Jones’ place! He’s my absolute favorite artist of all time! I have all of his albums and I love him forever ❤️
HalleluYah! I’m so grateful to the Most High God for delivering me from illness, homelessness, a broken heart, depression, bitterness, a racist mindset, a closed womb, loneliness, and the Jezebel spirit. He will deliver you too!!!! He loves you and will forgive you for your past, talk to Him, He’s waiting for you! ❤
I agree he was one of the most underrated of the 90's hitmakers. I just remembered his music and thanks to RUclips I'm now listening his jams. The 90's produced the greatest r&b of all time.
This song always brings me back to high school days. I remember getting off the bus and walking home from the bus stop. On the way home there was this guy who, for a while, was trying to get my attention. I ignored him :). But one day, while walking pass his house, I heard this song being blasted from his house. He then ran out from his house towards me and told me this song was dedicated to me. I blushed. He proceeded to walk me home for the first time. As a teenager then, it was one of the sweetest things a guy had ever done for me.
I used to walk on campus to this song while it was sunny outside and watch the people around me smiling. It was such a beautiful moment in time where we didn’t have to wear masks. I miss seeing people smile in public 😩
Teddy Swims is doing a different version of this BUT I would suggest that Mr. Jones has a lot to say too. Both renditions are excellent in special ways. I'm nearly 57 and have lived a life:) King Wonder was my father's age before I was even born.
Gotta disagree with you on this song. Tevin Campbell sings it much better. Donell gets off key on that "something about your love that makes me weak and knocks me off my feet. It's not flowing in tune like it should.
The way this world going, I thank God I was raised on music that speaks to the heart rather than the body, love is the only thing left that will keep you grounded, never give up on love or how to be loved respectfully, if you dont stand for something you will fall for anything, Donell Jones* still 2021 plus ❤
One thing I like about his videos is that the women in his videos are Brown skinned to dark skin. Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking light skin women biracial etc but most black videos now days have women of lighter colors. Its good to see a black man out there who considers women of darker shade someone special and beautiful
Oh wow..this is the song that led me to my love affair with him...his voice, his style, his music, his looks and that smile and dimples..Everytime I see his early works now... I fall right back in love with him like I'm in my 20s again....lol. Still enjoy me some Donnell..he never got the credit that he was due.
Donnell Jones vocals reminds me of the late Tony Thompson of Hi-Five, I think people who really know R&B music and these two artist will agree. These guys vocals are truly amazing when they sing, their voices are the music itself. Tony Thompson also had dimples, lol
Heard a female playing this on her fb story, and it took me back to the days when Love was really real and it meant something. Had to come here to listen to the whole song and feel the Love again that I have had in Yearsssss off this song. 2024!
Same😊
Listening in 2024 and will continue ❤
2024 STILL LISTENING, SOME THINGS NEVER GET OLD
NEVER.......
can anyone agree? wasnt he so underrated?
R Kelly shut his career down. The label wouldnt promote his albums. They gave him no marketing
And fiiiiine😊
@@sethperdue8251 really??? Wow that explains a lot.
@@Claudia-jz9bw yes that absolutely true. R Kelly was very instrumental in destroying his and Joes career.
Listening in 2025, good quality music never gets old
Find your soul mate people, stop wasting time on people that don't deserve your energy ❤
Amen
Amen 🙏🏽
Fo real
One of the best remakes.
This was my husband and I wedding song . I listen to it everyday. I sadly lost my husband to cancer 3 weeks ago it brings me comfort just listen to our song on what was the happiest day of our lives.
So sorry for your loss 🕊️
Sorry 4 your loss ❤
So sorry for you loss. Prayers.
Sending my sympathies and prayers. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am so sorry for your loss
Who’s still listening to this song in 2024❤❤🎶🎶
Definitely
Undoubtedly
Had to find it... hanging with my honey in the bed bed at 5pm central standard time...🥰
Me ❤
I'm here❤
Never heard of this man til today. A man drove up at the store where I work listening to this. I should've said thanks
Right it's still pretty but the thing is I thought it was tevin Campbell all this time but it's still pretty though and like I thought the song I heard was Kool and the gang song but it was midnight star that song it
They sound sooo much alike all those guys sound like each other
Luther, Tevin and Donell have sung that song and released it on the same year
Where I wanna be is a Donnell Jones album that is 25 years old and STILL one of the best rnb album in history. Listen to it- you won't regret it
Rāpare 11 o Paengawhawha 2024!! Reka te waiata nei🎉❤
It’s 2024! And Donell Jones and his songs like this one still touches anyone who ever had the opportunity to be in love before.
So, remember when i said this will be my wedding song one day?
Im engaged.
It's almost time 🥰
🥰🥰 Congratulations!!
Congrats🎉
Congratulations 🎊
Congratulations ❤
Awwwww congratulations…I luv this song !
When Black men uplifted Black women, we really need to go back in time

I wish i was back in those time, my old soul will forever be single, all this love and no one to give it to
agreed
@@mskissmyazzify I pray to Black Jesus. Black men come to their senses
We still do...just calling them side chicks and hoes is what they like now😂
All of us females with a heart and soul love this song. Deep down inside the words feel so good. Thumbs up ladies, if I'm correct.
Very correct

you should listen to teddy swims cover of it
@@jakemiles1427 lie again
@@danyosan808 Appreciate that. Never heard of him before your comment, listened to him. He's great.
Still here for this in 2024
People talk about how cheap the music video is but they fail to find that it is an abstract with a romantic, sweet and innocent vibe that match the song perfectly.
And at the time it was shot, it was still ok
Nope I dont see it. No excuse for this video. Could have done better, cheaper.
Exactly exactly exactly. Being in love is campy the way love songs put it and this video is that.
Its nothing wrong with this music video
Honestly, I like it. It fits in a way.
Who’s Still Listening To This In 2024👀🔥? If ONLY Music Was Still Like This 🫠✨

Best Stevie Wonder remakes in no particular order
Ribbon in the sky-intro
Lately-Jodeci
Knocks me off my feet-Donell Jones
Fiya!!
AGREED!!
Yessir flip lately and ribbon tho
Those 3 definitely complete the top 4, but number 1 for me is K-Ci Hailey - If you think you lonely now (wait until tonight )

I still listen to this song I love this song.
I'm just going to say it. This is better than the Luther and Tevin covers. Way better.

My Sissy loved some Donell.... Its funny how songs can bring a loved one back that yous miss dearly in a moment.
Still one of my favorites! This is what love, relationships, and marriages stood on...foundation of speaking and listening to the heart!

See this is another level of music when love was real.
When you take on a King, you have something prove.
And I mean that in a GOOD way.
You are awesome.
Keep singing.
Great voice. Soothing music. Easy on the eyes. Very talented man.
One thing I like about his videos is that the women in his videos are Brown skinned to dark skin. Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking light skin women biracial etc but most black videos now days have women of lighter colors. Its good to see a black man out there who considers women of darker shade someone special and beautiful
so true I agree

I'm light-skinned and I do agree. I was just talking to my sister about this.
+Katelyn Bryant Hey thanks for agreeing with me and understanding.
+CHANNYTUBE I agree
When I was a kid, I loved the hell out of this song, and now; I've finally got the name of it and bought it.
With a good background singer kenneth B Edmond at the end Donell Jones did this song amazing job thanks
Oh wow..this is the song that led me to my love affair with him...his voice, his style, his music, his looks and that smile and dimples..Everytime I see his early works now... I fall right back in love with him like I'm in my 20s again....lol. Still enjoy me some Donnell..he never got the credit that he was due.
He did this song such justice! The best cover of it in my opinion !!!
I never thought anyone would be Stevie's version this is amazing it truly is amazing
I got to attend his concert last year and man did he perform his ASS off 💯. If you haven't been, GO ❤
Who else is listening to this song in 2024

You know Stevie have to give this a thumbs up that's how this sound so good
I will lesson to Donnell Jones music until until ❤❤❤
Who else still listening to wholesome classics like these in 2022... 🥰
Donnell Jones vocals reminds me of the late Tony Thompson of Hi-Five, I think people who really know R&B music and these two artist will agree. These guys vocals are truly amazing when they sing, their voices are the music itself. Tony Thompson also had dimples, lol
agreed
Kenneth Rip Tony Thompson
Kenneth absolutely!!!! My god both men are/were amazing!!
