I was a white cat living in DC working with mostly black folks that listend to WHUR when this song played. It stopped me in my tracks. Bought Soul Catcher and wore it out.....my man u have a gift from God...music, voice and lyrics are spot on!
I haven't toured in a while. Been in the lab and don't have a manager at the moment, so doing it all (music, engineering, etc.) myself. Takes time but I'm working. Will definitely give a holler here for any updates. Peace.
Well, I bought this CD FOUR TIMES. Every-time I loaned it a friend or family member, I NEVER got it back. I finally saved it to my computer. Wonderful music. One for the permanent collection.
This song Olu is on my greatest ever list like with the greats such as Marvin, Ruffin, Al,Sam,all that fit but this one here is one of those love love songs...music these day lacks this very things...message and substance! All time favorite! HandsDown
I remember being a teenager when this came out and watching this on BET just about every day at one point. I still love this song; it's so beautiful and timeless. That's how you know it's good music when it's 21/22 years later and the song still takes you away like it did back then.
i used to always hunt for this song, people thought i was crazy! good song. back when the radio stations would play at least a LITTLE bit of good music on air. good times.
I remember listening/watching this video on BET in the 90' and instantly loving this song, now this was music to grow up. Thanks for the great music Olu,
There's a second album, "Beautiful Place", available at itunes, and at cdbaby. There's also a new acoustic album on the way that will also be available at those outlets. Thanks for the love!
I love this song I remember seeing this on BET back in 1999 on Video Vibrations. I miss BET old line up they played all kinds of soul music and soul music only.
I had this CD in the early 2000's and my niece "borrowed" it. I could never find it anywhere after that. I took a chance and searched it on youtube today and here it was. I am very happy right now. This is some dam good music right here.
For YEARS I've been trying to find this song; I just could not for the life of me recall the title of the song, nor the name of the artist! And, as I lay here sleepless in the middle of the night - from out of nowhere(!) - the chorus starts playing in my head... After ALL THESE YEARS!! Best sleepless night ever! :-) ❤️
So happy to have found this song/artist. I had this CD years ago and played it to death...Hate that it was stolen....The 90's had some good music and artist to come through. Some should have lasted longer.....Still a fan of Olu.
Heard the ending of this song as it was going off VH1 Soul and I am feelin this Man....all I heard was the chorus and I said i gotta hear this song....Thanks RUclips For allowing folk to post songs man love whoever posted this
Olu, I remember hearing this song in 1999 on MTV Base The Lick presented by Trevor Nelson - looked for the album everywhere but couldn't find it. On a trip to the US in 2000 searched high and low for it and finally found it. One of my cherished items this Album. Thanks for such a great song!
I've bought three CD's of the same album in the last 12 years. All of my daughter s know this song since they were little because I played all the time. Great harmony and lyrics!
I have this CD. My friend borrowed my car one day and the CD was in the player. She was like, "Who? Is? That?" and rushed out to buy the CD. Crossed my mind today and I had to come check it out. Timeless!
I LOVE this song....was introduced to Olu by someone I dated yrs ago & tonight as I was home chillin this video came on :) memories!!!! I so need this in my life right now!
Olu, I would like to thank you for the song. The line that stands out the most to me is "will I raise a child that is free from doubt or will I be arresting". It is deep and it has helped me to be more mindful of what I say and I am now a better parent and role model for others. Thank you.
All I can say is why isn't he selling out the staple center? I am ashamed to live in a place where talent of this scale goes improperly rewarded. Powerful!!
My parents bought and played the soul catcher album when it first came out, I was fairly young then, I'm 23 now, but to this day, your music brings back so many memories for me. It's one of those albums ill always love, and I can listen to from beginning to end. U are a true talent. I wish more people appreciated what u have
One of the best songs hands down. I first heard this song about four or five years ago and thought Michael McDonald sang this song. Just discovered it was someone else. Such a great song. The singing and music composition is beautiful. The message is humbling. Olu, my brother you got to bring more of this across the air waves. You are truly gifted.
I have this CD. My friend borrowed my car one day and the CD was in the player. She was like, "Who? Is? That?" and rushed out to buy the CD. Crossed my mind today and I had to come check it out. Timeless! 20 Likes!
It was 1999, but as long as you were listenin' it's all good:) I'm definitely comin' back. Working on a new album now. Thanks for the love. I'll be sendin' it right back at you in the form of a new album as soon as I can.
This song is so touching. Man, it's a sad thing that there are so many good musicians/artists that didn't make it, like Olu. Hearing this makes me say wow at what he was able to creat musically, and shake my head that the public let another good artist slide through it's fingers:(
Olu When I first heard this song and the video back in the day I had to buy your whole album. Still love your album...... you are a very talented artist , underrated and deep.
there should be a total of 20 million viewers instead of 19k. The song, the voice and the music will touch your heart n make you think, These are fucked up times.
man I have been looking for this song a long time. I just love this type of music makes me want to go out on long rides. this is a great soulful laid back song.
olu, your music has been getting me through the worst of times and the best of times for awhile now. I can't thank you enough. Positive vibes and energy from the Pacific Northwest. Keep doing you.
This album was amazing. I looked for Olu through the years waiting for him to blow, blow, blow up. When you find great message music (because I don't buy music that doesn't give good messages), you want that artist to stay feeding the world great stuff. Man, I just kept wishing the world would know his and love his music in greater masses. But God does some amazing things in people who walk with Him - maybe Olu is still to come!
Omg I saw this video getting ready for work one morning on vh1 soul and almost started crying I'm 22 and can relate so much to this song and video I just started crying when I watched this video it took me for ever to find this all I could remember was vh1 sub soul lol
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG IT TAKE ME TO A PLACE OF PEACE THAT MAKE'S ME WANT TO CRY.THIS SUMMER WAS MY FRIST TIME HEARING THIS SONG ON THE RADIO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR IT I LOVE YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU GRACE AND PEACE!!!!
I love this song! I remember the video from VH1 Soul...When it was a cable t.v. program not a cable t.v. channel. My homegirl and Michele and I used to wait for it everynight on our midnight shift!!!

We need more meaningful songs like this Olu
Thanks so much. In the lab now.
First time I saw this video was the summer 1999 on BET's Planet Groove #Memories

Soul Catcher is one of the best albums of 1999.

Man, this song is timeless! My highway music, my swing out music, and my chillin-n-da-library-wit-my-earbuds music.
Smooth. Pure music. I never get tired of hearing this song.
Brilliant. I've loved this song for so long, hoping for a revival of music like this! Come back Olu!
I had this CD in the early 2000's and my niece "borrowed" it. I could never find it anywhere after that. I took a chance and searched it on youtube today and here it was. I am very happy right now. This is some dam good music right here.

I love this song...used to listen to it on my headphones on the way to school on the city bus. Good music...spoke to certain time in my life.
So happy to have found this song/artist. I had this CD years ago and played it to death...Hate that it was stolen....The 90's had some good music and artist to come through. Some should have lasted longer.....Still a fan of Olu.
Love this song and its 90's feel and vibe. Please don't ever lose that feel Olu, its a commodity.
Still got the hunger and the love.
