Given it didnt even make the hot100, I say it is THE most underrated song ever. Her song (duet) from 1983, Baby Come to Me, hit #1. This song is better. By far.
I totally agree with u 500%. I always keep this song on my playlist. Her vocals were impeccable and flawless. Love the way the background vocals come in and the saxophone doesn’t drown out her heavenly voice.
Patti Austin nailed what has to be the ultimate lamentation song. To call it beautiful and haunting is a gross understatement. Gives me chills every time I hear it.
My favorite Patti Austin recording- truly moving- I remember seeing the video- Sadao is great too- This song was written by Diane Warren- perhaps her best, too Thanks for posting this
I've been looking for this song for years! I didn't know Patti Austin was the vocalist. Her beautiful singing and Mr. Watanabe's soulful sax make this a great, (yet sorrowful) love song.
When this song came out I was in NYC. I was struggling to get my life all together but unable to grasp it. This song was there to encourage me. Every time I hear this song, my emotion goes back to that time. I am sending a message to me, 30 years younger, to hold on for a rough ride but you are going to be ok.
Damn Straight! i thought i was the only person to hear that intricate sliding vocal! Patti is a true master! i was very blessed to meet this lady and she's as sweet as her voice! I will never forget that night!!!
Every time I hear Patti Austin sing, I miss the little Facebook heart emoticon. I would put a heart on each and every video of hers. :) She stole my heart.
I am a retired former Marine Corps Sniper. I always believed that I was master of my emotions., my heart. But this song so passionately sung by Patti moves my heart like nothing else. I spent so much time away from the girl I loved that I lost her to another man. And as Patti Austin so eloquently put it..., even a fool would still be there holding you, any other fool but me.
Semper Fi Andy. I attended the scout sniper school when I was a young Marine in Okinawa in 1979. I stayed in the Corps for 8 years and this song when it came out hit me hard as well as It was during a time when i lost the person i loved more than anything. I thought I was a badass but that event reduced me to a such pain and sadness. Even to hear it now is extremely hard. USMC 1*7/-86 0311/
After following Diane Warren's whole career, This ranks as one of my 5 favorite Diane Warren penned songs. This is where she is at her best... Great recording!
...i love this song looking for Sadao Watanabe songs brought me here, I also love Patti Austin what a awesome song! I hope they are both doing great in June 2021 it's worth it to find more of his playing really brilliant sax artist! Lovely song takes me back
I was just listening to a top 5 from March 24th, 1990 on the radio this morning. It reminded me of this song, which I was lucky to catch on a lite rock station here in the Phoenix area back then. I am lucky to have gotten this CD not too long afterwards. A great follow up to this song would be "Bodyguard" by the Bee Gees, also another lucky catch on the radio back then. By the way, the top 5 from March 24, 1990 was: 5. I Wish It Would Rain Down - Phil Collins 4. Roam - The B-52's 3. Escapade - Janet Jackson 2. Love WIl Lead You Back - Taylor Dayne 1. Black Velvet - Alannah Myles
I haven’t heard this in 30 years..It used to play on the soft rock channel all the time. What a good song! I hope that one day the man I love will realize what he could have had..,
I love Patti Austin and Sadao Watanabe : perfect combination to give us, “ any other fool “ 1988. Thank for posting. Peace and love brothers and sisters, of good faith 🤜🤛💪🌎🤝👍❤️👏🙌👐🤲🙏.
I simply love this song.I love singing along and relating the words to the relationships in my life..Sometimes I just freeze and tingle when I hear it on the radio..
This song didnt even make the hot 100? This song must have been dedicated to the music listeners and purchases of that time. Idiots! This song is solid gold and a great song, one of the best ever!!!
I bought this cd many years back even though at the time, I was unfamiliar with Sadao's playing. I was familiar with Diane Warren's compositions and that peaked my interest so I bought it. I've always loved this ballad and Patti's voice, clarity, power and diction was the perfect choice. To use the old maxim, they don't write songs like this any more...because nobody can.
I must agree! The female singers from the group, The Jets have beautiful voices, and beautiful personalities. I had the pleasure of being the Spanish teacher of the younger sister back in the 90s in Long Beach. She's a very talented and intelligent young lady! Hope all in life is well for Ansara! Mr. L
She always had such a pure and elegant voice. I remember this song as a kid. If I am not mistaken Patti Austin would lend her voice to a lot of television commercial songs. I remember her voice on M&M commercials
I had this on a jazz compilation cassette tape. I would KILL to find it again. Back when singers earned their chops instead of plasticky competition shows.
Any other fool would never walk away Even a fool would still be there, holding you I had it all, with you Lovely Just Lovely Time ran out Time does that Sometimes Cherish the moments They don't always last When you're with your love Time passes so fast Here I am Always, I am here And I am not confused I see things Crystal clear I smile because I can't do anything but We got to do and share and feel What some wait an entire Lifetime for We never counted losses Never kept score We knew that the love we had We shared was a choice Love never lost her voice We respected all that love is and could ever be The love we shared will supersede this life It is bigger than eternity That is where our love dwells Somewhat like a fairytale We entered this, not knowing Where life would lead us What heartbreak would teach us We caught all the blessings We learned all the lessons To live To love Is a gift We open it time and time Again I guess our love lasted will always last Because before we were ever lovers We were first and foremost Friends She smiles......
I love Patti Austin and Sadao Watanabe perfect combination, for “ any other fool “, 1989. Beautiful interpretation of a song. Thank you for posting . Peace and love brothers and sisters, of good faith 🤜🤛🙌👐👍🙏🤲🤝💪🌎👏❤️.
Great song. I was a senior in high school when this song came out. Brings back so many good memories. Saw Patti and Sadeo I think on the Today Show and fell in love the song instantly
only one explanation.God given talent, both mrs.austin and mister watanabe. Sadeo happens to be from the most beautiful country in the world by far its not even close......Japan.
Probably one of the most underrated songs and singers that has ever been. Patti Austin is amazing.
ABSOLUTELY.
Given it didnt even make the hot100, I say it is THE most underrated song ever. Her song (duet) from 1983, Baby Come to Me, hit #1. This song is better. By far.
Indeed. Its cruel all right.💐
I totally agree with u 500%. I always keep this song on my playlist. Her vocals were impeccable and flawless. Love the way the background vocals come in and the saxophone doesn’t drown out her heavenly voice.
I wish I could get it on Apple Music
Been listening to Patti and this wonderful song for YEARS ❤️ - I’m 71 years old
Patti Austin nailed what has to be the ultimate lamentation song. To call it beautiful and haunting is a gross understatement. Gives me chills every time I hear it.
Patti Austin's voice is one of the most underrated voices ever. She has range, power, and delivery. I love 4:00 - 4:11
She's amazing
I could listen to this for hours.
Me too..
Me too
Hey love
Me too
yeah,i too mate
Patti Austin has the most soothing, sensual, calming voice in these modern times..this song will always be alive for me..just love your music Patti...
You said it right. She has a very seductive and stunning voice. Don't forget the instrumentals they are terrific
My favorite Patti Austin recording- truly moving- I remember seeing the video- Sadao is great too-
This song was written by Diane Warren- perhaps her best, too
Thanks for posting this
I've been looking for this song for years! I didn't know Patti Austin was the vocalist. Her beautiful singing and Mr. Watanabe's soulful sax make this a great, (yet sorrowful) love song.
I didn't know the late great Jeff Porcaro was the drummer.
@@katemaloney4296 I thought it was Vanessa Williams that sung this song.
*Tuve que tararear la canción a Google porque lo unico que recordaba desde 1989 era su melodía*
Beautiful music. Can we ever go back to those days????? This song is just AMAZING artistry!!!
My heart truly wishes that we could all go back to that time 😢
1987-89 were truly great years
I heard this song a hundred times and it still brings out my emotions.
I know what u mean! Im so addicted to it. I think its her best, even better than baby come 2 me.
Tom Thomas it's hard for it not to.
rawn4203 I agree. I think it is the superior song
One of the top songs of all time
When this song came out I was in NYC. I was struggling to get my life all together but unable to grasp it. This song was there to encourage me. Every time I hear this song, my emotion goes back to that time. I am sending a message to me, 30 years younger, to hold on for a rough ride but you are going to be ok.
Good way of looking at things and being able to endure no matter how hard things seem.
Swiss puppy I hope life turned out the way you wanted for you
Damn Straight! i thought i was the only person to hear that intricate sliding vocal! Patti is a true master! i was very blessed to meet this lady and she's as sweet as her voice! I will never forget that night!!!

Jhgghhh
Jhgghhh
RIP Maestro....keep making beautiful music up there.
Been living on this song for over 30 years now. Always rejuvenates.
Beautiful song❤👍🙏
who listens to this song up to now?? the best!
Powerful song. Beautiful words. I still cry when ever I hear this song.
Best smooth jazz song of the eighties and today
Kevin Pritchard when music touch your soul
I love this woman. One of the greatest talents of our time and she doesn't always get the recognition she deserves.
Every time I hear Patti Austin sing, I miss the little Facebook heart emoticon. I would put a heart on each and every video of hers. :) She stole my heart.
I love this song since 1989

Anthony Cevallos OMG you made me cry my heart goes out to you. I know all too well what it's like to lose someone in your life. the LOVE of your life
Written by Diane Warren.

I've listened to her music for years, such a beautiful woman and a beautiful artist .
BEST JAZZ ARTIST. SADAO WATANABE. I LOVE ALL HIS MUSIC. WITH FEATURED ARTIST LIKE PATTI AUSTIN. ROBERTA FLACK THE BRST !!!!!!
I never realized I would love smooth jazz when I heard this as an 18 year old in 1989
It is natural...
This song didnt even make the hot 100? This song must have been dedicated to the music listeners and purchases of that time. Idiots! This song is solid gold and a great song, one of the best ever!!!
Ikr. It's just unfortunate it was released in the 80s. It most likely would, in any other decade.
Agreed!
I agree
Absolutely.
It wasn't real big on pop radio, no, but it was a *flamethrower* on Smooth Jazz; top 20 overall, if not higher.
I bought this cd many years back even though at the time, I was unfamiliar with Sadao's playing. I was familiar with Diane Warren's compositions and that peaked my interest so I bought it. I've always loved this ballad and Patti's voice, clarity, power and diction was the perfect choice. To use the old maxim, they don't write songs like this any more...because nobody can.
I love Patti Austin! And this song started it all for me!
Wow!!! I haven't heard this in years!!!! Still sounds so wonderful!!! Love you Patti!! : )
A song that reminds me of lost loves….. as they say you don't know what you've lost until its gone….
I remember when this came out - fall '89. Some great stuff on the radio back then.
Timeless , first heard ths song when i was10/11 yeras old . Still loving this song after 35years passed by ♥️
That smooth sexy voice always brings happiness.MUCH LOVE from a 40 yr fan Patti!!
Just love this song!
this song never fails to move my heart.
I must agree! The female singers from the group, The Jets have beautiful voices, and beautiful personalities. I had the pleasure of being the Spanish teacher of the younger sister back in the 90s in Long Beach. She's a very talented and intelligent young lady!
Hope all in life is well for Ansara!
Mr. L
this is one of those songs I can't do anything but listen to it
a powerful regret song.....love it..
Oh and do I regret
She always had such a pure and elegant voice. I remember this song as a kid. If I am not mistaken Patti Austin would lend her voice to a lot of television commercial songs. I remember her voice on M&M commercials
Haunting voice and music. Talking about real emotions..
I must admit this song makes me cry every time I hear it the song makes me think of a friend I lost a few yrs back thank you Ms Austin!!
I love this song...two of my favorite international jazz artists..Thanks!
Beauty! Makes you want to weep!!
I had this on a jazz compilation cassette tape. I would KILL to find it again. Back when singers earned their chops instead of plasticky competition shows.
Love this song. Omg it’s been years since I heard it and brings me back❤️
This is such a beautiful song and should have been recognized more!
I heard this song first time from cassette tape " mega hit "
still beautiful !
+rides talon I heard it from an album (Front Seat). Hard to say what song was the most beatiful..
rides talon that takes you a ways back
I have this CD and I belt it out while driving. I dont dare open my windows!!! Love it!!!!!
so this one popped into my head the other day...and lo and behold, RUclips has it..lol..LOVE her..
Real music!
What a great song and a truly awesome vocal. I've always though Patti Austin did not get her due as a singer. She's one of the best!
Any other fool would never walk away
Even a fool would still be there, holding you
I had it all, with you
Lovely
Just Lovely
Time ran out
Time does that
Sometimes
Cherish the moments
They don't always last
When you're with your love
Time passes so fast
Here I am
Always, I am here
And I am not confused
I see things
Crystal clear
I smile because
I can't do anything but
We got to do and share and feel
What some wait an entire
Lifetime for
We never counted losses
Never kept score
We knew that the love we had
We shared was a choice
Love never lost her voice
We respected all that love is and could ever be
The love we shared will supersede this life
It is bigger than eternity
That is where our love dwells
Somewhat like a fairytale
We entered this, not knowing
Where life would lead us
What heartbreak would teach us
We caught all the blessings
We learned all the lessons
To live
To love
Is a gift
We open it time and time
Again
I guess our love lasted will always last
Because before we were ever lovers
We were first and foremost
Friends
She smiles......
One of the best R&B songs of 1989. That was an amazing year in music.
Wow such a beautiful song,songed by an exceptional beatiful woman!
Two exceptional talents put their heads together and the results are awesome!
Watched Sadao Watanabe perform live in Kuala Lumpur in the late 80s. Still enjoy this song very much even after decades have passed.
emotional song. most underrated....
One of those songs you hum to deep in the night
Yes Hamad Saif Alshamsi any other fool but me

Great song. I was a senior in high school when this song came out. Brings back so many good memories. Saw Patti and Sadeo I think on the Today Show and fell in love the song instantly
god given talent right there by patti and sadao theres no other explanation.
Definitely my theme song. I was a fool to leave the love of my life. I had it all.
Beautifull song, SW is going to play in Kathmandu next week!!! A musician playing soothing music - balm for the soul, I salute you hi5!
This is such a GREAT song, it always makes me think of that special person I lost, I always shed a tear. Thank you Patti!!!!!

Some of the best music and the best years of my life!
Just A Beautiful song!
Love Patti Austin, and I love this song.
This the song that made me a Patti Austin fan
I can relate. 💔😢
The beginning of this song is absolutely beautiful...Here comes the chills...Lovely, just lovely...
only one explanation.God given talent, both mrs.austin and mister watanabe. Sadeo happens to be from the most beautiful country in the world by far its not even close......Japan.
