Al Jarreau - Never Explain Love

[@eddiegonzalez6916]

i remember sitting in a movie theater in philly in 1989 and listening to this song until the end of the credits because it just got me.

[@jamesmckissick9245]

Yea definitely a slammer

[@Lvl40PlusLegend]

Exactly

[@christianwickham6288]

The violence must stop

[@shanettaholmes833]

@eddie Gonzalez I feel you I was and still am drawn in RIP Mr Al Jureau

[@s.michaelreed6635]

One of the world’s most creative, insightful, and talented singers of all time. This track is evidence that Al Jarreau can capture your body, mind, and soul in a song. Much love & RIP, Al Jarreau!

[@beaudillion]

AL

[@StefanusUirab-hn1ur]

It s really true

[@LarryPonchoBrown]

One of Jarreau's best! This rare jewel is very hard to find these days. Remember listening to the end credits and being transported.....powerful.

[@deandravr]

The violins and cello get me every time at the end of the song.

[@Mr.Aqua215]

🙌👏

I played the violin and upright bass. The cello is a beautiful instrument.

[@jeromewilliams591]

Agreed

[@stephmeans8166]

YES!!!

[@cjsvoiceworks6008]

Same here - thanks to the AMAZING Clare Fischer Orchestra and the Linn Drum gives me some SERIOUS Prince vibes. Wonder if Prince has a cover version of this in one of his vaults at Paisley Park? R.I.P. Prince, Clare Fischer, Al, Ruby Dee, Ozzie, Bill Nunn, Robin Harris, Danny Aiello, and Bill Lee.

[@eliseolera627]

One of the best songs ending credits. Maybe the best. Great movie so under-rated... RIP Al. Luv you forever. RIP Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Robin Harris, Bill Nunn... Luv you all.

[@deandravr]

Eliseo Lera I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT SAY IT AGAIN!!!

[@gwise8095]

Glad to say I've seen Ms.Dee and Mr.Davis back in 99-00....

[@whyimarko]

sat in the theatre , thought this 'film' is groundbreaking...

[@mariannebakulic6143]

...bloody oath it is - what revelation, as never heard of it before seeing PART of the movie, as snuck in quite late into theatre. When closing credits came on, was about to leave, when this song came up, & had to say to find out who performed it (from music section, of credits), as truly never heard it before. Why is this Mr Jarreau not MORE well-known than he is/was, compared to many others who are feted as 'superstars'? Officially NOW in my personal top 20 songs of all-time!!!

[@kevt3770]

Danny Aiello and Paul Benjamin also.

[@carmenupshur-tucker5949]

R.I.P. Ruby Dee, Ossie Davis, Robin Harris, and Al Jarreau. Sadly missed, but thank you for sharing your gifts to the world.

[@DarleneBattle-n8w]

Oh yes it does.

[@DarleneBattle-n8w]

Oh yes it does.

[@isaacder3i121]

@@DarleneBattle-n8w yes its magical and bittersweet for me. There is nothing close to this song except for Seal's early albums maybe. But this song is very special, they don't make stuff like this anymore as cliche as that sounds.

[@paulb4519]

I can't profess to have been an avid follower of Al Jarreau's music over the years but since I first heard this song at the end credits of Do the Right Thing back in the early 90s it has been one of my favourite songs ever. R.I.P Al

[@russelladams7134]

Paul B True indeed. Do the Right Thing is a great movie. .

[@mikedavis217]

I've seen this movie over a hundred times (exaggeration, but you get what I mean) - never remembered this song (I believe I was walking out of the theater when the credits were rolling) or was quick to always change the station when watching it on TV, but I just finished watching it again tonight on HBO and actually listened as the credits rolled. What an absolutely amazing song - I had to wait for the credits to roll all the way through to find out who sang the song. I was totally surprised to see that it was Al Jarreau because I have listened to his music, but the list of songs I've listened to are nothing like this. What a great talent he was and I also hope that he rests in peace.

[@AIRV1983]

I cry every time I hear that ending, every single time

[@chrism8717]

Me too. It may be the most powerful end credits in cinema history. Cos its so sweet and sad and brave and it harmonizes and contrasts so strongly with the rest of the film.

Al Jarreau is one of my father and oldest brother favorite music artist. My father now suffers with dementia and my brother lost his battle with his kidneys. Whenever we play Al music they would light up ❤. This is a beautiful song that reminds me of both of them.

[@ucbx]

@clobbyhops, No. Spike's Dad did produce the soundtrack music for some of Spike's movies (like She's Gotta Have It) but he did not produce this particular song, "Never Explain Love." This song was written and produced by Raymond Jones a former musician in the group Chic.

It just hit me recently how powerful Do the Right Thing really is when it tackles race relations in Brooklyn between blacks and Italians especially that same summer of 1989 with Central Park 5 incident and Yousef Hawkins lynching in Bensonhurst Italian neighborhood.Also the Howard Beach incident in 1986 when another black man was killed while trying to run away from a small white mob in a white neighborhood.Awesome job Spike Lee.30 years later this movie still hits hard today
