One of the most beautiful songs ever written....and no one could ever sing it like Al jarreau.

[@GamingRevenant]

While it's one of his sadder songs (and quite possibly one of the most beautiful he has ever sung), it's in my opinion no coincidence that on the Jarreau album this song is followed by 'Love is Waiting', kind of as if he intentionally tries to make you aware of love's heartbreaking consequences when things go wrong, but no matter what happens, love is and will always be... waiting 😉

No way can I EVER have dry eyes after listening to this piece...

[@totalvicky]

I will leave you tenderly or bitterly but not like this ...

[@shrameet]

Safe to say, Lubbock was truly inspired when he penned this breathtaking piece. And I believe NOBODY could have interpreted it better than Al Jarreau. There is a fabulous instrumental version is on youtube. Check out the Harp / Bass rendition, by 2tone, which is quite beautiful.

aaah man too beautiful. singing this song but in 5 voices in an ensemble...its an amazing song, so emotional

[@TERRYHEIMAT-ARTLAB]

Not like this without a single tear

[@gmasunuh1]

This is one of my favorite Al Jarreau songs. It's haunting and a nice (if there's a nice) way to break up!

[@sarahannpace1609]

a stunning song sung by a musical genius

[@caroliamurri3872]

Splits my heart in pieces...

[@albroholm]

Like to see one of those American Idol finalists try this one.... Jarreau is a master vocalist.

jim, I dunno about intonation issues with AJ, he's using extensions and chordal subs here which sound fine to me. Too bad the string chart wasn't done on this concert since that orchestration was so good. Well, everybody has an off night. The album that this tune came from is still a gem in my view. He changed his corner of the music biz and turned a lot of heads. Great stuff.

Haunting and Beautiful!!!

[@totalvicky]

@Elson2Entertainment ... I just made the same comment about the last song I listened to ... la Theme de Sharon by Peobo Bryson - you'd probably like it :-) The art of nuance is something so many singers lack nowdays. They just scream ...

[@ukaykeys]

Just my favourite ballad, thanks for the post! I´ve just uploaded a piano solo version of this masterpiece - check it out :-)

[@MosTalent]

American Idol contestants are on a milk diet vocally.... Al Jarreau is Angus Beef!

[@jimmuscomp]

I love this tune, and his recording of it is stunning but this performance is a bit of a mess. I heard him recently and there were serious intonation issues - seems like it was happening in 1997 too. Not bad, just not as good as I expected. But, a beautiful song.
