Brenda Russell ~ Think It Over (1979) R&B Slow Jam

[@necipersozlu735]

Her voice always taking me away... 🩷

[@shellecapos8574]

This song reminds me of a love affair that lasted off & on for decades.

[@Fandechichounette]

Why can't we click the thumbs up 50 times? ❤

[@CaapriceTube1]

CLASSIC. So underrated, she's a legend.

[@071oakland]

Nobody can perform this song like the legendary Brenda Russell.🎼🎵🎤🌹👍🏽

[@sandraholland8127]

Yes. Indeed❤

[@mandyjohnson1109]

The one song she never does live and it is her best..Nonethless Brenda Russell is one of the best composers, songwriters and vocalists ever...I waited four decades to see her perform and she was utterly fabulous!

[@leonardcharles59]

She has a really nice voice. Its distinctive and clear. I remember seeing her many, many years ago and her looks were quite impressive too!

[@evelynprice2753]

I discovered this song 10/09/22 and I absolutely love it! ❤️🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💯👍🏾

[@miss-astronomikal-mcmxcvii]

Discovered this song March 2024. Love it here too! :)

[@kingvincent9835]

she is a cold beast w her pen and melodies

[@Latz51]

Most intellectually beautiful album of the '70s.

[@felenti4956]

only 9 songs on this album but its the first album i can call perfect

[@TVchannel02]

I couldn't agree more. This is one of the most slept-on albums in the last 40 years. It's been covered, sample, but Brenda has never the recognition she deserved as a master songwriter

[@josmith8233]

She has it, but far too low key and with too few awards. Perhaps when the colorpurpke movie comes out, she will get the deserved accolades.

[@dorcegwattsjr5002]

One Of My Favorites From Her,I Had This Album On Wax When It Came Out.....Classic Audio Jewels.......Yes Indeed....

[@fryelee11]

Dorce G Watts Jr Me Too!

[@blackxtrememstr]

+fryelee11 Brenda Russell's version has far more dimension and depth. It also create's this haunting nature about it, that sticks with you, long after the song is over with. The song is far more suited for Brenda's voice.

[@dawn409]

Agree!Agree!Agree! I used to blast this album back in the day! Marantz speakers on blast!!! #GoodtimesGoodtimes audio gems indeed!

[@Efraindenver]

A classic cut, that has been so smooth all this time🙏⌚👍

[@ntlekt9183]

👊@@dawn409👍for ANYTHING Marantz!

[@lauralindsey1331]

Such a hauntingly beautiful melody…her voice is so enchanting…I love this song🌹

[@JahimaHanifEL]

This song give me butterflies.... The strings arrangement are just so lovely... The whole melody and vocal arrangements just so solid...

[@GodfatherXXI]

One of the top 5 albums of all time.

[@WerJim]

At 4:45, her drawn-out vocal tone gives me butterflies. And yes the song is beautifully arranged.

[@rhymeandreasoning]

those instruments are so amazing and psychedelically hypnotizing

[@Lawrence_619]

reminds me of a lover...just an incredibly produced album.

[@terrymartin3272]

Life reflection type of song.Young growing and making decisions.Crossroads in life.Every young person should listen to this.Powerful song.Just beautiful.

[@cliftonhall4063]

this is the one song you'll be hard- pressed to find in any radio format. pure genius on par with the Beatles" one day in the life". in my humble opinion.

[@MrGLites]

This entire album - from beginning to end - is one of the greatest r&b albums ever made. Truly.

[@noneotherthannigel2823]

Actually this song and a few from this Album is a constant mainstay in Black Urban Radio's "Quiet Storm" segments.

[@kimbarnes-rodriguez3502]

Beautiful BRENDA, Your vocals are LADY RENAISSANCE...GOD GRACED YOUR ANGEL VOCALS TO GO UP AND DOWN THE PIANO🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎶🌟🌟🌟🙏🏽

[@walterblair6393]

I have studied art, studied law, won many cases between the 70s thru 2000s, the US Sup.Ct. even quoted me, and I have written music and books as I traveled the world. But I have never heard music greater that the songs of Brenda Russell. Would someone please organize a show for her in Washington DC before Christmas 2107. Walter Blair CEO [e-mail]. And of course let me know. If she is performing in the East Coast any time soon, please let me know. Brenda Russell keep singing.

[@sjspainbey4542]

OMG, I was just a baby when this came out twenty four and I loved it the first time I heard it, little did I know then what life had in store for me, Love, Life, Death, you name it, but it's still good to hear, just the memories alone are worth it.

[@milesfolley6840]

The groove! This is like if Broadway and Funk and R&B came together on a stage in New York to finally get down to the issue at hand.

[@courtneytownsel4268]

I remember Cheryl Ladd singing this song. Two years later Brenda Russell does it. Without any knowledge, some how I figured Brenda wrote this song. Cheryl Ladd did this song justice. But Brenda Russell smoked it.

[@Trikee39]

Do you mean Cheryl Lynn?

[@shahkobat9481]

The one in Charlie's Angels

[@deepnation10009]

Brenda Russell was married to John Russell who later married Cheryl Ladd.

[@deepnation10009]

@Music4TheSoul Haha. That was a slip. I meant Brian. I was watching One Life to Live clips with actress Lois Kibbee the same day I watched this. Her characters son in law was named John Russell.

[@russellhartwell5404]

,, ,, "&," BRIAN, ,,?,,?,, ,,

[@starirvin1078]

Love this song since i was a kid her music period

[@frankparker4151]

Absolutely gorgeous song!

[@TheEdg77]

Simply mesmerizing track from Brenda Russell! #unsunggenius

[@MychaeltoddRH]

I was introduced to Brenda’s music back in 1979, I was living in Hollywood California, a young homeless kid name Paco from New York ask could I play an album for him- I fell in love with every song on that album. Where are you Paco....

[@dawn409]

That's a beautiful story🙂 I hope you and Paco are blissed(not B[e]Lessed) and doing well😌I loved and played this album over and over again too..

[@jabaribryant104]

That breakdown 😢 gave me the chills doo doo doo doo oh no think it over 🥺🌹🙏😔🥶

[@laquintanix]

I was 6 when this came out..and i am soooo BLESSED be included in this TIME AND SPACE of REAL MUSIC!!!

[@yellowflowers8586]

love her music

[@kncox81]

Love the harmonica solo.

[@cynthiacarrlee2942]

I was here then, and I'm still here for my girl in 2023!

[@penagon24]

Does anyone think this song is about being in love with an older man who thinks Brenda is too young for him? "Ageless minds attract each other/Learn from love and not from numbers". That line always made me think. I love this joint...

[@cliftonhall9548]

penagon24 - yeah.

[@angelinalatimore6922]

I'll alwys come back. Brave nation!

[@erickaford5828]

Love her

[@liesdamnliesandstatsweird1934]

This original version and Cheryl Ladd's are neck and neck!!!! I was 8 years old when this gem came out. Thanks for the memories!!

[@fabiojungle4722]

It's just got to be Andre Fischer on production. Those dramatic sweeps and chord changes ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheTones10]

Andre Fischer is so FKN underrated as a producer!! Check out the album by Rufus called “Party Til You’re Broke” that he produced. Pretty much every track is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@angelinalatimore6922]

Brave girl, brava! I listen to this always!

[@donbellamy8227]

Beautiful Brenda!

[@angelinalatimore6922]

Brava!

[@dme1016]

I found this in the NYC area thanks to WRVR soft-jazz radio, & fell in love with the arrangements. Her followup album didn't have the same feel, but props to you, Brenda.

[@melloLL4722]

My mind is Blown!

[@shakrua6457]

I Remember the nights in the Karaoke bar....

[@robertrodriguez1591]

This is for you Don... rest my friend. I miss and love you. We would sit, smoke and love her.

[@dme1016]

Robert Rodriguez I could say the same about my late friend, Cheryl. We would sit & smoke (& make love), & enjoy the music. I miss those days.

[@wazup269]

I experience this same situation,back in the day then this song came on,the young lady and i silently listen to this song then, i dropped her off, never to see her again.i lost her phone number and she never called me back, as fate would have it,it was not to be.

[@aungelaburns5111]

It's the arrangement for me

[@roenamorgan2114]

"Wonder if Ms.Brenda Russell,might have been in France,when she sang and recording the lyric:Seems as though,the song could be sung in French language;very nice acoustic back'ground vocal/orchestra:11-4-2021"

[@philippebouchy5498]

this album is probably her better of her career

[@konductor268]

...good song..Cheryl Ladd too..

[@courtneytownsel4268]

The orchestra! OUTTA SITE!

[@LLS710]

This is a remake of the Cheryl Ladd song that skimmed the top 40 the year prior.

[@transitvanful]

well miss russell didnt you do well ,miss you xx

[@cgrant4520]

Rest in the good news 💐🌑👍 Okay bye

[@resol_beats]

😳 found this accidentally

[@cgrant2382]

Rejoice rest He rose 🌹🌚👍 okay Bye

[@maxhealthbenefits3065]

Susan Szabo you think Cheryl Ladds version is the best. But Brenda Russell wrote it. Just like Whitney Houston version is best of I'll Always Love You. But Dolly Parton wrote it.

[@ubecool454]

the original is always the best. Cheryl Ladds version is ok but lacks the soul and the feeling I get from hearing Brenda do her song.

[@michaelwilliams4410]

This version is just as good as Cheryl Ladd's! But then again, Brenda co-wrote this song with her ex-husband Brian (who is now married to Cheryl)!

[@gregmuscovalley3791]

Susan...maybe in the country music world..........Not in smooth Jazz....with all Respect....i question your judgement in evaluating Music.. have a nice day...

[@susanszabo2207]

This song is not a country song!! This version or Cheryls. Everyone has there own preference.
