I love u lol x

[@HoratioFitzbastard]

Curtis was diabetic and was very sick for most of his adult life. He did well to be able to get classic tracks like this out before his untimely death.

[@shondaprice5506]

Yes, it was very sad that he passed away at a very young age. Diabetes is a very serious illness and it is not always cured because the immune system in the body does not function.

[@HoratioFitzbastard]

@Lady Beezay No doubt that is true, but Curtis had had health trouble from a very young age.

[@Whitebabe1]

Love this track sooo much! He died of kidney failure,at the age of 34.Too young!RIP Curtis

[@marcomustang876]

I believe it was more than just kidney failure 😞

I remember going to the record store asking for this. The guy behind the counter put the record on and played it. “This one” ? He asked. I said yep. That’s it. He took the record off the player, put it in it’s jacket and GAVE it to me. It was a promo copy that I guess he didn’t need anymore. I felt so lucky. Remembering this made me come in here and listen. Thanks Curtis!

[@celiorodrigues4169]

Saudades, de você veio ao Rio de janeiro, e deixou saudades o melhor dos melhores!!!!🇧🇷👏🏾👏🏾

[@BLAKPEARL69]

34 is so young. Great voice. R.I.P. Curtis.

[@jdubb9101]

Curtis was always the headliner of all the talent shows on campus at WSSU. I was fortunate enough to know and hang out with him briefly when he came over to visit my room mate in the dorm on campus. Unfortunately they both have passed... RIP to my best friend(roomy) and Curtis, the world has lost such major talent.

[@maryherring8130]

Yes, like you, I remember the concerts and talent shows at WSSU and Curtis with his amazing voice, when he would sing peabo Bryson's and George Benson's songs. I'm was always a fan of his and only knew him a little bit on campus there. I miss him a lot, and God has truly picked an angel. Mary Mc Leod Herring.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Curtis

[@samirameskry578]

I didn't know he passed away. This was the only song I knew and I was 8 years old when I heard and watched enjoyed the video clip. Never knew his name. May Curtis Hairston Soul Rest in Peace 🙏🏽. Great song.

[@jinaedinisci159]

One of the greatest vocalists of his generation. His untimely passing was a tragedy. Definitely taken way too soon. Sing in Paradise Angel 😇 😢

[@debailey72]

" I will climb the highest mountain, I will swim the deepest sea, I do anything to get your lovin' back to me!" That's my favourite line. R.I.P. Curtis you were one of the best and are sadly missed. Long live his music!

[@psthreeee]

I did 2 shows as a dancer with the brother, one was at the Steven Center in Winston Salem home town to both of us , yes home boys 💙we turned it out..R.I.P. my brother you had so much to give to the music world..

[@71brighteyes]

My family and I attended the same church (First Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, NC) as he did in the late 70's, even though I honestly was a little young to remember him then. My mom remembered him singing in the choir, and said that he had a wonderful voice. I never knew that there was a video to this song, which is my favorite of his. But he is still very much missed here. R.I.P.

[@purplelove010]

wow thanks for sharing that! I wish I could learn more about him.

[@jimstevens1487]

Pulled up next to a young lady in the traffic and this was full blast.Made my day.

These are the kind of videos we enjoyed back in the 80's and 90's , just pure , simple , right to the point , nothing extraordinary extravagant = a lot of wasted money spent today ! Classic video and represents the time and great era / decade !

[@jorgesxbass7606]

CELIO, ninguém fez a cópia do vídeo, até hoje não tem nada da apresentação dele no Portelao, eu tinha todo o Show em DVD, acabei perdendo Fernandinho e Corello e que tinham esse vídeo, tinha também a Sybil, Incrível Curtis dançou todas!!!! Muito bom, saudades da boa música dos 80's

[@marimbaani9317]

He also did Morning After!!

[@marb9303]

I remember this from school and still listening ,what a legend

[@simonballister1224]

Check out BB & Q's Genie Album. Curtis was the lead vocalist on that album. Hands down a classic. Minutes Away is just amazing. Glad all of this stuff is available on MP3 now. I could care less if Curtis was gay or straight. This man had monster vocal talent. I was actually fortunate enough to pick up an autographed copy of his album. Curtis = LEGEND. RIP.

[@bolayoguns]

Simon Ballister His vocals on BB &Q's - Dreamer is even more remarkable.

[@thetasharagenechronicles8505]

I'm not sure if it would ever happen however I think an episode of unsung needs to be done about this man. His vocals were remarkable. Died at the age of 34 gone way too soon however thankful that the world got to know his songs.

[@rjjcms1]

I didn't know he died so young. :-(

What a great track! All time classic this tune...I haven't seen this video before, so it's always a surprise get this 80's stuff on video...

[@musiclover3928]

@Globalfaction show some damn respect! the man had great talent and that is all it matters.

[@Frazur]

Good look on posting this video. I didn't ever know that he had any videos. I can't wait to see some of his other live performances, especially singing Genie as a member of the BB&Q band.

[@jmadtoyou]

Ah, man! This really brings back good memories. Too young to go to the club..never knew what the artist looked like..just heard great music being pumped by Kiss and WBLS. Tears of joy (in remembering good times) and partial for sorrow, for those that have left the physical. Regardless, their work makes them immortal. Due ya' thing Mr. Hairston.

[@musiclover3928]

@lipcoc Curtis was a musical legend during his time. He actually sang with Luther Vandross before Luther became famous. Curtis died in 1996 at the young age of 34. Very tragic.

[@randallbutler9631]

WBLS 107.5 , New York use to rock this hard back in the day's.

[@alexforest1]

randall butler I agree I couldn't get out of the house for work listening to This great cut. WBLS had this groove going on.
