DIANA (12-Inch Extended Version) - Eugene Wilde

From his 1985 Philly World album "Serenade", this song reached #10 on the R&B chart in 1986.

[@user-xe5cg7vy9f]

This was the jam back in the 80s in fact Eugene Wilde had a couple of classics.. who remembers 'Don't say no tonight' that was popping off in the 80s let's not forget this guy

[@monilaninetynine3811]

Yep. And Gotta Get You Home.

[@jimmiepage2617]

Dam that voice! He shoulda been a superstar! My fav from him!!

[@noellescorpio1969]

Wow this use to be one of my favorite songs. The conviction in his voice was so touching and moving. Old school vibe. No one does music llke this any more. Thanks Mr. Ron Broomfield aka Eugene Wilde!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jeffersonbryant8893]

Yes I agree and that conviction in his voice told the story brings a person's amagination at that point and time reacting the moment. You can definitely feel his emotions

[@MrJuan67]

This is how it's done. A real man singing a real song. Dam I miss this kind of music. Please bring it back!!!

[@francoismarkantoni5959]

Great, great song.There is no better singers than black men.

[@karenbouldin4697]

Eugene Wilde, A very very TALENTED brother...

[@davidmosleysr.5799]

Yes !!

[@reneewhite6877]

Back then men were not afraid to express their true feelings. Gotta love the 80s

[@Pakiratigri]

Remembering hearing this song for the first time on the radio at a birthday party in Suriname. . It was a hell of a job to find out who the singer was.Then finally get to localise mister Eugene Wilde. So underrated this man with his golden voice.

[@roysnabilie8345]

Your right it was a big hit in Suriname.

[@clairehanson2036]

You are right i thought it was james ingram back in the days.

[@monilaninetynine3811]

@@clairehanson2036 They do have a similar sound.

[@mom2babygkaterad946]

I was a little girl when I first heard this song. Apparently I inherited my mom & dad’s ear for awesome music. I remember asking my mom why didn’t she name me Diana so he could be singing this to me!!!!! I adore me some Eugene Wilde baby!♥️♥️♥️

[@NoNo-ks4gg]

Kool story, baby2mom --- thanks for sharing --- hope you named one of the kids, Diana, though! Because as a wise man once said, "Those who can't remember history . . . are condemned to repeat it." #justsayinkid #each1teach1 #🤎

[@carlalinton7983]

Carla Linton. Eugene Wild is one of my favorite R and B Male Artists of the eighties. One of my favorite songs by Eugene Wild is called. Diana. That's one of my favorite Old School Slow Jams back in the day.

[@Pakiratigri]

This is a great love song. Just ask my daughter Diana. Thanks to this song.

[@trudygordon7166]

I always love this song. I fell in love with it at the age of fourteen. It has been so sentiment, to me after many, years still beautiful.

[@class1clean]

brings back good memories. thanks for sharing.

[@canadamanize]

this is fucking music man. Eugene still remains one R&B greatest singers. Does any body knows what have become of him, he needs to return

[@josephokondo9371]

Reminds me of the good old days!

[@wodie77036]

Unsung should do an episode of this man.

[@trentdavis733]

Good thought, but that rests on two things: Unsung has to reach out to him, and he has to consent to it

[@monilaninetynine3811]

@@trentdavis733 You're right. Not everybody is willing to open up about their industry experiences. I still hope they do an episode on him, if both parties are willing.

[@kevinhamlet1690]

Diana has always been my favorite by Eugene, 1991

[@victorjackson4125]

Good music brought me here!!!!!

[@danielmcnulty50]

unrated singer,great song..

[@davidmosleysr.5799]

Great Highschool memories listening to this song!!! Being a teen great times and the 80s music was great!!!

[@ernestmilz]

This song brings me back. I loved it for its originality

[@PeekaPeep]

Songs like this made me happy to grow up in the 80s! Thank you, Mr. Wilde. I remember my dad recording the music video of this song off BET back in the day. Never could forget it... ;-)

[@MrKevinWilliams]

I have been searching for this song for years! Thank you for posting... I was so young when I first heard it... for some reason I thoght is was James Ingram or Peabo Bryson... no wonder I couldn't locate it.

[@kathypagan2057]

dreams to remember

[@valariemford3228]

love this song I love Eugene voice

[@le2800]

Wow! Same here. I was stationed in Ft Dix, New Jersey and it played at a club there. I slow danced to it. It was my first and last time ever hearing it. Over the years, it kept popping into my head. I would look for it by name and they would put up, Dirty Diana by Michael Jackson and some other songs with that name anywhere in it! 🤦‍♀️ Finally, I began to think I had the name wrong so I put in Joanna and they gave me Kool and the Gang!! 😂😭 This time after searching for this song off and on for over 40 years I replayed some of the lyrics in my head, and put it "What song says when you look at me that way, try to understand you belong to me"? Bingo!!! I hit the jackpot...finally. I am not even familiar with Eugene Wilde but I have always remembered this song and the special person it always made me think of, and the many lost opportunities with that person. Nostalgia at its best!

[@paulalazarus5041]

All three has different sounding voice. Eugene to me did not get the recognition he deserves. Love all three gentlemen but he's my favourite. Not to leave out Mr George Benson and Alexander O'Neal.

[@NoNo-ks4gg]

Great guessing, Kevy Kev . . . it could pass for both . . . but I always knew --- but I was a Radio Personality back then, though!

[@dazk074]

Everything thats great about 80s Soul R&B is represented here, Eugene Wilde makes this track what it is Magnificent! Would love the Broomfield's now, To bring music back to where it should be, Back to where it was in 80s just in a fresh way, pure class telent like this can't be ignored. What a voice always a fan!

[@trymybest123]

One of the most beautiful songs ever! Love it!!

[@1MsYummyb]

Why do I love this song so much.......hmmmmm

[@berrybarfield6452]

Just that type of jam!!

[@monilaninetynine3811]

Is your name Diana? Mine isn't but it's a great song.

[@reddhawt2378]

Because your name is Diana. 🤭 🙂 But great vocals and words.

[@clairehanson2036]

I love this song its priceless.

[@Daniel-h7h]

That's my ex's favorite song,now she's gone forever.I wish she was still here.

[@davidmosleysr.5799]

Love this beautiful classic!!! Good and drama free times when this came out. I was a teenager looking at girls trying to find the right one 😂 Good old days!!!

[@1MsYummyb]

I always loved this song but I may be a bit biased... Signed Diana

[@YvonneMaurice]

This takes me back to 1986 freshman year of college and my then boyfriend made me a mix tape that included this song....*sigh*... good times.

[@randythomas2576]

So great back n da day....song was definitely slept in.

[@sacajawea81]

Love this song!

I've been looking for this song 4ever. I just couldn't remember who sang it. Now I know

[@cedricevans9109]

wow i first heard this song in 1987and wow hooked on it ever since where have music gone dam the 80's the best

[@chichibud31]

"Diana!" Such A Beauitful Song! ♡ :) (::) .

[@dianaharris6587]

I have always like this song not because that is my name but it has a lot of meaning, That is when the descent guys. I don't know what to say about the ones now they do not respect woman.

[@henryjackson2156]

this song is for my one and only love

[@DLICIOUS42]

Just think. Eugene Wilde was only in his mid 20s when he made this album! Today's R& B artists are no where near the maturity level of the singers of the 80s.. I was about 15 when this came out so I can tell the difference between then and now

[@janellirving4625]

I love the long version.

[@jeffersonbryant8893]

Yes I agree it did the same for me. That conviction in his voice told the story of his love for this woman that wasn't his.

[@Sweetbabyvixen]

Aw shit! I have been trying and trying to find this, all this time I thought Glenn Jones sang it. Thanks so much for putting up this classic!

[@puzlersmallstep]

Me too! They have similar styles 🙂

[@NoNo-ks4gg]

This dude had like three (3) great songs back-to-back-to-back . . . and then he was gone . . . similar to the warden from Shawshank when he said, "Like a fart in the wind!" 🌬💩 Oh, the late great years of '84 -'86 --- and this aforementioned 🤎breaker, "Gotta Get You Home With Me Tonight" and "Don't Say No Tonight" were basically on-sight 'Panty Droppers' back in the day . . . #RESPECT #ohthememories #andthegoodtimes #whew #letme🛑

[@corrinecorrietravis2408]

He meant EVERY WORD OF THIS SONG

[@TLDavis1230]

This song had some time on the radio but faded really quick...I still remember this song like it was yesterday...thanks for the great memories as well as the excellent post!!

[@MrFRKMSTR]

I love this song, along with his other hits but this one hits home as I was in love with a woman when in the Marines, who was already taken in the late 80's, her name was Anita Taylor, I still think about her to this day.

You and I Have been through soo much lately Trying to work it out.... After you broke up...with him. But, how can I Help you to make up..with another guy When I know deep in my heart.. That I want you for myself.. And I've been trying to tell you...for some time now. But, I just didn't know how [Hook:] And I know that I may sound a little crazy. Knowing you were someone else's lady...Ooh [Chorus:] Diana Don't' look at me that way But, try to understand...what I've been going through.. Diana I'll give you anything...if it means That you belong to me... Oh Diana. [Verse II] Look at me... I had soo many restless nights...it's hard to sleep When you are on my mind I'll always keep... Hoping that one day...You'll be free To spend some time with me. So tell me if I'm wrong For trying to hold on.. Tell me right now... Don't' leave me..hanging on. (repeat hook) [Chorus:] Diana.. Don't' look at me that way But, try to understand. what I've been goin through Diana I'll promise you a diamond ring...if it means That you belong to me.. Diana...oh yeah... Don't' you see That you are hurting me... (fade-out)

@garggleandspit3 Thanks a lot. No, it's not you. It's all of us real R&B music lovers also who are less than impressed with the state of today's music. I know there is a little real music still out there but the media overlooks it for the next AutoTuned no-talent hack.
