SHE DID A WONDERFUL REMAKE OF THIS SONG. I LOVE IT. AWESOME!!!!!

[@dancingdiamonddesigns413]

Definitely! Sorry nothing else seemed to follow. She is a natural.

[@ajs41]

This sounds more like a mid-80s production with mid-80s drum machine and the famous 808 cowbell sound. (I know it was actually 1988 or 1989). The re-mix is more like a late 80s/early 90s production with more of a dance/rave/R&B style drums and percussion.

[@merrickmorgan5316]

I had the chance to listen to Donna perform live at the University of Miami in 1985 as a freshman and I fell in love.

[@howardrobinson425]

I am so glad she auditioned for The Voice because I would've never got to know Donna Allen's instrument. She is beautiful and her voice is alluring.

[@lovingjb7487]

Donna has an amazing voice! I hope that she get a record deal from being on The Voice

[@idirmustapha]

yes I validate 👍

[@danielmcnulty50]

best remake of the original, great groove.

[@noddy809]

Maze did a brilliant version of this track but Donna's voice does it great justice and it still sounds as good today as it did when it was released.

[@dthom4719]

Love this song and love Donna's voice

[@themovements6189]

Maze’s is the original, not a version

[@wesgriffin6081]

Donna Allen (my homegirl from Tampa). I remember when she was a teenager...could dance & sing her butt off. I remember when she and I can't remember his name won the local dance contest to go represent Tampa in the Soul Train national dance contest. She also was lead singer in a local band....I'll never forget hearing her rendition of "Love Won't Let Me Wait". Donna was also a Tampa Bay Buccaneer cheerleader.

[@ceeceetracey9839]

[@NinaChristian]

Wow so amazing. I can't believe you are not winning Grammy's and playing around the world. You are so amazing!

[@jayskicksnfits9372]

[@1Surinamer]

MAD IN LOVE WITH THIS GIRL, SONG AND CLIP..IT WAS MY 100% JAM BACK THEN!!

[@landocalrisian2014]

Donna put her Funk on this classic and made it her own. Nice Job Donna Allen.

Good as ever.. Joy & Pain.. "There is no human being untouched by these two influences; but all the sorrow and the grief that exist come from the world of matter-the spiritual world bestows only the joy!" ~ Baha'i Writings

[@petes3008]

Love this song and what a voice Donna has ❤

[@RRDB92]

this was the one version i remember. i ❤ it.

[@Edward-tk4um]

Quality laa 👌 👏 have a lovely day 😊

[@MrAntiSellOut]

Haven't heard this version in a long long time

[@Lady1nMN]

OMG this is the lady on the voice lol i'm slow..... this explains why her audition i got chills , I love her voice

[@KingSin01]

Fabulous effort taking on such an iconic song. I missed Donna Allen first time around but there are elements of Patti Label in her voice which is nice and soulful. The addition of the sax makes for the only improvement on the original musicianship. Nice to bathe in Frankie's lyrics once more.

[@jayskicksnfits9372]

It's *LaBelle* .

[@murthfilm]

This music video fits the song so well

[@x-rockfm92hd81]

KEEP THE BEAT ALIVE 5 star Song thanks from X!

[@eopal-uk265]

Kids- this is real music. No marketing companies or computer- its called talent

[@Hamster-er1zg]

the year I left school and this song was the highlight of that summer. what a voice. Donna Allen should have been a bigger star.

[@jeanettepenny8838]

I agree. This is so soulful. ❤❤❤

[@alisongallyot382]

Still have my 12" ...what an absolutely awesome cover of this classic.

[@ayladj27]

Beautiful ❤️

[@mauricewilliams9709]

This was a version that I knew existed...The first time I heard it was on the show.."Video Soul" with Donnie Simpson..But anyways thanks for the add of the song...love this version

[@stephaniejordan9066]

[@tonderaimhembere7076]

Lovely throwback

[@PaulSmith-kw2yp]

music to my ears brilliant track.

[@sugarchops20071]

Memories of good days... wow!! Thank you for the upload!

[@CelestialGatez]

BET used to have this in heavy rotation. It was a banger then and it still is.

[@NightcrawlersJR]

Incredible vocal. Jx

[@TheYjmfan]

This version is so much better than the original, what a voice!

[@maxtheknife]

I love this version way more than Maze's version. This should have been a huge hit. Donna could have been a big star in the 80's but lousy management and labels that didnt bother to promote her kept her from getting the recognition she deserved.

[@colbyrobinson8708]

Agree.

[@p9mg]

I was there with Emridge Jones (RIP) my mentor and good friend on Sax and Keyboards. Gary King on Guitar Gene on Bass. Producer Lou Pace. Recorded at International Studio in Miami the good ol days.

[@mwembesichula5580]

Lyrics💞 Remember when you first found love how you felt so good? Kind that last forever more so you thought it would Suddenly the things you see got you hurt so bad, so bad How come the things that make us happy make us sad It seems to me that Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain, woo Love can be bitter love can be sweet Sometimes devotion and sometimes deceit The ones that you care for give you so much pain Oh, but it's alright, they're both one and the same Listen Don't it seem we go through life going up and down Seems the things that turn you on turn you around Always hurting each other (if it ain't one thing it's another) When the world is down on you love's somewhere around And I want you to know that Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain (one more time) Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain Over and over you can be sure There will be sorrow but you will endure (you will endure) Where there's a flower there's the sun and the rain Oh, but it's wonderful, they're both one and the same Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain (do it one more time) Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain (up and down all around that goes) Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
