"Love Will Find A Way" is a song written by Lionel Richie & Greg Phillinganes.
George Howard (September 15, 1956 - March 20, 1998) was an American smooth jazz saxophonist. Howard was born September 15, 1956 in Philadelphia. In the late 1970s, he toured with Grover Washington, Jr., who was one of his idols. In the early 1980s, Howard released his first and second studio albums, Asphalt Gardens and Steppin' Out. Both albums were well received and ranked high on the Billboard magazine jazz album charts at No. 25 and 9, respectively. The last track on 'Steppin' Out' is called 'Dream Ride' and features George playing clarinet. The track was promoted in 1984 in the UK by DJ Robbie Vincent and is now a classic among soul and jazz enthusiasts.
By 1985, his third album, Dancing in the Sun, had scaled the Billboard Jazz Album chart to No. 1. Each of his next three albums, Love Will Follow, A Nice Place to Be, and Reflections would also reach this height in the Jazz Album chart. After the success of Dancing in the Sun, Howard left GRP Records in order to join MCA Records through the 1988 release of Reflections. His next album Personal was released in 1989.
However, he returned to GRP in 1990 and released Love and Understanding in 1991. It was followed by Do I Ever Cross Your Mind? (1992), When Summer Comes (1993), A Home Far Away (1994), and Attitude Adjustment (1996). His first five years with GRP, plus a selection of his MCA recordings, were summarized on 1997's The Very Best of George Howard and Then Some.
Howard returned to recording with Midnight Mood, which was released in January 1998, his final album before his death two months later. He stayed with GRP until his death from colon cancer on March 20, 1998. His final album, There's a Riot Goin' On was released by Blue Note Records one month after his death.
Howard was survived by his daughter, Jade Howard, and two sisters, Mary Howard and Doris Beverly.
Are you feeling down, and lonely.
Feeling like you can't go on.
Just remember love will find a way.
Tell me are you going through changes.
Time seems like it's passing by.
Just believe that love will find a way.
I see the tears you cry.
I see the pain that's in your eyes.
So many times you were so lonely.
And no one seemed to care.
But if your hopes, for your tomorrows.
Are drowning in your sorrows.
Know your heart will show you the way.
Are you trying to find a beginning.
Or something just to hold on to.
Always know that love will find a way.
Is it hard this life you're living.
Does the world seem so unkind.
Don't you worry love will find a way.
Some say we've lost, our way.
Some say the world has gone astray.
But if you know where you're going.
There's nothing you can't do.
'cause problems will come.
And they will leave you.
The world will try to deceive you.
But the truth will always be in your soul.

Real Music. It saddens me that the children of this day and time will "never" know the peace and power that Jazz truly brings. Gift from God!

Someone ought to do a movie about George. There must be a great story, the struggle..the emotion he puts into his pieces are deep!

I made this my personal preeminent favorite tune that signifies me. So glad I got to hear him play this live in Southern California before he passed.

@michaelalexander43 I got to hear him play in Virginia Beach back in 1983. He had just released his debut album "Asphalt Gardens" the year before. He was the real deal (just like another sax legend, Grover Washington, Jr. (RIP)). He left us much too soon. Forever RIP George.
