Ms. Austin keeps her voice all warm, safe and healthy all these years.

[@meow-ge7xk]

No singers like him anymore,..but we still have Brian Mcknight who still pay tribute to him.. Miss him a lot...

[@ColinRoySinger]

James Ingram was the man, the voice that made me want to get behind a microphone and sing. I played his songs constantly then and still now I will keep the music playing R.I.P my inspiration.

[@guitargod6997]

A great singer with amazing chops!

[@meilingmoore9631]

He gave us beautiful songs .. Prayers for James Ingram and his family and friends.

[@Madamonitor]

Wonderful thing is James Ingram actually does know how to keep the music playing, he has been together wife his wife for 45 years! Which I think helps him deliver this song with such conviction, mad respect.

[@saundragordon-grant6088]

I truly respect longevity in a marriage. I'm sure that 45 years were not all "peaches and cream," but the vows state, "til death do us part." That's how they ended it.

[@angelcole90]

Just Beautiful. RIP Mr. INGRAM. 2022

[@florenceduckett9818]

[@spaetzle98]

If we can be the best of lovers, yet be the best of friends... If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows, with any luck than I suppose... ♥♥♥feels like you're dreaming of such perfection everytime you're listening to this very romantic ballad from these 2 legendary music icons. I love you James! You're awesome!

[@JosephFabs]

I can't imagine how hard this song to play for the band and conductor. Anyway, it would be my honor to play it with these great singers :) RIP James. We miss you.

[@KalestineButler]

Classic! Great humor and great voices, these two are amazing.

[@t.s.t.4085]

I've seen decades worth of these two, and believe Mr. Ingram was truly in love Ms. Austin. She played for decades she didn't care, but one NEVER forgets the one(s) who truly loved you. If these two were just doing it "for the cameras", well God Bless the acting skills:)

(January 29, 2019) Some things hurt too much, and this is one of them. We are extremely sad to inform SoulTrackers that legendary singer and songwriter James Ingram has died at age 66, after a long and very private illness. The death was disclosed via a social media post from his good friend, Debbie Allen

They still sounds like an original CD playing. Both from Scathing generation. :D Scathing King and Queens from different kingdoms. lol Are they not really vampires? lol How did they keep their voice always amazing? Their great personality and excellent performance is still the same. Sophisticated, mischievous adlibs that spices the thrills. Lovely to see that their majestic voice is still heavenly. WOW Incredible talent transcends any time.
