"I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good enough" A powerful sentance describing a situation that we have all experianced in our lives, delivered inside a musical masterpiece. Dealing with pain, disapointment and failure and keeping our perseverence is key in this life.

One of the most greatest vocalist. To bad Quincy Jones said James said singing wasn’t his passion but the piano. The best singers are always the most humble

This song was produced by Quincy Jones in 1981. 41 years ago. First album for James Ingram, who was originally a pianist. Quincy Jones was the one who talked James into singing

He introduced me this song, and sobrang relate ako dito sa situation namin now. “Just once, can we figure out what we keep doing wrong why we never last for very long?” sayang, sobrang sayang nong love na meron tayo pero sa hindi natin napag usapang mabuting away hindi na na ayos. JB, I hope you'll find the love that you deserve, I hope you'll find the girl that will treat and love you right more than I did. Mahirap, sobrang hirap mong kalimutan but I'll try, and I hope someday pag nag kita tayo wala ng sakit sa akin. Stay safe my first love, i love you always.

AND HE SAT DOWN ON THE TABLE BESIDE THE WINDOW,THEN I PLAYED THE OTHER SONG OF HIS ALBUM" HOW DO YOU KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYIN"THEN HE RAN AGAIN ON THE PIANO AND SANG AGAIN.EVERYBODY WERE AMAZED,WONDERFUL GUY
