One of her most underrated songs

[@bradm.3775]

One of my Favorite songs ever....the composer of the music is on piano,Aziza Miller,also known as Linda Williams

[@miamoore9222]

I miss hearing her beautiful voice on the radio 📻 may she continue to rest in heavenly paradise 👼🏽

[@LERONMORTON-fz8em]

I MISS THIS WONDERFUL WOMAN NATALIE COLE 😥😥 REST WELL SWEETIE 🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@kevseb66]

WOW! Natalie sings it just as well live as on the album and she looks fabulous. Truly one of my favorites of hers. Wish she was still here making wonderful music.

[@midastouch4323]

I literally just heard this song today on IG and immediately fell in love with it!! Now I'm online looking for flights to the Caribbean

[@SmartRobot-wc2fb]

@midastouch4323: This is definitely one of Natalie Cole's best songs and one of the most beautiful ever recorded. It expresses her love for brazilian Bossa Nova and her coastal L.A. I can relate to that as I'm from a coastal/beach area too. Try to listen to it next or after Rufus & Chaka Khan's "Destiny"...

[@adriannathomas9691]

I'm literally addicted to this performance..

[@midastouch4323]

@@SmartRobot-wc2fb Yes!! I can hear the Bossa Nova groove to it. The lady on the piano, Linda Williams, produced the song. What talent!!!

[@alvernaarmour-cameron7342]

IT IS SOOO GOOD TO SEE THIS LIVE PERFORMANCE!!!!! SHE LOOKS SO GREAT!!!!

[@kenmills4739]

I remember this song very well from Natalie Cole's television special in 1978, I would cross paths with the song again in its full entirety on the LP record first and tape cassette it second in 1985-1986, then come across present day's KZbin videos featuring other singers performing this in various styles (including Jorge Dalto and Sheila Ford)-there WAS a video like this one, but it was shorter after the guitarist performed his solo interlude.

What a classy act of a black, classy woman boy have things changed. Natalie Cole you would truly be missed in my heart.

[@bubbyu77]

Natalie was so pretty during these years. She just had the most beautiful face. I was hooked the first time I heard her live. So elegant and classy.

[@Seastar259]

Sounds Just as Fresh and Current Now as When it was originally Released ❤ U Ms. Cole.

[@KevinETaylor]

The majesty of this moment was magical. I was a little boy in the projects of SW DC and I didn't understand how she could look this beautiful AND sparkle AND be so elegant AND pour jazz into and all over this song, but she was a soul SANGER! I was MESMERIZED and this is my favorite song of all time AND my favorite performance OF ALL TIME! Cissy and Anita looking divine in yellow and @AzizaMiller (then Linda Williams), the co-writer on piano. DIVINE!

[@terkstevens7971]

Are you saying that's Cissy Houston and Anita Baker baking her up?

[@LoveMEsumLISSA]

​@@terkstevens7971I believe her backup singers were Cissy Peoples and Anita Anderson.
