[@mariussmall-smith4401]

Phillinganes,Jackson,Robinson and East. Stars!

[@raymondgillespie7593]

Was one of the background singers o.c. smith?

[@pauletteanderson4142]

Brought tears to my eyes. This is one of my favorite songs. Didn't think anyone match AWB.

[@maitapuwamunana4147]

Listen to Jonathan Butler

[@bronwynjacobs3758]

i think as we live globally the one thing social media affords like-minded people in music, is to link and enjoy and have these conversations of how and where songs hit us at moments when we alone in our head

[@benjamlnlewis6836]

I like the funk of AWB man.

[@Traces13]

"If I Ever Lose This Heaven," is from the Quincy Jones album, "Body Heat," 1974. AWB did a cover. And a very good cover of the song.

[@keithballard4317]

Many people have covered this song...This is one of the best 👌

[@deborahmcgee4273]

I love this redition of this song. The band sounds fantastic and the young Lady and Back ground vocals are amazing. Everything sounds great.

[@fostermac7170]

That young lady would be the one and only Ledisi. Google her.

[@vroncooper5734]

The Band??? That's a lineup of superstar musicians...

[@chefandolini]

AWB... the bomb back then and will be forevermore

[@hawkrider88]

Yikes! This is just off the charts, crazy good and so DARN SOULFUL!!!!!!!!!!! I'll be back, where do I put my money!?

[@shawnmitchell2718]

Nothing is like the original, but Ledisi, backup, and the band pulled this off.. Pretty good

[@bronwynjacobs3758]

they handled this one alright more than just pulled it off they blew the top off it. You can feel it. This is a timeless song.

[@HasanALi-lj7mx]

Who sung the original one? I forgot, please help me find the original song

[@marcuscross6840]

​@@HasanALi-lj7mxIt's from Quincy Jones' "Body Heat" album (1974), featuring Minnie Riperton and Leon Ware, and many other top-tier musicians.

[@Ladyjazz62]

She nailed it !!

[@kennyjohnson9274]

You right she nailed it❤❤❤

[@sherwinfenis9945]

im still not losing heaven despite all the failures and misfortune...this song is really meaningful to me..

[@markrolanmaravilla1778]

I'm with you on that, Sherwin!

[@kennyjohnson9274]

You got that right

[@cagdeorok]

nothing can go wrong with nathan on the bass. everything outstanding in this performance.

[@kenforte8858]

Dayum!!! They brought it big didn’t they.

[@petrahailemariam6011]

Amazing performance. Love, love, love!!!

[@johnswift4177]

what a great song. i hadnt heared this one in years. so glad i found it!

[@rhythmaddict808]

dah-yum! what a vocal range! she may have left out some verses but the orchestra was on it!

[@DavidATakes]

Such a great song. Love the recent interpretation from Scott Frankfurt Studio featuring Vi Jordan. It's a showstopper.

[@murraykins1952]

Yes, that's the Average White Band version.

[@averysmithsr.2103]

Vi is the best!!❤

[@mikewixom5674]

By jordan version knox it out of the park

[@Cindydst81]

I didn't think anyone else could sing this better than Minne, this is awesome!

[@nathandehoyos8796]

And no one can, this is corny as plaid pants. Listen to this then the original you'll see. But I respect your view

[@ziggysmalls9329]

Cindydst81 Ledisi rocked it

[@yvettegibson8889]

No one and I mean no one can do it better than Minnie riperton sorry

[@markvineyard4149]

Marta Sanchez does a pretty good cover of this...

[@JayJordanJuly]

@@markvineyard4149: First time I heard the song it was Jonathan Butler... so it’s hard for me to like other covers of it.., but it’s beautiful nonetheless!!!😀

[@elvischairman2348]

I have not heard the original version but of five I heard that is the best

[@kazuhikofujita5865]

Wonderful Paul Jackson Jr. cutting guitar play.

[@adg1968]

The first time I heard this was with Average White Band, but when I heard the original off the Body Heat album with Minnie Ripperton singing background I was hooked

[@gregglockhart9551]

F that was killer! Woman got some pipes,and style!

[@babinm]

She forgot the second verse then screamed the rest. It’s about matching the song.

[@rosamartinez9421]

Bravoooo !!! Maravilloso 😍😍😍👏

If Nathan's playing, its special

[@helenmorreal9072]

All that Chica Chica noises she's making is throwing this great song off.

[@bishopdent]

Ledisi forgot the words--That is why the song should be performed as a duet like the original version.

[@bikesndrums]

JR Robinson on drums!

[@T6451]

Awesome!!!!!

[@jillbrawner8264]

🎉❤ my girl Ledesi. Thank you

[@taraevette6901]

I think she did pretty good to be the only one singing. The original had 3 artist singing. Good job Ledisi

[@MysticPieces]

It's not Ledisi, it's Lalah Hathaway

[@taraevette6901]

⁠@@MysticPiecesit’s definitely Ledisi. I love Lalah, but unfortunately this young lady is not here. You may wantta look up Ledisi so you can see what she looks loke

[@MysticPieces]

@@taraevette6901 thanks for the correction.

[@JayJordanJuly]

I was playing a video game when I heard this not watching the screen and even though I haven’t heard Ledisi in years... I knew it was her.

[@babinm]

Love this version but did this forget the second verse?

[@raymondgillespie7593]

Was one of the background singers O.C. Smith?

[@achillesmarte3901]

WOW!!!

[@tomrawley6549]

hamish stuart is still the man when it comes to this song, but tbf, this is a pretty good rendition.

[@babinm]

Did the singer forget the lyrics to the second verse? She seemed to lay out for the the second verse.

[@steelydan96]

This is nearly as good as the Average White Band version, all the beat from the old country, cheers, Joe..

[@tommywilliams4073]

Nothing compares to the original version by Leon Ware and Minnie Riperton off of Quincy Jones's "Body Heat" album. Nothing.

[@steelydan96]

Thanks for the head's up, great version, almost as good as the AWB's version on 'Person To Person', Cheers, Joe..

[@mikewixom5674]

Check out Vi Jordon version. Top notch. It rocks
