Randy Crawford │Rio de Janeiro Blue

(Recorded 1995)
Rio de Janeiro Blue
The clouds come - a creepin' and you got me weepin' this moment
I can't believe your really gonna leave this town
everyone knows,
I can't make a move without you
your turnin' my whole world upside-down
and I get a feelin' that I've seen the last of you,
Rio De Janeior Blue
The salty air,
your wind-blown hair,
reflection on a dream
thoughts of you with who knows who,
flowin' through me like a stream
Brazilian serenades linger on
help me lose my soul in your song
and I get a feelin' that I've seen that last of you,
Rio De Janeiro Blue,
Rio De Janeiro Blue
(Insturmental Bridge)
Months go by,
I wounder why,
I'm left here on my own
could it be my destiny, is to live this life alone
these dark and rainy days have turned me cold
long and sleepless nights are gettin' on
and I get a feelin' that I've seen the last of you,
Rio De Janeiro Blue,
Rio De Janeiro Blue
Rio ...
Rio de Janeiro Blue
Long and sleepless nights,
are gettin' on
Rio ...
Rio ...

God broke the mold when he created Randy Crawford. She has one of the purest, sultry, soulful voices I have ever heard. There is nobody in this day and age can sing like her and no one probably never will.

[@khayalethutyokolo8732]

La voce inimitabile di Randy, raffinato jazz-soul..che chiedere di più

[@ZoePat123]

God bless this phenomenal artist! I absolutely love this song. ❤️🙏🏽❤️

[@Rob-em-Cristo]

As a true Carioca (born in Rio), this song means so much to us from Rio de Janeiro. Randy knows how to describe what we feel about this amazing and splendid city. The seranades linger on ❤❤❤❤ Roberto

[@soerenguitarlessons9947]

It is already a good song. With Randy Crawford it gets even better. What a voice!

[@deanbeaty7705]

True talent, beautiful lyrics, a wonderful collaboration, Randy Crawford has NO equal. Music that doesn't beat you over the head. Some of the crap called talent makes me shake my head. They should all have to listen to this...and then quit poisoning the airways,lol. Randy Crawford is brilliant. Can't say enough about her..I love her version of Robert Palmers "it takes every kind of people ".

[@TunmisheOkeDeliverance]

All the years and this songbird is still as smooth as silk

[@deanbeaty7705]

Randy Crawford represents the best of us, supremely beautiful and talented human being. I listen to her and chills run down my spine. This song is so hauntingly beautiful.

[@estlhm805]

No one can carry this song like her! Can feel the heartbreak as the music and the lyrics carry you on the journey

[@maryellenshoshannaaisenber2471]

[@gatske]

[@vaughnchauncy8360]

Miss Randy Extraordinary Crawford...just sing it!She is unsung..so talented but not hailed as she should be and shoulda been in record sales

[@missp00153]

this is beautiful for so many reasons. Randy has a natural grace. she knows that screaming isn't necessary to make this song and this performance hypnotic. she even busts out a high note without overpowering the music. its why she's legendary. with her beautiful smile. love you Randy!

[@beverlyharris9859]

❤WOW. MY FAVORITE. SENSATIONAL AWESOME HEAVENLY BEAUTIFUL AMAZING WONDERFUL PHENOMENAL EXTRAORDINARY!😊😊❤

[@pbenson56fran]

I keep saying the same thing about Randy Crawford. On some of her songs she dances and smiles as she sings.. It makes me feel good to see how she enjoys performing on stage, wow. Love love her voice

[@jamiewatson9065]

[@deanbeaty7705]

Eric Walker, your story is inspiring to me. I had a severely abused mother , abused in every way possible a female can be. She, unfortunately allowed it to make her sn abuser. I forgive her. 3 1/2 years ago I lost my Beautiful wife Arline, everyday is a struggle. This song also gives me strength. God bless you and carry on. As I tell my kids, "I'm still here". Not easy though.

[@abodabalo]

I had my Randy Crawford phase as a teenager. Listening to this 25 after that period, I think it's coming back. Wait... it was never gone! ❤

[@maju-chanoficial1405]

Randy Crawford, uma cantora extraordinária, músicas extraordinárias e um conjunto maravilhoso. Está marcando essa última fase da minha vida.

[@18echosf]

Allen Hinds really understands how to play behind a singer, not get in the way, and kick it in gear when soloing. I love this video!

[@BrianJohnson-bq9tr]

A thoroughly wonderful and criminally under-rated singer I have loved her din😢ce i first heard her back in 1979 when i was 18.

[@PRINGLE130]

....so perfect...ihear this.on and on....

[@michaelbliss5044]

OMG I love you Randy Crawford you killed that and that was live amazing . Namaste

[@gritNglitter301]

This songbird still sounds sweet

[@TheMsIvery]

I pray I never see the last of you! Rio De Janeiro Blue...In fact, I look forward to seeing the 1st of you!

[@hugocestari7642]

I attended Randy Crawfords NYC debut in March of 1979 with no less than the Crusaders w/Joe Sample introducing and accompanying her. All of these artists were flawless, and the sound quite mastered (Avery Fisher Hall - Lincoln Center). I just wanted to say this is probably my favorite song by Randy and I have seen her perform several times since then. She has lived in England for quite some time now so concerts here are scarce or non-existent. Still this song haunts me; great rendition.

[@stephnerose5817]

Smooth well disciplined voice

[@cld458]

Marvelous song from a very talented artist.

[@vanjohnson9476]

Beauty randy i love

[@richyz01]

Great performance!!!!!!

[@ustwoalberts]

....and what a top-class backing !

[@santospdaniel]

Besides the good music, the sound quality is very good which makes the audition of such song much pleasant! This is not the first video I see recorded in that German bar "Ohne Filter". It means "Without Filters". Probably their value is to achieve the highest quality possible of sound propagation within the bar and recording. This is a remarkable value in these days where everything is "fast-plastic" made without any concerns. As an audiophile I give my congratulations to the ones that keep alive the taste and the effort made to record and reproduce music in excelent conditions, as the musicians deserve their work respected.

[@scottsoul64]

Flawless

[@Lipe.G.C.2002]

Nota-se a influencia vocal que tem de Aretha Franklin na voz da Randy Crawford! Musica espetacular, Rio de Janeiro é muito cênico no cenário musical pelas praias e pela visão "Garota de Ipanema".

[@hollihawk1]

One of the best!
