Nice Song!
Nice rendition, but not enough harmonizing between these two great artist. They only sing together at the end. Luther and Mariah and Luther and Beyonce took the time to blend each others voices.
At least we know that Lauryn can still sang her button off.
I havent listened b/c im atd skool but i LOVE Lauryn so i wouldnt see y i wouldnt lik the song!!!
This is on some other level of amazement that cannot even be explained! Lauryn sounds absolutely INCREDIBLE!
Enjoyed this! Love them both…
LOVE LAURYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing!
I love it!!!!! BEAUTIFUL song
shout out to Lauren Hill….where you been boo?? I am definitely gettingt his cd when it drops!!!!
Laryn & Ron sound like smooth silk.
Wow Lauryn still has vocals. I love it!
Amazing….
THIS SONG IS HOTT!!!!…IVE BEEN LISTENING 2 IT SINCE YESTERDAY!
Love me some Lauryn and Ron but not really a fan of how they did the remake. Gwen Guthrie who died of cancer remade it as well but more of a midtempo. The original was a man from the 60s I believe.
It’s soooo good to see L-Boogie back these days! I’ve MISSED her & The Game has NEEDED her! Let’s just keep sending prayers her way, and hopefully she will bless us with a new cd soon!
YO!! GOT GOOSEBUMPS ON DIS ONE! Lauryn’s voice is blew me away! I had forgotten what a strong vocalist she is.
I cant explain what happens to my soul when this women sings …I am kind of scared to hear her next album it like B.I.G I’m not sure whether or not she will be able to live up to her first one… She will always be the greatest female lyricist ever!
THIS IS VERY VERY GOOD,SO MUCH SOUL. AND HER VOICE GAVE ME GOOSE BUMPS.
SO OVER LAUREN HILL- SHE CAN GO SETDOWN SOME WHERE NOW- SHE WASNT AROUND WHEN WE NEEDED HER
SHE CAN TAKE HER WIERD AZZ BACK TO THE WOODS
THIS JUST GAVE ME LIFE!!!…… I LOOOOOVE LAURYN
Nice…very mellow has a classic sound
Im in LOVE again ……… Lauryn’s BAcK
really great rendition to me. very classic and mellow, glad to see Ron doing something of quality than when he was working with R. Kelly.
I want Lauryn back in the worst way, but not like this:( this is one of my favorite Karen Carpenter songs of all time and they just made it a snoozer. Extra boring:( I love Lauryn but to do a remake you need to enhance the song and they didn’t.
It’s nice to hear Lauryn again but this song bored me to tears. Can’t wait to hear her own music.
It is clear that old man can’t sing anymore. He is talking more than singing.
CANT STOP PLAYIN THIS SONG! LOVIN LAURYN HILL’S VOICE FOREVER YO!
RON ISLEY IS CLASSIC AS ALWAYS….
WHOEVER DONT LIKE THIS, WAS BORN 10 – 15 YEARS AGO….
Beautiful, I love anything the Isleys sing. Ms. Hill sounded nice as well, the piano was absolutely mesmerizing ……..
@ 19. STACY is stupid! Not to feel this and know what it’s all about. and be mad at LH she got 5 kids how selfish are you. SADE take 10 years per album LH ca take 12
Wow, I love it!
Beautiful music……
Ron Isley and Burt Bacharach remade this song (which was originally by Burt) back in 2006. This is the exact same track, i have the album. its my favorite song, ever. all they did was add Lauryn’s vocals- its like God knew exactly what i liked and decided to put Lauryn Hill on my favorite song- real music is back. Tell Soulja Boy to go sit his aZZ down somewhere and let the real musicians breathe. SUCKERZ!!!!!
I LOVE IT… I LOVE IT.
absolutely amazing!!!
beautiful. Thats my girl.
Ronald Isley could make the “ABC’s” sound wonderful…..I loveth he;)
I love it…that is alll!
I love them both so this song gives me everything I need.
when Lauryn came in i died..that is all
At last, Ron Isley’s voice is the truth, and finally we have real music again.The collaboration with Lauryn Hill is perfect. If only we could get rid if the Rihannas, the Keshas, the Biebers etc, wouldn’t it be a wonderful world?
they both sound painful n the song is borring although i used to love lauryn hill very much
I love, this jazzy, soulful, melancholy sound! Of course it would be from Lauryn and Ron! U inspire me to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a sincere interpretation of this song… Mr. I and Ms. Hill are fantastic!
