Ooh I found my way back! LOVE LOU RAWLS ON THIS SONG. RIP dear Lou Rawls.

Lou Rawls was one of the greats. Takes me back and I hope he is singing with the angels now -- bet he is.

I need a genuine man to sing this song to me.

I be the new generation of slaves
Here to make papes to buy a record exec rakes

Never ever overlooked the...Louis Rawls..Iceman?? Jeezy these brains farts (yeah I said brain farts Lololol!!!) Can't recall just stuck in my head but can't say...???? Onset Alzheimer's... Old organic brain change??? Lou Rawls was one of the original precursors to Soul R&B. . James Brown.. To Sammy Davis Jr. Nat King Cole...Ms. Ella Fitzgerald...where did that name come from..??? Lololol. And so many many more...

Naw the Iceman was. Jerry Butler ...my bad!!!❤❤❤💋💋💋

Beautiful!

UNICO, EXCEPCIONAL, USTEDES QUE OPINAN??

Un fenomeno,insuperable!!!

This is truly an awesome rendition from the man with one of the greatest singing voices in the history of mankind.

I like the temptations version more

I loved his voice but the women in the background completely ruin this IMO.

R.I.P. David Axelrod

Yes maam. He tested boundaries

Tom Jones?

Lou ..really sang this one!

Wow! Just wow!

I'd never heard this before...
Earlier this week, Pandora figured that, based on what "she" knows of my taste, I'd dig it...
Boy, was "she" right.
The BS&T classic, and as soulful as Brother Lou is, he's also subtle and light for most of this, in a way I've never heard him sing before.
This is not just great singing, this is great vocal production.
(And the arrangement is BITCHIN'.)

Me too I want to see those brown eyes happier just like you make my Hart jump a beat ask for my cell number my hands are tied and you have authority over me so ask for my number somehow (love you very much). RW from GH

I totally agree with the comment below!!

Maravilhoso Sr Rawls, pena que já se foi...

I love this version. Lou Rawls had that golden voice!!! I saw him in concert as a teenager and his voice is even smoother in person!!! I don't know why people try to put John Legend in the same category as Lou Rawls!! (people pleaasee!!!) John Legend can't hold a candle to Lou Rawls in my opinion!!!

Yeah, Legend couldn't hold his microphone! I heard Legend ad lib a song the other day on TV and I could have done way better. He was just awful. I remember "You'll never find" as a little kid, hearing it in the background on the radio and always loved it, wasn't sure who sang it until I googled it, but I was pretty sure it was Lou. What an awesome song and voice. Timeless.

I'm always sorry.. Every time I read the comments..

Sooo true. it takes only two before someone launches into "Why can't we have this kind of music any more..." zzzz.... People said that in the 1960s too, LOL (well, the unimaginative ones did), and even in the 1760s...

I like this version sorry to disagree.  It all depends on personality and we all have a right to exist.

This just seems to me to show a lack of soul/feeling and sounds like they showed him the words and he threw it on an album as a filler in five minutes. Take this down if you are a fan of Mr. Rawls. This isn't even in the right key for him.

@Dor Svenset I totally disagree- this one of my fav Lou songs- listen to the arrangements and his tone. Simply brilliant...

grammy family brought me here

+dg3492 me too. i guess it's 3:45 other wise i can't see how it's the sample.

so jazzy so classy !

His 'take' on every song is uniquely his!  Wondrous man!

Marvin Gaye?  Barry White?  Al Green?  Why did they overlook Lou Rawls.  He is awesome and real!  My fav!!!!

Lou was somewhat older generation. He would've been more along the lines of Sam Cooke and Joe Williams. Even Jackie Wilson. Lou Rawls was THE voice of the '60s-early 1980s. Very soulful, sexy and masculine. Another set-apart voice although not as MANLY was Luther Vandross in the late 1990s- early 2000s.

Yes, why did or could they leave out Lou Rawls

where are the  new "Low Rawls" amazing voices ? could some tell me?

@Charles Larkin: Maybe if you stopped expecting the music industry to cater to your tastes and your tastes only, and also stop living in a nostalgia bubble courtesy of classic rock radio stations, you'd be more clearheaded enough to see that there are great artists out there just like Rawls.

@Neville6000 Well, well, aren't you a little snot? 

I listen to a lot of music. Yes, there are some good performers now, but they're few and far between, and most of them have been pushed off of commercial radio because far too many stations are run by derp management catering to derp consumers. And a lot of the good jazz/ballad acts (think Rawls, Wilson, Sinatra, Mathis and similar...you can think, right?) are still considered too "mainstream" for NPR loonies and college radio, which used to make it a point to feature people like them who got the short-shrift for airtime. 

Making presumptions such as you have about myself and others who agree with my view exposes you for nothing more than the little punk you are.

That's just silly. Bieber and Abel aren't pushing anyone away. There are great voices on jazz and blues stations and yes, on pop and R&B stations too....Usher and Trey Songz and well, R Kelly is still (sigh) singing, some...the way things are now, no one has to be limited to a half-dozen radio or Internet stations; you can listen to ANYthing, from ANY COUNTRY -- have you listened to singers from South Africa, Chile, Norway? My gosh, I can think of two dozen "great male singers" right now, and no, I don't mean Michael Buble.

I hear those performers you listed on radio fairly often, but ... as noted, you can hear great singers on Pandora and on the Internet. Gosh there are SO MANY good vocalists!!!! In nightclubs too, not even in studios! I felt your reaction to Neville6000 was very extreme (you twice called him "little" -- an odd pejorative!). And you misused a reflexive pronoun, tsk tsk...

They're gone. WE RELLY NED SOME GODD DEEP BARITONE SEXY VOICES AGAIN. But then we'd have to have mature SOUL BROTHERS singing with good high-quality musicians and arrangers handling the music:/ Well in the NEW WORLD when HEAVENLY CHOIR IS ON BEAUTIFUL PLANET EARTH.

De La!!!!

Amazing...¡¡¡

Dr. Dre is his love child lmao!!!!!!!!!!!

♥ ♥ ♥

Forget about dre. says eminem!!!!! put an ak to his face, Lou Realy Rocks The Streets and stupid ex-gangbangers

i love lou, but i like the b,s&t version better

th3dudeabides1

Agree. I wanna hear BST do Time Will Take Care--Epic fail. Only Lou can give that song a voice

I have never been able to find one bad thing to say about this man .

Perhaps he tried, but he doesn't have this hot-buttered manly soul voice. This is a feel-good singer, just mesmerizing!

Great Song! De La's I Am I Be & I Be Blowin' are phenomenal

the master ,he have a real good style ,the voice,the feeling,all is great

His name is LOU RULES !!

buena musica nada mas

@vientoenpopa3 me too! if Lou was recorded reading the phone book i`d want a copy!

John Legend imitated this guy :)

You mean he tried...

lou makes me so very happy

pure gold!

Well thanks to all the Lou Rawls Fans... go to the Official Lou Rawls Fan Club on Facebook, and see all the great fans and friends whooping it up! Join the club!

I don't know why I am so obsessed with this man. For me there is no other singer in this world . Mankind still has not discovered you R.I.P. great singer !

He kind of looks like Dr Dre in this photo

This message is for my little sweetheart (called A.) in chicago... I Love You so much!!!!
Mr. Rawls ?! Please tell my baby what I am talkin' about!

e già... You've made me so very happy..!

I could listen to that intro on its own! - Great version and lucky enough to have it on CD.

so incredibly beautiful

That "ouu" drum sound is soo perfect in the beginning. Man, music really has died. Why don't people sing like this anymore!? What a touch of heaven on my scrappy computer speakers....

LOVE LOVE LOVE This song and the voice a pure classic.
