That saxophonist is playing the heck out of that sax! True talent!

These guys, Tower Of Power, Hall Oats, Steely Dan, Michael McDonald, Doobie Brothers just some of the greatest bands of my time. Real musicians. Still sound so good.

Absolutely one of the top Soul and R&B groups ever! No question. They sounded as great LIVE as on record.!!

The first time I've seen this group perform live was in Landover MD at the Capital Centre in 1976 right after their Live album was released. There was 22,000 people packed in that joint that night. They came out on stage without all the pyrotechnics like Earth Wind & Fire or P-Funk, They just had a banner behind them with their logo on it. All they did was picked up their instruments and JAMMED THEIR ASSES OFF FOR TWO AND A HALF HOURS!! When they played their biggest hit off that album "T.L.C." It was one gigantic party!! Those guys remembered that night so much. They appreciate all their fans all over the world but I truly believe that night they developed a special bond with Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia. I've seen them perform on more than 5 times when they come through the DC area and they NEVER EVER disappointed us. Flat out AWESOME BAND!!

He is the keyboard player/backing vocals for H&O, and has appeared on every episode of the very popular internet/TV show "Live From Daryl's House". Lewis has also had a very successful solo career outside of H&O and LFDH, touring the east coast, midwest, and Vegas over the last several years.

The kicker was finding out it was a white band 😲😯😲😯😲🤣🤣🤣 with so much soul!

Dude killed that sax riff. Neither the song nor the band ever get old. Own all of their albums dropped in the U.S. Their music, guaranteed to make you “hit the flo”, was fun & felt in your core. They’re playing and vocals- funky as hell! Thought the lead vocalist SAF. Was obsessed with this song, played it to death. The harmony was so cool, full of paradox. Great writing. Showcased the band’s versatility. Loved AWB since 73!

What a beautiful song that's never going to grow old I keep hoping for a Love of My own God bless to all the women of the world ✝️🤘🏼

Eliot lewis is so talented he has a unique voice. Really enjoy this song!

It just doesn’t get any better than this. Love it when they show the audience dancing 😏👍

Lord have mercy ! Sound so good makes you wanna cry. There is absolutely nothing "Average about this band" kicking ass taking names Funk at the highest level...

My favorite A.W.B song!! Love "Schoolboy Crush" too!!

This song has and probably will be always be both my husband and my favorite love song. These guys are really soulful .

27 years old and this is my main favorite genre of music! Smooth and steady and the girls dig it because it’s different and classy but still sexy 👌🏼

OMG.....I MISS THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG. I NEVER FOUND THAT LOVE...BUT IM STILL SEARCHING

This is one of the ultimate slow dance romantic jams of all time!!! Go ahead AWB, get down with your badd selves!!!
