He dedicated this performance to his late mother, it was a touching moment to witness live.
Thank you to The Most High God for ALLOWING ME to be alive to witness greatness
Absolutely beautiful performance. Not sure how Babyface manages to outdo himself, but he always does ❤️
Oh my god that orchestra backing him sounds gorgeous
So underrated. I want a genre of music where r&B/hip-hop mixes with orchestral music.
I was there at the Kennedy Center. The concert was awesome, but when he sung this, it was very emotional.
If there’s a better song, God is keeping it for herself. 🇬🇧

BABY FACE, WAS SINGING THIS SAME SONG ON TV SHOW (90210) IT WAS GREAT TO HEARING HIM SINGING THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG. BARS! 😀😀
While most of the kids were playing basketball at Grandview school yard, little Kenny and Dave Simmons could always be seen heading with their guitars to someone's garage or basement to practice. From then as the shy but focused Indy kid to now as a superstar musician, he has always been the same, extremely talented, incredibly humble, and always open to giving the folks back in his hometown some shine. Blessings to you and your sax man, Andre Delano.
This performance is hypnotizing
It's 2023 enjoying this song.
Now who would still be listening in 2023?
Wow. Serious props. He sings this as if the heartbreak was yesterday.

@@nancycole2131 His or her heartbreak, it doesn't matter. Regret and pain are two sides of the same scar, you know? There is a hierarchy of 'breakup songs'... there are the ones where the singer almost pins it, with lyric or a passage in the music, but doesn't quite hit the mark. And then there are the ones that make you feel like you're still bleeding from it. It's the difference between some teenaged pop song and the emotions expressed in Bonnie Rait's 'I Can't Make You Love Me'. 'When Can I See You Again' has always been in the latter category for me. If you've never heard the acoustic version of 'Days Go By' by Dirty Vegas, I think you'd be surprised at how deep the lyrics are.
This man right here is like butter. Smooth and melts my heart. So handsome.
Thank you babyface for all the great 90s R&B you produced for us!
The maestro getting his groove on

Let up peeps lol. I think she was just attesting to the fact that he’s not necessarily known as guitarist/front man as much as he is a legendary producer songwriter lol.
He will always be a legend

Love the Orchestra. Sad ... destroyed everything.
Face
I feel that orchestra was a little much. Beautiful though!
sax player is influenced by Kenny G ,which is good!
why u cacpase?
The band kinda mess up there 4 a minute was I the only one caught it
The orchestra was cool for a second but it actually takes away feeling from this song. Especially those annoying trills.didnt fit at all. I prefer him with a guitar only on this song
The orchestra totally ruined this song
