He shared the story on a live video, and this song is behind a story his grandmother shared with him, about his biological grandfather. Please check it out ☺

I would turn off the lights in my bedroom sit on the floor and play this tune just melt into the music. It took me about 10 -15 minutes to come back...tears streaming down my face. Truly otherworldly.

This brother was quite the mentor during my fatherless upbringing, but I'm good now.

This song leads me to think of my father who passed away in 2015. REST IN PARADISE MR. EDWARD LEE LANE SR. I often listen to this tune and think of the wisdom he left with me.....A generation gone. Beautiful song!

Saw Ronnie perform this in 1980 with my then boyfriend. We got married and had it played at our wedding. Our son is now a man and has left home....we didn't realise how meaningful it would be but it struck a chord with both of us all those years ago.. I cannot listen to it without a few tears 😢

First time hearing this it is so beautiful. My boyfriend sent it to me

Ronnie wrote this song for today as well as yesterday

another classic music worth sharing

This BROTHER is so DEEP, listening to music like this and watching the sunset and living the dream, and wondering what else could sing that's so beautiful. may Ronnie make songs like this in the future. God bless him. The brother is truly talented.

Yes, Mr Laws is So Deep ❤ This Tune is Majestic! As I age, I play the tune to the younger generation in my family Simply Spiritual and The Truth😢❤❤

Ronnie Laws at his best, from a gem of an album too, every track is a bona fide winner, this 1980 smooth Jazz set crossovers to all musical genres, it leaves you wanting more, truly touching Every Generational Soul out there, from an album that you never want to end

Aside from FRIENDS AND STRNGERS, ALWAYS THERE, and TIDAL WAVE, this song was my ALL TIME FAVORITE from Mr. Laws!!

I purchased this track when I was age 19. I am age 58 today 27.9.2019

absolutely this is called the best sounds in music. In our state of Utah, I don't really hear this music anywhere. I have happened upon it just by looking for music that is worth listening to. I have much respect for artists that gave us the tunes that we play over and over. Let the music live on!

This 77 song shares wisdom. It’s about what we know, understand, yet do to insure no one knows the truth if it’s not in our favor. Trust - everyone has hid their heart and played that game. For me and my house, there is only one who is known righteous.

If I ever get married I want this played at my wedding.

Multiple talent sir Ronnie laws,the voice the the saxophone the key board,dums bass,back up singer perfect all, mabuhay from Philippines,

"Child is born within the master plan. Boy grows up, leaves his home to be a man ..." This song always brings back the memory of my girlhood crush from when I was only 12 ... He was 14, big luscious fro, beautiful almond shaped brown eyes, smooth golden skin, and the most kissable lips and captivating smile that arrested my heart from the first moment I saw him. I never could've known back then that our paths were destined to cross again just 10 years later. That gorgeous man truly became the love of my life. Our shared love of soulful music, art, poetry, travel, laughter, and great food made me fall completely in love with him. No man has ever made me feel the way he did. Sometimes a profoundly great love comes around only once in a lifetime. Although we can never go back, I will always cherish the love we shared when we were young .. when I was his and he was mine.🌠

A very powerful song, makes you think about your path in life! I love Ronnie Laws, His song Solid ground is the reason why I love Jazz Music.
