I love it!
@NEXPAR Her last name is Norwood.
@bshakara1 I so agree with you saying that he has a sound similar to Sylvester. Both the similar and at the same time so different.
tom hardy-makin it last
tune, even now… timeless..
Real music, this is how real artist displayed their natural talents with ease. This brotha’s voice is pure and clean.
Keith also sung, “Tell me this ain’t heaven. I’m not sure which album it is on. It is a great cut.
You are so right that it has WBLS written all over it. On spring break 1977 or 78 my college roommate invited me to go to Mt.Vernon,NY. This is where I first heard the song, and many other hits before they reached Nashville Tennessee.
This may be the original sample for Tom Hardy & 9th Wonder “Make it Last”!!!!!
I met Keith when I was 16 at my father house, He was really nice, we exchanged number and we would call each other and talk about church, singing. I’m glad I had the pleasure of knowing him
This brother had such wonder chops and an incredible range. “I ‘ve searched so many rainbows trying to find the answer.”
His voice reminds me so much/or similar to Sylvester e extremely talented and gone too soon.
David Oliver was another who died too soon shortly after his hits Ms. and I Want To Write You A Love Song. I am so glad I found those songs!!!!!!!
Unfortunately there is a Reggae cover by Dennis Brown – it did not work for me – and an R&B cover by Premium. That version is anything but premium!
What is Brandy’s last name. Not sure who that is.
I liked this joint when I was in high school. There were no videos then. I found out how he died reading Jet magazine. I didn’t know.
let’s get back to 1978 to be happy again
WOW!!!! I have been talking about this joint for a long time and to my amazement some folk have never heard of Keith or this fabulous cut. Thanks for putting it out there!!
Keith really got down on this one and “Turn Me Up” was good too. He is the son of Willie Barrow, Rev. of Operation Push in Chicago. He passed away in the same Hospital my mother was in and I remember how groups of folks prayed for Keith. He was one talented little brother but his mother wanted him to sing in the church.
My God wickeddd
im mad young but i love this song!
Yes back in the early 80’s. He was in the process of working on another album before he passed away.
Actually on the inside sleeve of the album he gives thanks to the group Enchanment. They are the ones that sing “Gloria”.
Also it list Brandy as background vocal and Detroit Symphony for String arrangement. I tell they don’t make music like this anymore.
I loved him 30 years ago…..I hate to ask this – as I have lost touch..but has he passed away….I loved him when I was a teenager.his voice then and now is classic
Chi towns own Keith barrows. 29 was just too young for the talent this brother had. I was 10 yrs old when this song was out. I believe it was the summer of 1977? It seems like music and times were so much slower.
timeless ….priceless
