Alexander O'neal - If You Were Here Tonight

http://www.youtube.com/wa...ZY1B8ZgP8E

If You Were Here Tonight is my favorite song by AO. I never knew that there was a video for the song.

Although I love me some Alexander O, his ass was wrong for overacting the way that he did in that video. lol


every night alone I just wait here anticipating
for the day I won't feel this pain baby
please don't keep me waiting
come to meeee
if you were here tonight
oh girl
be by my side
if you were with me now
girl this bed's too big
for me, for me to be in
all alone...

He should definitely hook up with Jam & Lewis again. I´ll never understand why people change the team when the chemistry is perfect. Never change a winning team, except when your name is Prince.

Jody Watley and Andre Cymone were cool.
SOS-Band with Jam & Lewis.
Alexander O´Neal and Jam & Lewis
and so on .

But I guess personal difficulties or the urge to explore different fields are often too big to overcome.
Anyway, I miss that kinda sound and I doubt that they can recreate it today. Still, it would be nice if they made another album together.

That whole cd is cool! They should release everything Alex recorded at Flyte Tyme. Was "The Secret" playing the music on "innocent"?
