excited Got "If this world were mine" playing in my head now.


*sorry can't do YT right now*



"If This World Were Mine"
(with Cheryl Lynn)

If this world were mine
I would place at your feet
All that I own
You've been so good to me
If this world were mine

I'd give the flowers the birds and the bees
And it'd be your love beside me
That would be all I need
If this world were mine
I'd give anything

If this world were mine
I would make you a king
With wealth untold
You could have anything
If this world were mine

I'd give your each day so sunny and blue
And if you wanted the moonlight
I'd give you that too
If this world were mine, oh, baby
I'd give you anything

Oh, baby, you're my inspiration
And there's no hesitation
When you want me
Honey, just call me, oh

Oh, baby, your are my consolation
And I feel so much sensation
When I'm in your arms
When you squeeze me

Oh, the way that you do
Oh...the way that you love me, boy
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, the way that you do
Ooh, the way that you love me

Oh...oh...every sky will be blue
As long as your loving me, baby (Ooh....)
Whoa...whoa...ho...
When I'm in your arms
Life is so wonderful, my love

Oh...oh...give me pretty lovin', baby
Give me pretty lovin', honey
Keep on lovin' me, baby
Whoa...oh...oh...
You know I need you, honey
You know I need you, baby
Keep on loving me

Lovin' me the way (The way) you do (You do, oh)
My love
I love the way that you, the way that you love me, baby
Oh...and I don't wanna let you go, wanna let you, wanna let you go, my love, no
I love the way, the way that you love me, baby
Mmm...ooh...
You know (Woo...hoo...)
The world, the world would be yours
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah...hea... (Mmm...hmm...)
Yes, it would (Yes, it would)
The world would be yours (Yeah)
Baby (Baby)
Ooh...hoo...
It would be yours
If you'll believe

Probably my favorite love song of all time:



(I thought Hines ever so slightly outshined Vandross)

Wasn't he on the record for saying that his personal favorite from his catalog was "So Amazing" or "Any Love"? I can't remember....

you're right...IMO he had the greatest voice of any male singer ever...no disrespect to Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Nat King Cole, Marvin Gaye, or Sam Cooke...but Luther was so effortless in his approach...not alot a vocal acrobatics and histrionics and screaming ... no over the top machismo, or sexuality, or pimpery...even the two most important people in his his band (Nat Adderly Jr., and Marcus Miller) were criminally underrated...people acknowledge Marcus Miller for his greatness on bass, but not enough credit goes to Nat Adderly Jr. for the way he accompanied Luther on piano/keyboards...he played such beautifully haunting, but minimalist keyboard lines, that they/he get overlooked easily...he might play just 3 or 4 notes in 2 bar frame but the melodies are so rich, that it propels Luther's already heavenly voice deep into the soul of the listener... the keyboard lines on "Better Love' and "See Me" are great examples of the subtle quiet genius of keyboardist Nat Adderly Jr....
