Slow Jam of the Day: "Sweet Baby" by Stanley Clarke and George Duke (1981)

Y'all remember the summer of '81,when this tender ballad was all over the radio? It's a beautiful song by two very talented musicians who decided to collaborate with each other.



"Sweet Baby" by Stanley Clarke and George Duke

(piano intro)



When I think about your lovin'
the sunny evenings,the fun we used to share
looking through the memories in my head
Since I've laughed and cried and thought it over
now I realize
That it's never over,only set aside


(chorus)
Oh,it's you,sweet baby
I will never be free from your embrace,sweet baby
Only hopin' it's not too late to try again
It's you,sweet baby
every lie has been captured by your smile,sweet baby
I will always be right there by your side,right by your side

Lyin' here alone,I'm dreamin'
my mind keeps wonderin',my thoughts are only you
wanderin' through the memories in my mind
How could love so real have turned so empty,I just keep wonderin' why
Will I ever find the love we shared,together you and I?

(chorus)
Oh,it's you,sweet baby
though we had such a long hard road to climb,sweet baby
only hopin' it's not too late to try again
It's you,sweet baby
Won't you try and believe in what I say,sweet baby
I will always be right there by your side,right by your side

(guitar solo)

Oh,it's you,sweet baby
I will never be free from your embrace,sweet baby
only hopin' it's not too late to try again
It's you,sweet baby
Every lie has been captured by your smile,sweet baby
I will always be right there by your side,right by your side...

We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.

This song is a BEAUTIFUL piece of music by two of my favorites. Both of them are geniuses, but get no props. As a multi-instrumentalist, Stanley Clarke is badder than Prince. Jazz cats are almost always under rated in the music game.

Me and my boy Brian used to argue.. which is a better slow jam...

Sweet Baby or Heaven Sent (with Howard Hewett)

Glad somebody sees MY SIDE for a change!
