And to think, this very talented young MAN was once playing on the streets of Manhattan, with his Guitar Case open for change from listeners and passerby...how very blessed he really is! Love this song! :)
It's a wonderful unique, original style Stanley Jordan has and what a sound he produces from that guitar. I was lucky enough to see him perform live in a solo concert at the Queens Hall in Edinburgh, Scotland UK going back some years ago.
There'll be no darkness tonight Lady our love will shine Lighting the night Just put your trust in my heart And meet me in paradise Now is the time girl You're every wonder in this world to me A treasure time won't steal away So listen to my heart Lay your body close to mine Let me fill you with my dreams I can make you feel alright And baby through the years Gonna love you more each day So I promise you tonight That you'll always be the lady in my life Lay back in my tenderness Let's make this a night we won't forget Girl, I need your sweet caress Reach out to a fantasy Two hearts in the beat of ecstasy Come to me, girl And I will keep you warm Through the shadows of the night Let me touch you with my love I can make you feel so right And baby through the years Even when we're old and gray I will love you more each day 'Cause you will always be the lady in my life Stay with me I want you to stay with me
Best, is subjective.. Who's criteria? Someone once suggested to that Amy Winehouse was better than Chaka Khan, then again I don't value their opinion on the matter 😐👍
a 1986 Down Beat issue voted Jordan as new guitarist of Year. a long way from 1982 when Jordan stood at the mall corner near Princeton where he went to school (Princeton U, Class of 1981), playing his guitar, earning pocket money. by 1986, he got his first LP contract with then Blue Note label which specializes in high quality jazz........wow, 22 yrs ago...
and, in my case Alex Valencia, with Bradley Cooper by my side LOL I could die in a couple of hours and be perfectly fine with that. I'd die ridiculously happy.
Had the privilege to see Stan doing a solo act in Bangkok .He played the guitar and piano at the same time blew me away he did not say much that night he let his fingers do the talking ....A night to remember thx Stanley JJJJJJJJJ
So, I guess when someone makes the claim that Stanley Jordan has more talent in his right index finger than most guitarists - they mean it literally! A rare talent indeed - awesome.
I first heard him play this on a Blue Note cassette tape (remember those?) called Stanley Jordan Magic Touch. It is a couple of minutes shorter, but just as good. I also had the chance to see him play at UC Irvine in California many years ago. He is a magician on the guitar.
That was a great job of bass backup; he holds a nice tight groove all the way through the tune from beginning to end. This is a great song for training bass players to lay in the pocket and hold a groove.
Just heard a new version of this song on kjza in Atlanta.Sorry no one can touch Mr Jordans version .This man did this playing up on the neck of the guitar .He is the man
Wow i had heard this version ever since i was younger but i had no clue that Stanley Jordan did it. As if i wasnt already blown away from his music before.
Bernard Wright on the keys. Wright was touring at 13 years of age, played with Tom Browne (Funkin' For Jamaica) at 16, and had an album released when he was 17. Anyone remember "Just Chillin' Out"?
Yes I remember. We used to party together whenever they came in town. Saw Tom a few years ago, not since moving down south though. Bernard was writing/performing with other artists & I have not heard from him or seen him in over 20 years now.
Stanley Jordan is really one of the greatest guitar players of all time. If you know anything about the guitar 🎸 or how it's played, you can see why I'm saying this, not taking anything away from George Benson rendition; but this one is really done masterfully.
Keyboard solo, just time taken away from us hearing Stanley play. I caught Jordan in LA opening for Larry Carlton back in the day, as me and my guitar buddies all had to see in person this new original innovator that's revolutionizing the instrument.
Thank you fostexD160 for posting this video and thank you LOVEMESOMEMICHAEL for sharing this video as a favorite. How exciting it would have been to be in attendance at Stanley Jordan's concert. He and his band are overflowing with musical excellence."Lady in my life" is such a lovely and moving song. It's a joy to see this live performance!
@blambrax - You ain't lyin' about that, fam. Jordan's rendition on 'Magic Touch' is chill; this live version adds a smoky swerve that appeals even more. The Most High is great indeed; His gift of music to us is most appreciated, relished & honored. Peace, peoples
Of course he isn't George Benson, he's way more innovative. I love George and there isn't any reason to compare them. However, Stanley is a trained classical pianist. If you should ever get an opportunity to see him perform live you'll be in for a real treat. He plays the piano and guitar at the the same time. In freaking incredible and unbelievable!!!!!
You can't compare Stanley to GB that's absurd! GB comes out of the school of Wes Montgomery and Grant Green. Stanley is a bad brother no doubt but to say he's more innovative you must be smoking something!
Stanley Jordan’s skills as a guitarist: scarcely believable man. Guy is a genius
I bought his debut album in 85 when I was a senior in high school. What a incredible, electrifying performance!!!!
Thank you guys. It is beautiful and soothing. Remembering Him ❤❤❤❤❤💙💙💙💙💙👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I wonder how many people realize that was him at just 16 Funking For Jamaica with Tom Browne
To me, this epitomises the brilliance and power of CZcams...I had never even heard of Stanley Jordan for goodness sake.
What I wouldn't do to see him perform this live!! Wow! Continue RIHP Bernard Wright ( keyboardist)❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Un-believable that 4 guys can put out such incredible emotion, power, harmony... I lose myself every time I listen to this.
@@HolyRollerTV utter rubbish from a rap music fan
Truly unbelievable
@@xafiermichaels5413 A very gifted player,,,superb performance
ThnQ to Wes Montgomery and all his protege's filling our
World of Music!!!
A beautiful jazz version of " Lady in my Life " I'm very impressed!
Ruben I like this better than the original!!!!!
Fascinating
And to think, this very talented young MAN was once playing on the streets of Manhattan, with his Guitar Case open for change from listeners and passerby...how very blessed he really is! Love this song! :)
The supporting band is amazing on this track. Totally into it, doing amazing work supporting Stanley.
Great music and sound is the peace to the world they are both superb, and I enjoy the awesome music 🎶 😊
he always did an amazingly beautiful Lady In My Life, ever since 1985.
This is better than the original version of Michael Jackson!!!!!!!
Oh yes. My husband really loved playing his music I can see why. Absolutely amazing talent
One of the greatest songs of all time. Thank you.
Michael is loving this from Heaven!!!
This version of this song was recorded many years before MJ passed away. MJ had to give him permission to record it. You can be sure he heard it 😊.
It's a wonderful unique, original style Stanley Jordan has and what a sound he produces from that guitar. I was lucky enough to see him perform live in a solo concert at the Queens Hall in Edinburgh, Scotland UK going back some years ago.
There'll be no darkness tonight
Lady our love will shine
Lighting the night
Just put your trust in my heart
And meet me in paradise
Now is the time girl
You're every wonder in this world to me
A treasure time won't steal away
So listen to my heart
Lay your body close to mine
Let me fill you with my dreams
I can make you feel alright
And baby through the years
Gonna love you more each day
So I promise you tonight
That you'll always be the lady in my life
Lay back in my tenderness
Let's make this a night we won't forget
Girl, I need your sweet caress
Reach out to a fantasy
Two hearts in the beat of ecstasy
Come to me, girl
And I will keep you warm
Through the shadows of the night
Let me touch you with my love
I can make you feel so right
And baby through the years
Even when we're old and gray
I will love you more each day
'Cause you will always be the lady in my life
Stay with me
I want you to stay with me
Will NEVER, EVER tire of this hit!! 💘
Two greats on one stage: Stanley Jordan & Bernard Wright ( RIHP)!!
YESSSSSS!
Everything about this song is amazing....the drums mesmerize me
Anyone who says GB (George Benson) was better?.......Come on. This is insane. They both are among the greatest. Its like Ferrari or a Lamborghini!
They're both good. 2 different styles.
Yeah 2 different styles!...but I'm sure both respect each others styles!...but imo i like George's style a little bit more!
@@willa9791 All good. There's room for many, many geniuses. It's a very big planet!!! :)
@@bottleforty1 Yes different styles but still effective

I still love listening to this smooth Jazz
I wish I was listening to this song in a boat out to sea with wine and full moon
and, in my case Alex Valencia, with Bradley Cooper by my side LOL I could die in a couple of hours and be perfectly fine with that. I'd die ridiculously happy.
Some cheese and grapes with that wine?
I never knew who did this song until now. Where the hell have I been. Stanley Jordan rocks. Thanks for posting this, what a beautiful song.
Stanley Jordan has an amazingly beautiful album MAGIC TOUCH 1985. this song was on it.
Soooo, smooth, this piece by Jordan and his crew is genius!! Love his studio and the live version here..outstanding..thanks for posting!
Had the privilege to see Stan doing a solo act in Bangkok .He played the guitar and piano at the same time blew me away he did not say much that night he let his fingers do the talking ....A night to remember thx Stanley JJJJJJJJJ
NO DISLIKES ALLOWED. This is a talent GRIP.
Its been 45 years and I'm still waiting for him to let go.
Do the DAMNED THANG, Stanley & Bernard!!❤❤❤
Please! This is awsome. What a performance!
Just an outstanding song. Brilliant!! Stanley Jordan is a fantastic smooth jazz musician!!
I saw this video most 40 times in 2 days
My goodness, this man is fantastic. I want to step my guitar game way up after watching this.
A classic never dies!!!!

I still have this cassette tape, as well as his follow up Flying Home. Man...the nostalgia...
I still have the first press vinyl!
This is music 🇨🇮
That was a great job of bass backup; he holds a nice tight groove all the way through the tune from beginning to end. This is a great song for training bass players to lay in the pocket and hold a groove.
I love how Stanley plays it differently each time, and every version is amazing. Pure musical genius.
Fera da guitarra 🎸 Stanley Jordan é uns dos melhores do mundo 🌍
Stanley Jordan and band were killing it with the funk excellent tempo. 👍🎶🎸
This Brother's got it going on. Word up to Stan "the man"
Fantastic and wonderful performance by Stanley Jordan and his "Vigier Arpege" guitar, playing "Lady in my life, in New York city
Just came across this looking for a bass cover but I stayed bc this is amazing👏
Just heard a new version of this song on kjza in Atlanta.Sorry no one can touch Mr Jordans version .This man did this playing up on the neck of the guitar .He is the man
just heard it on Pandora in my car.. now the clip here on you tube.. Lady in my life is awesome groovy!!!!
Um guitarrista excepcional!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Stanley é :
MA-RA-VI-LHO-SO ! AMO!
Pure badness. Lovely groove
My goodness, the silky smoothness!
That late 80s early 90s synth sound.
Taaaakes me back to my life as a single mingling man.
Stanley Jordan is amazing...Bernard Wright (on keyboards) did a song called "Who Do You Love?" it's on youtube..
that distinctive sound of the synth in the intro was widely used from 85 to the early 90s...

As a quasi pianist, Bernard kills it!
Yes I remember. We used to party together whenever they came in town. Saw Tom a few years ago, not since moving down south though. Bernard was writing/performing with other artists & I have not heard from him or seen him in over 20 years now.
I do still have the CD, master rocker track
I remember Bernard Wright's album in 1981
i had that album 1981. Put it on cassette
I stumbled on to Stanley Jordan music trying to search for some Stanley Clarke “back in the 80’s” in the record store.. been a HUGE fan every since..
FULL OF LIGHT THIS YOUNG MAN

BELLISSIMA MUSICA , GRAZIE , CIAO
I put this album on cassette Winter 1985
I have never seen anything like this before all I can say is WOW!!!!
Maestro de la guitarra, y su técnica de tocar la guitarra con los dedos de la mano derecha y no con púa, infinitamente bendecido Stanley Jordan
Timeless! Would love to have been there! 💋 🍷
Smooth as Teflon coated glass… but the intensity still burns underneath. 🔥🔥🔥
@DunhillHilton Absolutely! My favorite song of this album by far.
I was just going to agree and then I noticed I wrote this comment 12 years ago! 😂
Notice how keyboard player looks at the drummer at 6:00 as if to say "I'm done with my solo."
@blambrax - You ain't lyin' about that, fam. Jordan's rendition on 'Magic Touch' is chill; this live version adds a smoky swerve that appeals even more. The Most High is great indeed; His gift of music to us is most appreciated, relished & honored. Peace, peoples
Prince little brother on bass
smooth! Very nice....
Ainda continua......sempre será . Que musicalidade !! Além da técnica impressionante
RIP to the legendary Bernard Wright. Wow this music is so dope.
Wow ! I just now noticed that is Bernard wright on keys
let it speak for itself
nasro music to me is a gift from god it moves my soul
Outrageous
Yeah, I saw him in Montclair New Jersey in 1992 at trumpets. He did a smokin version of this tune. Amazing.
Michael was still alive when this was uploaded. So sad!
Of course he isn't George Benson, he's way more innovative. I love George and there isn't any reason to compare them. However, Stanley is a trained classical pianist. If you should ever get an opportunity to see him perform live you'll be in for a real treat. He plays the piano and guitar at the the same time. In freaking incredible and unbelievable!!!!!
divingchicago I remember. I saw him perform in Fort Lauderdale several years ago. Great concert.
Indeed he is!...ahead of his time!
You can't compare Stanley to GB that's absurd! GB comes out of the school of Wes Montgomery and Grant Green. Stanley is a bad brother no doubt but to say he's more innovative you must be smoking something!
