    It’s sad the current generation is not going to appreciate this wonder. If he was born a couple of generations earlier he would be a superstar. Love this mans voice. Wonderful song.

      I agree and really even the older generations in late 30s and 40s still struggling in general appreciating let alone giving or showing love like this which is sad smh Tired of having to be on the defense for myself it would be a beautiful and RELIEVING thing to be actually safe in some arms and chest to lay on and just feel safe, loved (with some good suga 😩) and like dats ME and he bs free! 😂😩🤦🏽‍♀️ I miss that kinda love it’s been so longggg lawd fix itttt 🙏🏽💯💓

      I play this song over and over. The video on u-tube is better, he can truly sing. He reminds me of my favorite singer Prince. When he sang on black girls rock I was HOOKED!

    Luke poured his heart into this song. It should have been a big hit. My son Eric Hudson produced and co-wrote this song and I played guitar on it. Sadly the music industry doesn't want real R&B today. When I spoke to Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak in Vegas, they said it was very hard for them to keep doing old school R&B music. I'm glad to see some people are appreciating this music. We need more and more people onboard to save R&B music. Trust me, there are a lot of talented R&B singers and producers out there who can't break mainstream. They just need the support of people like you in these comments. My son produced and co-wrote Trey Songz song "All This Love", which did well but should have been bigger too. HELP SAVE R&B!!!!!!

Neither of them had heard it yet. SMDH. Damn shame when a 65 y/o granddad is jamming to a relatively new cut before his grandkids have even heard it. Still haven't heard it on the Chicago stations. This should go triple or quadruple platinum. I know more Boomers who love this song than young folks.
