Lyrics:
Hit the town in the cold of the night
Looking round for the
Warmth of the light
There was fog all around
So I guess no one saw me arriving
I was tired and awake for some time
Then my lights hit a welcoming sign
It said if you're alone
You can make this your home
If you want to
Owwww
Searchin, searchin (for so long)
Searchin (searchin)
Searchin, searchin (i
Just wanted to dance)
Searchin
Stepped outta the night
It was brighter inside
Someone come and asked me my name
Taken back by surprise
What I saw with my eyes
A girl in a love's disguise
She said stop! stop! stop!
Get out your heart
Haven't got a lot
But play the part
Mister stop! stop! stop!
Get out your heart
What I've got's hot stuff
The night is ours
Coffee glass that had
Fell from my hand
Like a child couldn't
Quite understand
What was I doin' there
Far away from nowhere
On my own
I was tired and awake for some time
Just the light playing
Tricks with my mind
Was she there in a crowd
Was the music too loud
Was I dreaming
Searchin, searchin (for so long)
Searchin (i don't want
Romance I just want my
Chance searchin)
Searchin, searchin (yeah)
Searchin
Just came by here by chance
Only wanted to dance,
No news, no her, no, no, no one
Taken back by surprise
What's in front of my eyes
This girl in a love's disguise
She said stop! stop! stop!
Get out your heart
Haven't got a lot
But play the part
Mister stop! stop! stop!
Get out your heart
What I've got's hot stuff
The night is ours

I'm 67 years old
And this song still sends shivers down my back 70s early 80s were the best
No question fam
The very same here!!
I've got original 12"
I'm 44 and I was 5 when I first heard it and was hooked btw I still have my mom's copy of this album on 8 track tape! And sounds as good as it did back in her grand prix she drove back then
1-1-2024... Happy New Year everyone!
Luther is one of the greatest male vocalist of our time. His voice was golden. Never b another one like him.
Not just our times but all time.. I mean the brother was blessed with a voice undeniable....
Truth!!
Exactly 💯
Facts truth
I WAS Thinking That Very $AME Thing Just the Other Day this Beautiful Summer 24'❣️ 💗🎉
How can 549 people thumb down this tune. An absolute classic. Long live Luther.
All of them no one type of music! Dumb music!! They don't know great music or singers!!
Cuz they have no souls an do not truly understand what real music is about... May the music gods have mercy on their souls. This is true music personified.. that man man's voice was blessed by the Gods themselves. We didn't truly understand what an honor and privilege it was to be raised in this Era. Truly iconic and that's to small of a word 👏🥰❤ they listening to some good music in heaven right now..
Those that thumbed down know no better!!
Tone deaf is my theory
Luther rocked
That bass line is hypnotic!
i love that hypnotic bass line.
Luther Vandross was a once in a lifetime vocalist! Don't get me wrong, the music is truly EXCEPTIONAL but Luther's voice is impeccable!
One of his backing vocalists was none other than Ms. Lisa Fischer, she is a once in a lifetime vocalist, too! @L.I.S.A.F.I.S.C.H.E.R.
Its 2024 how many people still have this on there Playlist ???
Hi yes u have im now 54 yrs old its great😊😊😊❤
Привет 2024 !
It's a must have ❤❤
8/15/2024 🎶🧡💥💛
This song is almost 40 yrs old!!! It’s still on 🔥🔥🔥!!!!
I am always surprised at how long the songs were back in the day. And we STAYED on the dance floor for the entire song!
Yes we did!
They were good with content thats why , I we t to earth wind & fire gig the support couldnt play , luther vandross this singer filled in on his own , quality , if yu can ever get to a EWF gig just do it , my only complaint was it was so barmily good I couldnt enjoy it enough , unbelievable .
I'm still dancing!
I never left the floor!!🥰🥰
It wasn't about bling and we didn't have shit else to do
This is the ultimate disco track. It has everything, pulsating bass and the honey voice of Luther, what is no to like??
Luther and Will Downing had incredible voices!
Carol, yes indeed!
I have always said they sound alike!
No duh.
Will Downing forgot about him
Compliments precisely ascribed to the two crooners.
Everlasting ❤️ Luther. Thank you for the sounds. R.I.P. ❤️
Still listening to this 2021 💖with my kids because they don’t know what GREAT music is unless we show them!!! 💖💖Luther Vandross is just amazing 🤩
Me to my favourite my older kids even love it now and no the words
Nicky, still listening in 2022 and will always listen to Luther, RIP...
Always listening to Luther. Great music never goes out of style
Truth
Luther is the best ❤️❤️
Oh, good Lord..... What club am I in?...... Where am I?..... What year is this?..... Please don't let this kind of music ever stop..... xXx
Have no fear, this cut is Eternal
Even my kids love this song in 2022. Where did iconic music like this go? Fantastic song. Never tire of listening x
It was always about the $ but as long as artists kept producing $ they were allowed to exist. When the "suits" became totally involved with music production, A&R went out the window and pop became "cookie cutter" mass produced "dreck," for the most part. There is a limited amount of songwriters and actual musicians working for major labels today. Why pay people when there is Pro Tools? Today music is almost always about the $ and short on originality. Which is why many people market their music online or on social media, avoiding the "music industry" and the streaming services. There is good music but you have to search for it.
There's no uniqueness in "singers" today. And then there's confused people like Little NazX, nevermind. Y'all get my point.
Sad.
I get chills listening to this one. Luther's voice, the bass, the percussion. It's all sick........
This, and Luther's voice, send chills down my spine!! It's quite close to being a perfect song. 40 years later and I still love it.
It is still what a tune soul in the sun brilliant
the only tune that beats this is.... Sexual healing!
All day long
Soul Solar Family rising forever😊
You will never here a voice like that again, absolutely brilliant 🎉🎉
💥😱 Boom! Sheila E was on this track & I never knew! Remember when this came out!
Wooow never knew this but I do hear her actually thanks music head💪🏾
Which verse
she did not sing on it, she played an instrument, the timbalas.
I remember coming out of my building I was like 12, this guy was blasting this out of his car and I was blown away by this song and it took my a while to find out what this song was but I found it. Life is good. I always revisit this tune and things move positive after listening to it.
I was riding the A train out of Brooklyn when this song was out brings back memories..Luther was truly Great....with a perfect voice...R.I.P LV.
Sitting in Ireland, take you to the same , a beautiful place 😊
If you never went to a dance club in the 70s, you will never know the power of that eras music. People lost their minds to this track. On the dance floor there was no rent, work or drama of any kind. It was just JOY!
THE REAL DEAL!
My life, love and total happiness was on the dance floor. It was hard to take a night off in S.F. during the mid, late '70's. OH MY, the Troc, I-Beam, Music Box, Dreamland, etc. The etc. can go on for days.
Ed Vega love that!!!
Ed Vega thanks for remembering
and the party didn't start until after everyone met in the train stations about 1am.. Brooklyn trains A C E to Broadway Nassau.....found our way to the Village!! Buttermilk Bottom, The Paradise Garage!!
This is a sexy ass song. Luther Vandross you knew exactly what you were doing with this one brother. Rest in peace always
This an Time For Love (BB&Q)

@@lashturner9725 this was the jammmm walking into the club looking good and enjoying yourself
He wasn’t with the group long, but while he was with it he really made them popular! Joined the group in early 1980 and went back on his own later the same year. I run a group for Luther Vandross music lovers and they are all around the world. It just shows that good taste in music isn’t limited to any particular area.
@@roslyndavis8084 qq
The Forever Jam ... Rest well Sir Vandross .... Glad I got to see maestro in concert.
i cannot believe he is dead . what a voice that man had
This song is beautiful! Love the warm melody and the repetitive pulse -- and that off the chain, surprise sax solo! This Luther at his best! Now THIS is music!
I was blown away by this song and Luther’s so unique voice, I instantly became a fan of Luther and Change
THAT'S WHERE LUTHER LET EVERYBODY KNOW HE'S WAS A MASTER AT HIS CRAFT
Yep!
Like a great painter.
Yes he was.
I got a glimpse in his KFC and Burger King commercials and his backup work - as well as Young Americans and The Wiz - but these two songs on that album made me fall in love.
It was a revelation to hear him stretch out. Still is!
I just turned 57 and I can honestly say since I heard this when it was released till now It is still superb,makes me dance like I am a young lad
A lot of parents don't know it's their job to pass on the music. This is one hot tune.
You are so on target! No wonder some of our youth today do not understand nor enjoy positive lyrics or really good music. "Music is the Key of Life." As so profoundly said & sung by Mr. Stevie Wonder many years ago.
Proud to say that my three kids have been exposed to all genres of music and they love it! everything from classical to jazz to reggae to soul to heavy metal!
All I know is, if you give them different genres of music from different ages you will find them looking back to the old music, listening to it and growing to love it.
U got one problem when your mother is 25 and you're 12
Passed my love of 'great' music to my children...x
THIS WAS THEE SONG that let me know this guy was going to be special. His vocal range, and his range of emotion just grabs you. You don't LISTEN to Luther. You FEEL Luther. RIP Luther, greatest R&B vocalist since David Ruffin.
I also heard Luther Vandross on Change. I had walked into a record bar and glow of love was playing and I said "what an amazing voice" I bought the record and my journey for the love of Luther began. To this day am in love with this man and his music. Rip Mr Velvet Voice. 11/12/22
This did me way back and it still does and I'm 65 soon. Was lucky to see and hear this great man. Love from England 🇬🇧❤♥💙💕
Proper tune, the man was class,
I'm allmost your age heard it in new York first on holiday
@@dannymay1963 well said have a great day
А я из далёкого Казахстан а ,ты мой друг ,хоть из далёкой ,планеты ,мне никогда не побывать у вас я нищий.
А мне 67 я из далёкого 2033
An Absolutely Majestic Classic From An Era Of Amazing Music.
This Is A Supreme Standout Example.
Cheers 🍻 👏 ✌️ 🥂 For This Brilliant Memory. ❤❤❤.
8 minutes and seven seconds of pure bliss.
MrBmic Too short in my opinion.
Yes
You are so right. There are some long songs or extended versions of a song that I just can't take. They usually do nothing but repeat the same thing over and over for the last 4 mins. But this, I can listen to on constant repeat. Just so smooth and nostalgic.
Yesss
You better believe it!
This never gets old. Still jamming in 2020.
I love this Song... I still. Have
the Album... This was Luther's Best Work... S.I.P. 🙏💐🙏
whos still listening in 2020 simply one of the greatest club songs of all time..Was she there in a crowd
Was the music too loud, was I dreaming
28 May 2021!
Me listening everyday to this tune it's so Ra Ra Ra...to Igotgame.... Forget the game listen to the tune dude.lol. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Where U at... sound like u know classic's...🎶🎶🎶
23 years old, discovered this just now. I was born in the wrong era.
There will no one that can replace the Lutheran that we lost
I’m 23, My dad is the one that got me hooked to old school music like this. I could never be more grateful that he did tht❤❤❤❤
Music now is totally forgettable and unforgettably dreadful all at the same time.
Your dads got good taste ❤
@@antanayaharris3897 you have great. Day
Just the light playing tricks with my mind 🕺🏼💃🏻
Love those background singers! They can carry a tune too! Perfect back up to vandross!
Number 1 Album in Dance Charts 1980. Every song was a Top charter.
This collaboration with Change is what propelled his superstar solo career. The only other vocalist who blew me away first time hearing was Barry White. I was like “who the hell is he?” He’s different🔥
Luther............ still the man 💋
Always and forever
Indeed!!!! ❤️
Another Exclusive!!!!80s Sounds!!! Still here!!2022!!! & Beyond!!!!😍😄😄😄😄
That got Damn!!! Luther. There is no other. R.I.P. my brother.
This song takes me back to a wonderful period in time, when 'URBAN' families got together and had parties, cookouts, before the toxins (heavy drugs and crime) came into the communities and changed everything forever.
I was very young then, yes this is upsetting, however I can remember the good times of the 1980s where we had cooking, water fights and went to each others house daily.
Bro they were hitting the drugs hard back then too
I really miss those times
This is one of the first songs to really get me into soul/R&B. I remember hearing it on Robbie Vincent's Sunday night soul show here in the UK when I was a kid. He used to play this and "The Glow of Love" from the same album, which I also love.
Luther, man how do we miss his voice.
Omar Sutton Why? It's hear for you to hear right now! How the hell can you miss it? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
told my students....i was raised on THE BEST.......THESES CATS CANT SANG NOWADAYS
I love all of luther s music my mother had a few of his albums this song has a monster beat to it RIP ms.Dorothy mae Howard an luther vandross
This is that real real good music when people where true to the game
when people sang of love and hope and unity also.
What game?
TRUE THAT !!!
Yesssssssss
Yep, Luther was an amazing man and the best voice around . He such awesome!
Luther. Still fire in 2019.
2020 2021 -3921 3922
@@martinwright9238 still on fire 2021
Takes me back to the best of times, music, dance, and joy
I love that never ending bass line
This song has a certain haunting quality
This was played towards closing most nights at the San Francisco Club in Coconut Grove late 70's along with Lovers Holiday. That's when I bought the album, and have loved Luther's voice since.
This is a Classic.
The drums were WICKED!!!!
Looove this song! When I was a little girl my dad used to play this song so much, now it's on my play list and I play it over and over. RIH Dad, I love and miss you! ❤
Incredible music… brings me back to my clubbing days in the late 70’s and 80’s
I was in the Army when this came out on the album. I STILL remember the feeling this track gave me back then. Looking back now it all makes sense. We were all witnessing the birth of a mega-superstar in Luther Vandross.
thats music, R.I.P. Luther!
there will never be another voice like this.....
That's right!
Will Downing
Back in the 80’s when I was alone searching for love from family friends everyone and nothing came apart from this tune which gave me hope! ❤️
Watching old TOTP’s and this is in the 1980 charts. Luther you absolute legend. I was very blessed to see him live. I was devastated when you left us. RIP you beautiful man ❤️
Man how I wish I could travel back in time these songs were absolutely the best. RIP 🙏
This song has to be one the greatest hits by Luther......This is a song you can drive late at night listening to while getting home. You can just picture everything he’s expressing in this masterpiece. I just love the bars in this one. RIP Mr Vandross. He was just a wonderful spirit in the 80’s and 90’s music of R&B.
I'm 22 and love this song my grandmother played this all the time and my parents did too..My grandma taught me how to dance to song around like 5 years old
Ewwwwwww
Dope!
@@ajtowin thanks
SO SICK!!! Rest in peace Luther!!!
That bassline, though!
This band with luther vandross was superb, still listen to this and all of there music now ,happy days
The genius of soul music
Luther was certainly letting everyone know he had arrived!! My sophomore year in college hangin' with my girl just vibing to this jam...Luther carrying the night, such awesome memories. One of the greatest male vocalists of our time, so sorry that he left us, a true gift he really was.
Ah, in the spring/summer of 1980 dancing in the discos of NY 5-6 nights a wk till 4am. Great memories, now a Grandma. RIP Luther, I'll always ❤ you & will listen & dance to your music till the day I die.
The master - one of the most distinctive voices ever - lucky to have seen him 3 times before he passed. This song has everything, pure class....
I heard this at the start of a radio program this morning in Jamaica and when I reached worked I had to find it and listen again. The momentum the song starts with is so powerful!
I am also from Jamaica. I was thirteen (13 ) years old when this album came out. To me, it was the greatest album made then and continues to rank as one of the greatest album of all time.
2019 who still listening.
I wish I could go back to those days... OMG....
Anthony I'm still listening in 2020. Oh Yeah!!!!!!
Drink my coffee n blayze up with this on the way to work!!
IAM and I will stop listen too this old school music ,disco , R&B or just smooth meaningful love songs we have the best music era of all
Keeping me up beat and smiling through world pandemic, April 2020.
when you heard those Lead vocals. You knew that guy would be star!!
OMG! That bass still sounds so awesome.
Wow, what a mountain of emotions this song inspires: nostalgia and contemporary, soul and ballad, dance and reflection,etc.
Great arrangement. Slamming back beat and bass riff decorated with the great Sheila E. on Timbales and draped with great vocals and the incomparable Luther VanDross and the always killer sax. Outstanding.
What?? I didn't know that
Sheila E. was on this track... Thanks for sharing that info.
Wow. Also, Had no idea Sheila was on this track!!
@@Dee-fi1lx yes she was!
@@KamLife1 I just asked that question I was thinking it was Sheila E. but wasn't sure
I'm not sure you are correct about Sheila E. playing on this. Could you cite your references please?
This My Jam~ R.I.P. Luther Vandross~
This is when music took you to another place. I rember when Luther does those voice overs for on saturday mornings talking about the government and so on. I enjoyed that. I wish that i could play them for my grand children. Miss you Luther Vandross!!
Time for a disco revival ...beats today's music by a country mile.
A brilliant album, with a magical, dreamy vibe, featuring major artists. Just a classic album. I wore this LP out as a kid.
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song. Kept asking who the singer was and a DJ at the old London Victory club in Philly showed me the album cover. I went out the next day and bought the album and still have it to this day. Brilliant
The Old London Victory club??? Omg....used to go there all the time...do you remember there used to be a girl flying around on a trapeze or something of that nature? I loved it there n loved the Kennel Club later on when new wave started taking off...assuming you're from the Philly area...love it...I am also...fly eagles fly
Rest in power....I can still see my aunt's and cousins dancing to this in my grandmother's living room...
What an Icon of music!! Totally agree Yes we go need to show our children what music really is. If you can't feel it that's when it's great music !
How is this stuff sooooooo much better than everything else? It’s official the 70’s was the greatest decade for music ever.
Awesome - - forever!
My Mum used to play this when it came out, as a very small kid this song was just magic to me, that bass coming out of the little speakers and that voice soaring. Songs like this, The Glow Of Love, Off The Wall, Give Me The Night, Masterblaster (Jamming), wow, that's a musical education right there.
She must've been a music guru of 1980 huh.
Keep on talking nat......
One of those perfect songs!
Luther Vandross a Voice period.
No one can sing like this dude.
Blessed Voice from up above.
Awesome!
Still love this track. Oh the memories come flooding back of the good times.
Spring-Summer of 1980......the good ole days!
Chance B I’ll say !!!!
lia exlemus I was 22 ! OMG ! Where does the time go ? Loving some Luther always til today!
HOW TRUE THE BEST OLD DAYS EVER.
i was 26 and still love it
Chance B Yes indeed! I was 16
If you have a great sound system, you must blast this and dance your ass off! If not, put on your headphones and raise the volume, dance music doesn't get better than this....
you know it ! always loved this song.
all the time ,,mad bass line
steven vega. He'll yeah! That's wat I'm talk bout Steven.
Got that right!
tell it!!! that is so right
"The Voice"..................R.I.P.
Great memories as a 15 year old "Saturday boy" working in the city centre at Boots the Chemist in Hull, East Yorkshire, UK in 1980. Sue, Yvette, Julie and the girls would play this on the record department. A life changing song and what a great group Change were with super vocals from Luther Vandross!
Very early Luther...Sounds just as good as his latter years...R.I.P. Champ!!!!!!!
Happy birthday Luther would have been 64 today... RIP to the voice of sweet soul
Lloyd Reid Well said.
Lloyd Reid I I miss him so much. Music just isn't the same without him.
Llamber z
he lives on w "One Shinning Moment" at the end of ea NCAA Basketball Tournament Championship game... RIP
Laurence Adams, I have to agree with you. The REAL music was from the 70's and 80's. The soul, funk, jazzfunk and disco era exploded into life and music was never the same. Luther, Teena Marie, Rick James and the list goes on. Don't really care what people say today about the music of this generation, it will NEVER have the feeling of our era. :)
Yes!! : )
Well said!!!
Will anybody still be listening to the modern shit in 40 years time
Loved this when i was a kid, i'm now 48, classics stay classic.
Ambient Dweller a kid we were 12 yrs old when this came out . im the same age you are
Iam 45 my brother! Aint nothing like oldschool!! Peace from Gainesville,Florida!!✌✌✌✌
always loved this record
Still jamming 2020 why stop💯💯🔊🎺🎺🎸🎸🎷🎹🔥🔥🔥
Many people thought that Vandross was part of the group Change when actually he just an invited guest singer for them. Change was an Italian pop/disco group and this album was voted the best dance and import album for the year 1980. Vandross sang two songs on this album for them.
good info...thx for sharing..used to roller skate to this and a few other Change hits in NYC in the 80s..
detroit diesel wow... im surpeised...never known that
detroit diesel Thank you for mentioning that. i was so surprised to hear Luther singing. i thought my finger had slipped on the wrong vid. i can hear his voice on many of the late 70s early 80s soul albums as he sang back up for many of the artists then.
detroit diesel seriously???
detroit diesel Oh! I didn't know that.
Bought this album when it first came out, still have it!!!
...what a singer.......so distinctive!
I made sure my grown kids know the incomparable voice of luther...definitely in the top 5 of best male vocalists of all time
I could listen to this beat for an hour. No, two hours! I wish it lasted longer than 8 minutes.
loop video :)
All day!! This song moves your soul!!
Great tune noel smith
Syncopated rhythm- LOVE that beat!
