Who is still listening to this in 2024?? I know I am( true r&b).. they'll never be this kind again.. So let us hold on to it and remember all things that were good
That's what this generation is missing out on. Those slow jams that promote love, dealt with real issues, and definitely put you in the mood. It's still needed.
Stephanie and Robert tore this song up 🎤! And they hit those notes like it was nothing🎶...........Effortless talents with a capital T😉.....Perfection👌!
@mariaclaudiasantos290 Yes. There's another version on the soundtrack to the movie "Dead Presidents" by Jesse and Trina. It sounds good too, just a faster tempo. Oh, and don't forget about Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. They all sound great.
There's definitely something when white singers will work hard to sound like a black singer but as a black man or woman you simply sound like who you are. It's powerful.
Stephanie is a true vocalist in every since of the word. I love the remake of this song, her and Robert really did a good job they sound so very good together.
something told me he was no longer with us, and here I find it to be true after looking for this video.. this song is even more bittersweet for me now..
God I just love this darn song ever since I was young. I remember watching the video on Midnight Love on BET and singing it like I was going thru a similar relationship at 11 years old lol. Stephanie Mills is one of my musical idols!
Woke up and song in my spirit. Humanity has lost and forgot about true love. I know this song is about two lovers, yet the love between the creator and human is far greater than anything 😌
Everytime Steph throw up her hands and 'THAT'S ALL I CAN DO' gets me everytime. some serious song stylin sangin, chemistry and soul all on this track and in this video.
Still WOW after all these years...the rendition that rivals the original with its sass and swag...RIP RB...Stephanie, you will always be my sweet sensation..
Hi Jerome 👋 I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….
this is my friend we where so close I found out you were no more that break my heart to hear that news . I remember all the late nights in the studio waiting to work out afterward and we end up going to eat at one of his favorite spot HOT Wings on Melrose you will forever be missed i was thinking of you and so pull this song up my dear Friend Robert Brookins
I was in college going through the same issues in this song and it hit the nail on the head. I really loved the vocals of Robert and Stephanie. I am sorry to hear that he passed. He was an underated singer
I still luv this song after all these years!! I swear they don't make slow jams like this anymore!! I'm 48 & I luv listening to my 70's, 80's & 90's slow jams
I remember watching this on Video Soul back in the day. Great video and vocals. Stephanie did some great duets. Nice tribute to Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack.
Yeah. Stephanie and Robert look and sound like they've let us in on their relationship, while Roberta sounded too flowery (to me) for the subject matter.
I've been looking for this song for over 20 years, lol. Great memories of my college days & my 1st adult relationship, thx for posting! I know her personally, my mother & her family went to chuch together back in the day. I still remember meeting her in her dressing room & the cast of The Wiz! Still have the pictures to prove it, lml! 😄

I have this cd and I play it like if it just came out , so soothing to listen to . . They dont make music like this anymore . . I b so saddened due to I want to hear more and more
I was 14 in 1988 singing this song like I knew what they were talking about. Now at 48 I definitely know what they’re singing about and I love this song even more
Great song great duet Stephanie and Robert RIP Mr. Brookins saw him in concert 1986 with the Stanley Clarke Band he sang great voice played keys and also bass
Stephanie has a history of having good chemistry with the male vocalists she collaborate with but no they didn't date but almost every guy she sings with, she makes it look like its something more
@@djv-anthoni5891 I have never seen a more true perspective. I dont know what's her better gift. Singing or the amazing chemistry she has with every duet
I have heard this song all my life in a variety of versions. Today is the first time I heard this recording. The song feels so fresh & so clean, clean. I was 9 in 1988 & missed this but thankful to find it.
In no way am I taking anything away from the original artists. I just prefer this version a lot better. Shout out to Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway(BTW Donny is my fav singer of all time). Stephanie & Robert killed this Jawn. Love it!!

Who is still listening to this in 2024??
I know I am( true r&b).. they'll never be this kind again.. So let us hold on to it and remember all things that were good
There's something about a Black man's strong and powerful voice. Rest easy Robert. Rest in perfect peace.
He passed? What caused it?
@@carameldiva5131 He had a heart attack in 2009
I had no idea he passed.... But maybe I forgot.... Rest In Paradise Mr Brookins.... Singing In The "Heavenly Choir"🙏🏾🙏🏾❤🎤🎼
He passed? No Idea... Rip
This is Mervins brother. ✊👍💯
Stephanie has always been so fly!
Always
Stephanie and Robet sang the hell out of this song! REAL SOUL AND PASSION!
Sho did!
I never knew anything about this brother he is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
She was DEFINITELY feeling him. Please understand it wasn't just for the camera either. That look @ 4:11.....LAWWD!!
@@anyright8683 Dude is cold.
Man one of those Quiet Storm classics. Man I miss the quiet storm days.
That's what this generation is missing out on. Those slow jams that promote love, dealt with real issues, and definitely put you in the mood.
It's still needed.
Stephanie and Robert tore this song up 🎤! And they hit those notes like it was nothing🎶...........Effortless talents with a capital T😉.....Perfection👌!
Agreed!
I’m surprised she didn’t have ex singing wit er on this song. His name is Michael Jackson ✌🏿
❤❤❤❤
MY GOD THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT LOVE SONGS IN THE 80s
Kathy Williams. Oh yea!!😁
Kathy Williams I know right... back then we were respectful that's for sure!
This version is addictive. Sometimes it brings me to tears
Me too 🇧🇷
Me three! ❤
@@ednasilva6332❤
Omg! Is it a version?
@mariaclaudiasantos290 Yes. There's another version on the soundtrack to the movie "Dead Presidents" by Jesse and Trina. It sounds good too, just a faster tempo. Oh, and don't forget about Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. They all sound great.
Teddy Pendergrass, Robert Brookins, she could make good duets.
PLEASE NEVER DELETE THIS SONG!! thanx
I love this song
🔥🔥🔥🔥
There's definitely something when white singers will work hard to sound like a black singer but as a black man or woman you simply sound like who you are. It's powerful.
Exactly! Ain't nothing like the real thing. 💯👊🏽💥
🔥💓🔥🔥
I WAS 14 YEARS OLD LOVING THE HECK OUT OF THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!! STANDING IN THE MIRROR SINGING IT!!!!!!!!!!!! OOOOO ROBERT, TELL WHERE!!!!!!!!!!!
I was 7 dancing my self off while watched this on BET Video Soul
Extraordinary vocals. Still giving me goosebumps ❤🔥
Shit! Where has this kind of music gone?
Stephanie is a true vocalist in every since of the word. I love the remake of this song, her and Robert really did a good job they sound so very good together.
Midnight Love on BET
They would play this video every night.
Miss the 80s...
I got choked up at this comment. Midnight love/video soul...... just a different time back then.
@@Charlesbjtown exactly I miss those days
Stephanie and Robert put it down with this one!!!
something told me he was no longer with us, and here I find it to be true after looking for this video.. this song is even more bittersweet for me now..
God I just love this darn song ever since I was young. I remember watching the video on Midnight Love on BET and singing it like I was going thru a similar relationship at 11 years old lol. Stephanie Mills is one of my musical idols!
I KNOW BABY. I KNOW.
You weren't the only one! Dwl
Midnight Love wow old school
I loved BET's Midnite Love
Midnight Love, one helluva show! 😁☺
As Oprah would say, "Love, love, love this song"!!!!!!
Woke up and song in my spirit. Humanity has lost and forgot about true love. I know this song is about two lovers, yet the love between the creator and human is far greater than anything 😌
AMEN😅😅
All due respect...Mr. Donny Hathaway (RIP) and Ms. Robert Flack...but this version blows the original out of the water. B1👊🏿
Everytime Steph throw up her hands and 'THAT'S ALL I CAN DO' gets me everytime. some serious song stylin sangin, chemistry and soul all on this track and in this video.
Me too, bruh, LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
Still WOW after all these years...the rendition that rivals the original with its sass and swag...RIP RB...Stephanie, you will always be my sweet sensation..
THIS DUET IS UNFORGETTABLE. 💜 STEPHANIE MILL'S VOICE CAN NOT BE IMITATED NOR DUPLICATED BY ANYONE. 💜💜💜👏👏👏👏👏😊
It's 2019, and the song still flows like silk in the wind.
