- In 1989, I released "Bring It All Back" - my third single from my 1988 RCA album "Blind To Reason". Once again, during one of my tours, it was time to make another video. I left my touring band in Mephis,TN and flew to Shepperton Studios in Surrey, England, an amazing huge film complex in the middle of the English countryside where many of the world's most beloved films were made: "Ghandi", "Lawrence Of Arabia", "Dr. Strangelove", "The Omen", "The Boys From Brazil", "Flash Gordon", Blade Runner", "Sleepy Hollow", "Out Of Africa", "Gravity", "Guardians Of The Galaxy", just to name a few. So it was a real pleasure to film there. I chose to work with Nick Brandt, the English director that had done such a great job on my video "Talk It Over".
Upon arriving I was astounded to walk into a huge set that had been transformed into a post-apocalyptic landscape where survivors of some unknown disaster (including me with a Hammond B3 organ) are stranded in the tops of trees. The resulting video was visually striking, even if I did have to overcome my fear of heights to perform 25 feet above the ground.
(Note: For some reason about six months ago, this video, which was originally posted by a fan, was taken down. Perhaps his account was closed. So I've put it back up myself. Hope you enjoy it!)
This album is one of those underappreciated gems of the 80's . I played this cassette so much the printing came off.
This and "Talk it Over" are still 2 of my favorites of all time.
bronco devil same here bro
Absofuckinglutely!
Absolutely beautiful ,,I played them so much I memorised the songs to sing ..🤞🤗💞💞
You and all together, we feel in the same way the music this music, because we were living in the 80's and then, WE ARE LEGENDS!!
I heard "talk it over" when I was in my 20s, and for some reason it hit my mind at 2:00am and It's 2021 now, and I'm 55 yo. So, yeah, it's been a minute. Such a great voice on a white guy. Always makes me think of Lionel Richie 😊
One of the most beautiful songs of the 80's
The 80s couldn't have ended any better with fantastic songs like this.
This dude knows the Hammond, for sure. Distinctive voice and great production values.
If there was ever a Grayson Hugh song that could rival Talk It Over, this one would be it!!!
Would love to hear Grayson and Steve Perry perform a duet. Very similar voices. Grayson does has a lot of soul in his voice.
Love your music. Please get back in the studio, miss your soulful sound
thanks - halfway thru new record "save your love for me" will be released dec 2020 or early '21!
Underrated but never forgotten
Glad you like my music Mo! Check out my new record-in-progress on my Facebook page!
Watched again on July 19, 2021
🙂👍 A Grayson Hugh fan living in Windham County Connecticut 🙂👍
This gorgeous song got significant airplay in my hometown of St. Louis. I remember hearing it on the car radio and thinking it was Lionel Ritchie. I'm glad I know who really sang it.
One of the greatest songs of all time! When I find a way, I will honorably cover it.
still loving this decades later
Grayson's songs and singing resonate with my soul....
Bring it on back and TAKE ME BACK!!! What a great time to have heard this music. Soundtrack of my early teens.
I saw this video ONCE back around 1988 and didn't catch the singer/group. All could remember was the visuals and the chorus. I'm just now seeing it again!
Grayson is the real deal. You can watch him perform and see that he pours his entire heart into every note. I’ve been a fan for a long time. ❤️
Actually knew this song growing up! Instantly clicked with it! It's so soulful
Summer breeze Glad you like it!
100%
The entire album is a treasure. I still play it every chance I get. Grayson has a wonderful voice.
It's so cool Grayson posted this himself.So many great tracks on this album.Remember watching them all on VH-1.What a soulful voice.
Glad you like the song and the video, nyg1954!
Saw this on a Top 100 list - ran to buy it on iTunes
Great song, underrated performer!!!!!!!!
Nonsense.
I remember seeing this video on mtv or vh1 so long ago. I was a pre teen, never thought much about it all. But now I can’t hear this kind of music enough. Modern so called music has no soul
Grayson...I remember you from Berklee Summer Program 2000...we had an hour's private session where you had me show you a bunch of my acoustic work (you even joined in on the classroom upright)...I will never forget. You had me record a demo of my work for you when I returned home...
I didn't know of you until that songwriting workshop, but ever since then, your music has stuck with me.
Thanks Cody, I remember you. You're very talented and I'm glad my music continues to inspire you. Keep on rockin, man!
Grayson Hugh thank you. That session is a memory I'll never lose.
Grayson Hugh is the man
My late wife turned me onto Grayson Hugh. I love the duet he did with Betty (The Clean Up Woman) Wright. The song was a cover of the hit by the group Champaign "How Bout Us'.
SO LOVE this WHOLE ALbum ! .. Played the PISS out of it ! .... Still have the CD .. and the Vinyl I think . :)
Thanks, that's bloody brilliant! The vinyl of it! RCA told me "Blind To Reason" was one of the last albums released on vinyl, cassette and CD in '88.
Rock ON Grayson !! .. Yer TOO Good !! .. Love yer Stuff . and BIG HEAD TODD back in this Time .! .
I'm a HUGE METAL HEAD and Rock guy ... Blues and Jazz Folk .. All of it .. Your BLUE EYED SOUL was So Awesome !! .
Tim in FARGO ND ! ..
Grayson....This is most likely the best piece of music ever written...EVER! Better than ANY of Mozart, Beethoven, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Duke Ellington, etc etc...I would like to extend an offer of $120,000,000 per song if it is a hit, from my record label. This is the finest music to have ever hit human ears, in all of time and existence.
Blind To Reason Is A Great Underrated Album
@Jeff C the whole world
@Jeff C your FACE is nonsense ....what are you even doing here? you're obviously not a fan and a bit of a dick. so???? any other replies.
Always your beautiful soul voice. Thank you 😊
Thanks jennycalypso!
This album is a classic!
Thanks Joe! You sang great on it my friend!
Thanks. But it's your songwriting and delivery. So dope!
Love this song..always have...beautiful voice !!!
GREAT!
This song subconciously stuck with me for years. It has such timeless depth, Just beautiful! So glad Grayson beat the drink & is performing his magic again, an artist of remarkable calibre ! so glad to find this!
I love your music! I listened to this song when it was new -- the year I got married. I never anticipated then that 31 years later my wife would file for divorce. Now I listen and this song brings back sweet memories of new love and now, a love that’s gone. Tears and joy... bitter and sweet....
What a gorgeous song..... first time I've heard it 😑 baby...bring it all back 😍 I obviously only listened to singles released in nz (90s) and didnt buy any albums 🙄🙄🙄
Cobra Huck Thanks for your comment! You must come see me & Polly when we tour NZ in October!

Beatiful piece reminds me of some good times in upng 2010 to 2014
Hi greyson .. wow i just happened to walk past the tele yesterday.and was memerised by the video clip of Lets talk it over.
It brought back so many memories.. i have been up all night utubing your songs and reading about you..
Great music and great story
I wish you all the best and thanks so much for making my life a little happier
thanks Grayson!!!
My favourite song by Grayson. Love the heart and soul. Still watching him in 2019. 🥰
This is my favourite song from Grayson. Yep Talk it over was the hit but this one was to me more stunning. Thank you sir.
Rie Rie you are most welcome! I’m glad you like my music! And I hope you check out all my releases since then!
I like talk it over as well but there's something about this song that gets you......being a big romantic probably doesn't help.
I played the vinyl LP tonight, and it's just wonderful, in every respect. Memorable songs, clarity, atmosphere, detail, and even the plastic was perfect. Magificent album.
John Holden Thanks John, I’m glad you like that album of mine!
Beautiful music from a beautiful man ❤❤❤💋💋💋
Many thanks Alicos!
It's a gem, Grayson!
We saw Grayson in 1989;at the Worlds Fair site in Knoxville, Tn. I was working on my degree at Ut. My wife and two sons are big, big fans of Grayson. Wish he would continue singing. Scott S.
Thanks Scott. I AM continuing to sing. Never stopped, in fact. Took a few years off teaching at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Check out all my albums since "Blind To Reason" on my website graysonhugh.net - and thanks for your support!
So many memories such a great album Grayson thank you :)
evermore8888 Thank you!
One of my old favorites 🎶
Hey Grayson, yeah these songs were great. Hope your doing great.
great song
Still listening to this in 2017!
Glad you like it!
+graysonhugh1 I would love to go to a show, but I have disabilities, and nobody ever comes near mobile, alabama. so I have to just enjoy you here. my Gmail and messenger are overloaded as a result of one photo that went crazy, so I can't access either one nor does my phone have the memory to allow my to access anything but texts. I hope to see you still, someday. ..somehow
one of my favorites glad to see you back in music
Glad you like this one, David!
hey i love all your music man i loved the 80s
Thank you for sharing! I am so sorry I missed seeing your show in Brevard, NC! I was bummed.
Love this tune!!! Ben searching for this video for years!!!
Aaron Work found him after umpteen years. Couldn't believe it when I did!
Grayson Hugh is one soulful brutha♥ Loved this album so so much!

This guy has a unique voice..thelma and louise was on last night and one of his tunes was on in the background in the diner scene...i finally found out who it was and its Grayson Hugh...im glad i stumbled onto his music..loveley stuff...ps the song was i cant untie you from me..
dang............this is my favourite now hahahaaaaaaaaaaaa love it!
AWESOME!
music to d ear a great song
Thanks Mark!
Fabulous voice
I have loved Talk it Over since you released it but I am just now discovering more of your music and loving it!!
The only other artist that I can enjoy an entire album from is Prince! Grayson has some of the best music ever written in my eyes!
If you like this and Talk It Over then you have missed some of Grayson’s new era gems in Back To The Soul and Goodbye Train. Some of his best music
Played this hit on 106.3 KHAT Lincoln Nebraska summer 1989! Hell if a voice. Blue eyed soul!!
Have never let that album get too far from reach.
Grayson has been with me through his wonderful singing for about 40 years now. My favourite album.
Next to Finally Found a Friend, this is my fave songs of yours!
Can't believe I never heard this song in NZ, I listen to it every couple of days now.......should have been one of my favourites back in the 80's/90's.
@The Radio Vault absolutely....on Gayle Ludlows loves songs to midnight i98fm.....you guys uploaded their radio ditty for me on your channel....Fantastic song and a fantastic station.....loved listening to them in my formative years. Will be forever great full to Grayson Hugh....that station and other artists. I believe they made me a better man.
44 years later ..how good is this song! legendary
I bought this album when it hit the shelf never heard a white man with this much soul
sure wish we could have album after album more and more again @Grayson Hugh!
Thanks Jenny! Well you can! After' "Blind To Reason", that this hit single was from, I released "Road To Freedom" in 1992 on MCA Records - and that album contained my songs used in RIdley's Scott's blockbuster movie "Thelma and Louise" ("I Can't Untie You From Me" and "Don't Look Back") and my arrangement and recording of Bob Dylan's "I'll Remember You" for the end-title song for another 1991 Oscar-winning film "Fried Green Tomatoes". Then in 2010 I released "An American Record", and in 2015 "Back To The Soul", both on my own label Swamp Yankee Records. Check my website graysonhugh.net for the details how to get them. Hope you enjoy them just as much as my first one and this song! All the best to you - Grayson
wow! Thanks Grayson! Well i already have both Blind to Reason and Road to Freedom. I endorse them with my entire heart!!! BUT I don't know An American Record, or Back to the Soul. YAY!!! I WILL GO RIGHT NOW. I am so so glad you are here. you seriously saved me with your voice music everything and all. I wish you some serious joy! xoxo!
Got them!! I will keep my radar on with you all over there! Good for you! Everyone is going to get you for the holidays! I will be back!
Finding artists like grayson via our local easy listening radio station (90s baby here) have been such pivotal moments of life. Songs like this and "talk it over" have such an overwhelming positive effect, fighting back depression and anxiety in my case. Love your work grayson, from another cliché "born too late" kid.
I guess some of those ppl in this video have left us.. RIP To Those Who Have Left
Thanks for a great show last night at FTC !!! Great memories !!!
Glad you enjoyed the show, Richard!
WELL!! I am impressed!! Good show!! This song was one of my favorite staples during my service at a (now closed) Shaw's Supermarket in Lawrence, MA. THANKS!!
Glad you like this song!
An awesome song, I first heard this before I was a teenager and it's always resonated with me. You can't help but reflect on the past listening to it and of what may have been.....and possibly what may still be.
Love this song and video. The video is like "This is Us" 30 years earlier..
BACK IN THE DAY,ANOTHERBLUE EYED SOUL BROTHER,GREAT SINGER
Hi Grayson, I love this song but I have a question.....how in the world did u guys get down from those trees?! Lmao 😂 this song always left me with a bittersweet/melancholy feeling. Makes me sad kinda but I love it.
Haha! The question should be how did we get UP into those trees! Ladders and sheer courage my friend! Glad you like the song!
Grayson Hugh hehe well that too kind sir. Yes I LOVE this song. Thank u for making it! 😍
greenlee7smythe You are most welcome!!
@@graysonhugh1okay so funny story:
I’m driving in the car with a few of my nieces and I put this song on full blast and me and my two older nieces in the car begin to sing along and I mean by the end, REALLY singing along and after the song fades out my youngest niece in the back seat goes, “……Bring WHAT all back?!”
LMAO!!! 😂 we all turn to slooooowly look at her like 😒😒😒 and one of my other nieces replies, “Bring back the rest of your brain!!!”
Lmao 😂
Love this song. Although there's another version of it of which I just can't seem to find anywhere :(
Thanks John! I am not familiar with anyone else covering my song "Bring It All Back?" I'm intrigued! Let me know who it is! all the best - GH
Nice song to break up to.......
RIght, Daniel. Then, to make up you can put on my song "Talk It Over"!
@@graysonhugh1 🤣🤣🤣🤣✊🏾
What synths were used in this other than the Hammond?
Voice sounds do like Sam Cook
Is that Leo McKern in the video?
Finally found a friend
Finally found this song!! Love this so s much 🌹🌹🌹🩵🩷
