"I went home and watched television until television went off." Gives you an idea of how long ago this was. When I was a kid (70's) TV didn't stay on all night. Stations would actually stop broadcasting until the next morning. Damn, I'm old🤣🤣
The first time that I heard this song it made me cry I was stationed over seas.in the Army I just wanted to hug my Mother and all the females in the USA of America!!!
The Lenny Williams era was my favorite TOP with Rick Stevens a close second. Would have loved to see Lenny sing this song with the Tower and a string section
Between 1973-1975 Lenny Williams was the lead singer of my favorite band Tower of Power!! You definetely needs to check them out. Songs like So Very Hard to Go, Soul Vaccination or What is Hip all featuring Lenny on lead vocals at least the original versions.
Classic song man. One of the best love songs of all time. Another dope song from is You got me Running. But this is arguably his best song...and one of the best of all times imo
If you want to hear a woman plead and be passionate in her music with fantastic vocal, you have to check out Linda Jones for “Your Precious Love.” sadly, she died at age 27 in 1972. I think this is the ultimate answer to Lenny Williams song.
I love that younger men are able to appreciate songs like this. Friend's male or female, who advise you to leave someone whom you truly love if it can be salvaged, or make you feel like a lame to express your feelings for your partner are not real friends..
Love your reaction. This song by Lenny Williams is a true Classic Love song. One of the best EVER!!! Still get chills listening to it today. They just don't make love songs like that anymore. Glad you all have youtube so that you can get a little taste of the great music people in my generation were privileged to grow up to. Yes!!!
I’m only in my early 30s but I feel lucky that I grew up knowing all these songs lol. I’m definitely an old soul I use to play Lenny a lot as a kid haha
Lenny Williams was originally in a group named tower of power he was the lead singer 2 songs from tower of power were so very hard to go and what is hip his voice so beautiful
Every young man should have in his collection 3 essential songs: Play them in this order for your potential new girl. 1. Been Such a Long Time by New Birth 2. Cause I love you by Lenny Williams 3. No Ordinary Love by Sade Use Caution!!!!!! Babies can and will result.
I LOVE this song! He sang it like she was his everything. And I also love the reaction idea. I listened to the song but then I was eager to hear your reaction
One of my favorite groups of the 70s. So glad I got to see them in person, they were R&B But they came at R and B Littles different from other groups! They had a different R&B sound.
Omg first time I ever heard this song, I love it! Thank you 🔥💜🔥 Please do Aaron Neville- Tell It Like It Is (on video) it’s an oldie but I believe you will like it! Ty xx
Loved your reaction. Yeah Lenny is fasho a favorite...love him. He has many more great songs both solo and with Tower of Power. You kinda look like him too.
Lol! Watching your reaction to Lenny Williams song " cause I love you" was something else. When I first heard the song many years ago I fell in love with the song and Lenny Williams. He's such an amazing artist. Before you started talking knew you were in for A BIG TREAT! Check out the live video of the song. The video is 11:43 long. The video will have you listening over and over again! You will love it! Let me know how you like it.
Now if you listen to Lucky Daye's "Love You Too Much" and Summer Walker's "LOTD" you will know where they got the inspiration from. This song right here. It moves me to tears each time I listen to it because he was so sad and vulnerable in the song. Btw that Louie V bag above your head at the end is cute... lol
Back in the day my babysitting money was serious. I had to want something some kinda bad for me to spend it. Music, I usually recorded from the radio but I loved this song so much it was actually the first album I bought. Check out Midnight Girl and Half Past Love by Lenny! He 75 years old now but He's still makes great songs.
First of all, let me aquaint you with who this gentleman is. He was the lead singer most associated with the success of Tower of Power (replacing their original lead who gave them "You're Still A Young Man"). With them, he was the voice of "So Very Hard To Go", their biggest hit "What Is Hip" th-cam.com/video/oAatPPEaZDA/w-d-xo.html, "Willing To Learn" th-cam.com/video/pWvMN1DO9Pw/w-d-xo.html and "Only So Much Oil In The Ground":th-cam.com/video/UrxRJ9HlfZk/w-d-xo.html . On his own, besides, "Cause I Love You", he also did "Choosing You": th-cam.com/video/vDunbeWjSi8/w-d-xo.html, "Shoo-Doo-Fufu Ooh ": th-cam.com/video/vQvDh5LD6DE/w-d-xo.html and "Midnight Girl": th-cam.com/video/hH1q-WPIlKg/w-d-xo.html
Listen to Tower of Power So Very Hard to Go. Lenny was once one of Tower of Power's lead singers. His voice is amazing, He 75 years old now and still singing.
Never know how the power of love effect some people. Love in a lot of ways is like a stick of dynamite. U got to know how to handle it, or 'it' will handle U/
The title of this video caught my attention for one specific reason. Thats exactly how I felt. But bruh peep game. And I feel like this speaks for a lot of us. Remember Kings of Comedy with Steve, B-Mac, and them? Facts, we all done seen that a million times. It wasn't until last week, damn near twenty years later that I actually thought to look up this song. After hearing Steve Harvey go in about how much this man loved this woman that he wrote the greatest love song ever for her. I can't even front. I'm SO embarrassed that I never had the sense to listen to this before. This joint hits you in a way that most of us done forget exists 🙌🏿
Willing to Learn by Tower of Power - Lenny was lead singer for TOP for their best 3 albums 73-75 or the live TOP version when Brent Carter was singing lead
You have now experienced one of the greatest love songs ever.

I feel like we have failed our children/grandchildren if they don’t know certain songs... and this right here, is definitely ONE of them.
"I went home and watched television until television went off." Gives you an idea of how long ago this was. When I was a kid (70's) TV didn't stay on all night. Stations would actually stop broadcasting until the next morning. Damn, I'm old🤣🤣
Yes, indeed. I definitely remember them days. 🤣
Yeah, and often the National Anthem!
I'm with you. lol
Heck yeah man preach. Mess around and hear the national anthem after midnight on a channel😂

In an interview, Lenny said he actually cried during the recording of this song because it was so emotional. I can absolutely believe that.
One of the greatest love songs ever written or sung!! No matter how many times you've heard it....

Tower of power- So very hard to go. That’s Lenny Williams singing with them before this album came out.
Back in the day my babysitting money was serious. I had to want something some kinda bad for me to spend it. Music, I usually recorded from the radio but I loved this song so much it was actually the first album I bought. Check out Midnight Girl and Half Past Love by Lenny!

Never know how the power of love effect some people. Love in a lot of ways is like a stick of dynamite. U got to know how to handle it, or 'it' will handle U/
The title of this video caught my attention for one specific reason. Thats exactly how I felt. But bruh peep game. And I feel like this speaks for a lot of us.
Remember Kings of Comedy with Steve, B-Mac, and them? Facts, we all done seen that a million times. It wasn't until last week, damn near twenty years later that I actually thought to look up this song. After hearing Steve Harvey go in about how much this man loved this woman that he wrote the greatest love song ever for her.
I can't even front. I'm SO embarrassed that I never had the sense to listen to this before. This joint hits you in a way that most of us done forget exists 🙌🏿
Hey man love your reaction new to your channel I just subscribe good reaction good job
Me too, WOW.....
This song is sampled by “Overnight Celebrity” by Twista & Kanye West
Willing to Learn by Tower of Power - Lenny was lead singer for TOP for their best 3 albums 73-75 or the live TOP version when Brent Carter was singing lead
One of the best! But you gotta react to Betty Wright " no pain no gain " and " tonight is the night".
That's that liquor house music right there haha. 6 -2 lol heard that grandparents house that's what u play when you going through for real
Old R&B was amazing. New R&B does not have the depth.
AT ALL...
u gotta watch the standup comedy special “ kings of comedy “ , steve harvey does a bit about this song. the overall bit is about old school music.
“Tower of Power”.... check them out too!
Listen to him sing in tower of power ....so very hard to go
Try Gene Chandler Rainbow '65!!!
