Sitting back with glass of wine, alone with my thoughts, counting my blessings & enjoying the magic of Ms. Crawford & Mr. Sample. Doesn't get much better than this.
One day we will all fly away, but until then we will continue to listen to this 100% pure classic, sung like an angel by the one and only Randy crawford.
There is nothing better that Randy and Joe (rip) together . I saw them in Paris and cried during the whole concert . So emotional and what a complicity! Sorry for the thumbs down, they did not understand what real music is. Go back to your tv shows...
I'll make it alone When love is gone Still you made your mark Here in my heart One day I'll fly away Leave your love to yesterday What more can your love do for me? When will love be through with me? I follow the night Can't stand the light When will I begin My life again? One day I'll fly away Leave your love to yesterday What more can your love do for me? When will love be through with me? Why live life from dream to dream? And dread the day that dreaming ends? One day I'll fly away Leave your love to yesterday What more can your love do for me? When will love be through with me? Why live life from dream to dream? And dread the day that dreaming ends? One day I'll fly away Fly away One day I'll fly away Fly away Fly away
I first heard Randy singing this sone in 1980. I was in a very little town in the hills outside Launceston, Tasmania. I'd turned on the TV but wasn't paying any attention to it. Then I heard this magic voice ! I was captivated by her voice, but also her face, a glorious big smile with the whitest teeth. Her mouth seemed to just give her voice away. It was hypnotic, I couldn't wait to tell my friends about this amazing woman. It's now 2015 and I still love her music, her voice and yes, her smile. It' a whole package of beautiful music and I love it. Many thanks for the wonderful memories Carole
Massimo Allen, thanks for your post, I did send you an answer but my phone keeps changing your name and I had to delete it. I really love this lady at whatever age she sings - awesome
so good, brings a tear to my glass eye, a beautiful song from a beautiful woman, written and played by a maestro. Headphones on, extremely large whisky in my hand, heaven . Xx
no one sings like her till today 2013...and she leaves a mark in the music industry that only her can do and no body else...she still got that voice...
The universe is gives us certain treasures, Randy is one of them! It doesn't matter where or when you hear her, she just touches your soul, and you are a better person for it. I'm very grateful to the masters who give us great music, I'd be lost without it. Thanks for your post, Carole
ms crawfords voice is pure silk, this song puts a lump in my throat and brings a tear to my eye, i was very young when this song was released and went out and bought it as soon as i got my pocket money, the best buy i have ever made, thank you so much for the upload
pure heaven .....Randy and Joe gosh this is remarkable....I wish I was there RIP Joe Sample.....but at the other end of the spectrum you have Nicole Kidman singling this and stripping it of every ounce of musicality and soul ......horrendous
I've been listening to Randy Crawford every since 1979. She was singing « STREET LIFE» , with the Crusaders. I was a young kat then. When I heard her in 79 , she had a numbing affect on me , musically speaking. Now, at the age of 51, I listened to it and I actually cried. This song and voice is so soothing. Joe Sample, also did this song with Lala Hathaway. However, I prefer Randy Crawford. Although you can't go wrong with neither, they're both great! I know Joe is smiling. Rip Mr. SAMPLE , SIR!
I cannot imagine anyone doing this song better than the legendary Randy Crawford with her unique, sweet and sultry singing voice & the late Joe Sample, master pianist blending so perfectly in harmony…This song has such a profoundly deep meaning for me...and I play it over and over again...
@1marcand fully agree and just add: non recognition qualifies those not recognizing her and not giving her larger space nowadays. but i think she made her mark and will not be forgotten by those who can hear and feel, musically too. brilliant singer, artist, and yes, beatiful. without beauty one cannot sing this song the way she has been performing, ever better as time goes by.
Some day ill fly away to a real true love. I was introduced to you by my mother in the 80's and i still fall in love with Randy's music i have also introduced them to y own children perfection is Randy's voice
As good as the original from 1980. That voice is one in a million. A rare talent indeed. I adore you Randy Crawford - you brought joy, love and happiness into my life.
Saw her twice in Bris Vegas mid eighties best show ever. Saw her after in the bar and commented that she disn't sing Desperado in concert so she put her arms on my shoulders and sang it just to me . Biggest thrill ever - beautiful lady and best voice
A voice sent from above, through the entire universe to reach a tiny planet full of love called earth lighting the candle with the highest power of energy you will never find in your plug at home ! So, don't WONDER when your plugs will break through the walls....with the love
So few views .. I don't understand it. It's a rare thing when a live performance sounds as good as a studio recording. Perfection .. John Lewis should have used this version for Buster the Boxer.
Happy 67th birthday to Ms Randy Crawford blew us away with her vocals during the 1978 to 1983 period when she could do no wrong, also consistently releasing an album a year, who can forget that smile on her face whenever she sang those notes
I travel to all corners of TH-cam to reminisce across all genres of music but it seldom that I find myself removing a tear or two from the corner of my eyes before my wife asks me if I am okay! Only Randy Crawford it seems has the ability to make me flood my keyboard!
Standing a bit off side a road up in the French Alps (RN) watching the mountain scenery thinking about a broken relationship This song came from somewhere inside. I so like this song and Randy does it so very very well.
It is my sincere hope that one day, and Randy Crawford can get the recognition she deserves for one of the most God gifted vocalist of this Century! Wow! How beautiful are soooo many of her songs that resonates deep in the heart, soul and spirit. God shows himself to be alive and real through the wonders of talent such as you, and Randy Crawford Crawford.
If I were to Die straight after writing and posting this; then I would have already heard the voice and music of God… Thank You Miss Crawford and Musicians all.
Love Randy, Love Joe..... I'm just one of those harden deep jazz fans.
What a performance and arrangement, truly magical
OMG! This is the first time I have ever heard her. Sensational!
Sitting back with glass of wine, alone with my thoughts, counting my blessings & enjoying the magic of Ms. Crawford & Mr. Sample. Doesn't get much better than this.
Me too my friend…….. Great 🍷
R i p joe sample
Me too
Underrated performance
almost three decades has passed, yet her voice is still the same quality as it was. Randy Crawford is indeed a legend.
She's so underrated. Her voice is beautiful.
I don't think she's seen as underrated. She is hugely respected as an artist. Had you underated her perhaps?
Randy and Joe takes us meandering through a field of dreams with this one❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She is why I don't waste my time watching American Idol.
David Arbelaez
Touché! ^_^
Very true
No disrespect to the American Idol,... Britain's got talent but yes this on another level
in a nutshell chum....
This woman knows she can sang!!!
The piano solo by Joe Sample is insane.
Her natural beauty makes me weep no pretence just purity she's magical
There are certain songs that you hear throughout your life that leave an indelible impression ,this is one of those songs for me ,
so true
reffoelcnu alouncelal this song never gets old
One day we will all fly away, but until then we will continue to listen to this 100% pure classic, sung like an angel by the one and only Randy crawford.
There's magic happening in this video but you'll miss it if your heart is stone.
Agreed, agreed, yes sir, feel magic way down inside......
🔥🙌🏻🔥
She has beautiful voice, vibrato, and emotion. She deserves more recognition. Love this song so much.. my heart cries 👍
Wonderful
It's still one of the best songs ever! What an amazing voice!
Dont know how many times ive watched this and still love it , she's wonderful
Legendary, timeless voice! No one sounds like her. Pure class.
There is nothing better that Randy and Joe (rip) together . I saw them in Paris and cried during the whole concert . So emotional and what a complicity! Sorry for the thumbs down, they did not understand what real music is. Go back to your tv shows...
Agreed - I was in the first row for this show and was moved to tears several times. They are truly a match made in heaven.
❤❤❤ ms Crawford 2024
I'll make it alone
When love is gone
Still you made your mark
Here in my heart
One day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
I follow the night
Can't stand the light
When will I begin
My life again?
One day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream?
And dread the day that dreaming ends?
One day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream?
And dread the day that dreaming ends?
One day I'll fly away
Fly away
One day I'll fly away
Fly away
Fly away
One of the greatest songs ever composed. Thank you Joe Sample and Will Jennings. Outstanding vocals from Randy Crawford.
A living legend. One of the most unique voices on the planet. Love you Randy!
I agree...her and Ester Phillips have those voices that are instantly recognizable.
I first heard Randy singing this sone in 1980. I was in a very little town in the hills outside Launceston, Tasmania. I'd turned on the TV but wasn't paying any attention to it.

Now you know the American Princess
Massimo Allen, thanks for your post, I did send you an answer but my phone keeps changing your name and I had to delete it. I really love this lady at whatever age she sings - awesome
Carol, that is a beautifully worded (and accurate) post.
Yes, her smile is indeed beautiful.
Sample and Crawford hasn't missed a beat. Long live the Crusaders !!!
Truly the best singer there is. Joe Sample is smiling in jazz heaven!
Singer, music and lyrics like this is something that is a standard to be met, and irreplacable as a musical phenomenom.
One of most moving,evocative,sweet-sad songs ever written.
Remembering the genius of Joe Sample. He touched us all.
so good, brings a tear to my glass eye, a beautiful song from a beautiful woman, written and played by a maestro. Headphones on, extremely large whisky in my hand, heaven . Xx
what an angelic voice!
what happiness sounds like
The guy on piano plus Randy's vocals = Effin awesome!!!
"That guy" is (was) Joe Sample, a jazz legend... Be sure to check out more of his work!
Kate Stewart Yes he wrote this! Absolute legend!
RIP Joe and Thankyou ~ this gem will live on for generations!
The guy on the piano? FFS
Guy on the drums is great too!
no one sings like her till today 2013...and she leaves a mark in the music industry that only her can do and no body else...she still got that voice...
Would be in my top 10 of all time.
The best singer I have ever heard
Every time I play this song. I get chills. Sing it Randy Crawford! RIP Joe Sample...Randy could not have sung it without you on the keys.
I love you Randy! A true American princess.
The universe is gives us certain treasures, Randy is one of them! It doesn't matter where or when you hear her, she just touches your soul, and you are a better person for it. I'm very grateful to the masters who give us great music, I'd be lost without it. Thanks for your post, Carole
Randy is British
Fragrance King No she is not. She is however better known in the UK then in America oddly enough.
She makes my soul fly
She sounds the same and has the same passion in her voice from like 20 years ago, what an artist! What a woman, god bless you, fantastic!! xx
One of the few singers who actually can perform as good live as on mp3! Amazing that she can keep it up at such an age! 5/5
ms crawfords voice is pure silk, this song puts a lump in my throat and brings a tear to my eye, i was very young when this song was released and went out and bought it as soon as i got my pocket money, the best buy i have ever made, thank you so much for the upload
pure heaven .....Randy and Joe gosh this is remarkable....I wish I was there RIP Joe Sample.....but at the other end of the spectrum you have Nicole Kidman singling this and stripping it of every ounce of musicality and soul ......horrendous
Who dares to dislike this performance? My God.. this planet is definitely full of narrow minded individuals...
Some people are incapable of appreciating beauty.
...... may be they don't like the arrangement? They don't have the "jazz" capability.
Idiots...
This song makes me think of my life with my husband. Beautiful! Sing it Randy and let's not forget Joe Sample Trio....
Your voice is uncomperable to anything in this world. You shift the souls to the high.
still beautiful she has a smile that just lights up a room so sweet her voice is outstanding
