- James Edward Ingram (February 16, 1952 - January 29, 2019) was an American singer, songwriter, musician and record producer. He was a two-time Grammy Award-winner and a two-time Academy Award nominee for Best Original Song.
Ingram, an Ohio native, got his start as a musician with the band Revelation Funk and later played keyboards for Ray Charles. He was nominated for 14 Grammy Awards, winning for best male R&B performance for his song "One Hundred Ways" in 1981 and best R&B performance for a duo or group in 1984 for "Yah Mo B There."
His duet with Patti Austin, "How Do You Keep the Music Playing," earned an Oscar nomination for best original song in 1983.
Ingram was also nominated for two Golden Globe Awards -- one in 1994 for best original song for "The Day I Fall in Love" and again in the same category the following year for "Look What Love Has Done."
He co-wrote Michael Jackson's hit song "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" with Quincy Jones.
James Ingram visited the TopPop studios in Hilversum, the Netherlands twice in 1983.
He performed ‘Party Animal’ from his 1983 album ‘It’s Your night’ on 28 October 1983
Earlier that year, on 19 February 1983 he performed his duet with Patti Austin ‘Baby Come To Me’ for the TopPop cameras.
"Baby, Come to Me" is a love ballad from Patti Austin's 1981 album Every Home Should Have One, sung as a duet by Austin and James Ingram. It was written by Rod Temperton (formerly of Heatwave). The song was released as a single in April 1982, peaking at #73 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. However, several months later the popular American soap opera General Hospital began to feature the song heavily, as the love theme for the character Luke Spencer. The single was re-released in October 1982, and reached #1 on the chart in February 1983.

RIP 🙏 Quincy Jones.✝️
What a man. How lucky to have him in our generation. ❤
I am singing this on air tomorrow night.
A honour indeed.
@@MsTrace a great loss💔 I was so lucky to get to see him at a jazz festival in Switzerland ❤❤
@@pty1pty2 wow. That would have been awesome.! To say the least!
Rest in Power, Q. May God keep you in His everlasting peace and comfort.🙏💖🕊💖
RIP Rod Temperton. He was an integral part of the Quincy Jones team including the writing of this song.
This song deserves a billion likes!!!!! Timeless classic for crying out loud ☝🏼
Younger gen doesn’t respect music
It brings a tear to your eyes when you hear these old songs, and realize music will never be like this again.
Preach!
Ikr😢
So true, that's why I have old school days where oldies but goodies are the order of the day......
They sure don't make them like they used to
It’s almost like I’m surviving off these old songs. 😢❤
Well,I'm a 64 yr old musician,& I'm finding that young people are hipper to old school music than I used to think.Had lunch recently with a friend at a nice bar/restaurant,they have pool tables,a young black couple were shooting pool,this song came on,& the young lady was ecstatic, dancing & singing along.Did my heart good.
Thank God some have good taste in Music.... The thing they cannot do is understand how it was in the 80s..the vibe...the times... this digital age is terrible it is distorting peoples minds and they rely on computers
You remember Luke and Laura
Because good music has no boundary. But they will never know the "feeling" at the time we knew it. No carbon can.
@@joannalouise2077 True. And likewise, we children of the '70s/'80s will never know the "feeling" of eras that preceded us. But I wouldn't trade my '70s childhood & '80s teen years for any other decades before or since.
Well I’m here reminiscing about this gorgeous music … it’s Nov 24 I’m struggling with a new knee , Hearing that the inimitable Quincy Jones has just died ( sound track to my life) with a marriage op. The rocks x
Truth be told, the R&B Artists of the '80s were GOD-sent.
Yes
❤❤1❤❤❤
I always believe these guys are angels
Plus the writer is a White British dude named Rod.
Most did begin singing in the church choir. Also singers from the 1950s-1970s.
Back when grown folks topped the charts. What a masterpiece.
It really is. It's beautiful
@@damianbrink5081, yes! The song is beautiful beyond words.
Tired of all this crazy nonsense music like badbunny the island boys and so on
@@nachohernandez9491, more folks these days might have a hit or two, but they're faded out within two or three years.
Heck yeah. 🥳
Someone please build a time machine. . Back to the days of class like this.
Gianni I wish someone could build a time machine back to these days I was 22 and I loved this song then I'm 58 now and I still love this song. R.I.P. James
Lord yes! Just like people will pay to go to space, I'll pay to go back in time.
Yes please
I want to go back in time
You would have to build a very very big one ,,,, save me a seat I'm coming ❤
Silvia Figueroa Me too
I never thought I'd ever be listening to this song and comparing it to my marriage, but here i am, crying tears of gratitude for 18 years of love. This song is one of a kind, timeless, perfection!
At least u got married. I am single listening with tears. Embrace the love and stop fighting
That harmony between them is insane
Agreed 💯
I love when he hollers
INSANELY AWESOME BEAUTIFUL.
One of the best duets ever! Pure passion!
Yes indeed
Facts
❤❤100% Facts
Along w/ Reunited and The Closer I get to you
Stephanie Mills and Teddy too!
I went to high school with Patti In Bay Shore, NY, and sat next to her in choir class taught by Miss Ough. In addition, I performed with her in couple musicals we put on in the high school auditorium. Not once have I ever heard her warble off-key, screech or whisper. The woman SINGS! She's hysterically funny and very humble. She was jetting off all over the world in the late 60s...winning international awards, going to Hollywood (if I remember correctly, Quincy Jones is her godfather) and never dropped names or bragged about it. Her parents were great people also. I saw her perform a number of years ago at a jazz club in Seattle and went backstage to say "hello" and we immediately started laughing and joking around as if we'd not been in touch for decades! She's a class act.
Wow that is wonderful to hear. She is an amazing singer and this is one of my favourite songs of all time
Wow how cool
Awesome!
That's cool!
pattyの素敵なエピソードをシェアしてくれてありがとう！彼女の素晴らしい歌声のファンですが、お人柄まで素晴らしいなんて❤
Patti's humming at the 1:42 mark is the best part of the song. That vibe she puts off right there is so subtle but crazy sensual
Exactly 💯 a moment in time
This song is timeless. Patty's voice is flawless. She has gorgeous, magical eyes. James has a wonderful masculine voice. One of the best love songs ever!
Àà
This song became the Luke and Laura theme song on General Hospital or was it Luke and Holly?
@@gillianlandry809 I remember and also I love this song always!!!!!

I’ve listened to this song millions of times. Not once have I grown tired of it.
I agree with you. This song is Timeslessssssssssss.

I hope it’s in the next GTA6
Moi à chaque fois je danse sur le refrain. 😢
❤❤
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them
I know what you mean.
You are not alone, I'm so grateful that my childhood memories were this pure and real.
This gives me nostalgia and I'm 34. Real music just brings that undeniable energy. 💖
True story
Same here
The 1980s had it all...style, panache, music and talent....the ultimate decade I'm glad to say I was part of...how I miss those days....
That's true!
Verdade 🤩
*James Ingram had the voice of an angel. A bonafide RnB legend. Gone too soon. RIP, Sir... Rest well in Heaven.*
The video of this song just so you know just so good
You're right. He had the voice of an angel, now he is one.
James is a humanatarian too!
Didn’t know he passed

80s R & Bs were magical ✨️ 💖 it makes me cry each I listen to the song....rest in peace, James Ingram
You are so absolutely right.
She is still around was 1 year old in 1983.
Yes I so agree with you! What happened to the world hey? it has all gone down hill...including people...
80s headbanger here!!! You are absolutely right. The pop music and R @B in the 80s was awesome. I may be a metal headbanger but great music is great music no matter who does it!!
GOD gave us the ability to make and experience music and it's a most complete form of human communication.
One of the best duets ever
Yes I agree this was masterpiece..............
ever
🌹🌹
Very talented ❣️.
Yes indeed! So beautiful!
Idk why but I have this song on repeat....
Dressed classy, on point.
Natural hair, no valguarity no twerking. No obscenities.
Just pure panache and real talent. Glad this was my era and my 🎶 .
I'm still listening in 2024, and I truly miss the 80s, and I wish it would come back for just one day, please 🙏
Me too, but not just for a day. I MISS those days so much. So much so that life is empty without them....
❤❤❤❤
Me to
Come back to stay ‼️ Share, Repost, etc!
It was such golden back in those days for music .
One of the best duets you’ll ever hear. Two great singers. Rest In Peace to the great James Ingram.
Thanks for this comment!!!
He's not dead
@@ShevetteJackson I'm pretty sure that you heard about Google so you can check. He passed away 3 years ago!!!
@@cm8836 You right
@@ShevetteJackson sadly he is and far too young ! we lost a treasure.
When james ingram shouts when he sings yall know what time it is. R.I.P.
Hey !!
PATTI AUSTIN HAS A BEAUTIFUL, HEAVENLY VOICE. LOVE THEM TOGETHER.
Hello Connie Goldhahn
Hello how are you doing?
,,,
LOVE LOVE LOVE
Absolutely a marriage of two angelic voices
Hi Connie, how are you doing?
80's baby here, listening in 2024.
What a tune 🎶👏👏
This so is the bomb I love it its amazing ❤❤
I think this is the greatest song ever created. No exaggeration
Yes it is
Right 😊😊😊
Nothing beats the ‘80s music, especially compared to modern music. The composition and lyrics had more depth and diversity. REST IN ETERNAL PEACE JAMES. INGRAM
Super Classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥
why cant we have music like this nowdays???
Capitalism has destroyed everything, including music
Because NOWADAYS young people don't know what it is to WRITE, ARRANGE, COMPOSE, SING etc. their own music and songs, its done for them and they don't like to work hard for what they want...the artists you like such as in this video had to be talented. Thank god for sound recordings and videos! The arrangement of this track is classic, it moves the soul. I remember going to the studio years ago to lay down tracks of music before vocals, its hard work, fun and rewarding but nevertheless hard work.
@@captainpawpawchannel Liberalism (socialism, capitalism, communism, «wokeism», «democracy», etc.)
Amen. Good music is a thing of the past
@0o0o0 o0o0o0 I prefer soviet disco
RIP James Ingram
When James died I cried like he was my Daddy 😭😭...because hearing him sing put my heart at ease...love these songs til death.. R.I.P. James...#2020💙❤️💜🇧🇸
My idol James Ingram. The best male voice and vocalist on earth as far I am concerned.
I didn't know he died
@@allendonaldson1588 I just looked him up. James died in 2009 from brain cancer, sadly. He had a wonderful soulful voice. May he RIP...

It is now nearly 40 years old and I still consider it to be one of the best love songs ever made. Patti's voice is smoother than silk. Pure magic!
So true
I am 40 and I love this song 😊

Can't believe that he's gone. RIP James Ingram

@ThePariss333 this. Comment. Is. So. So. Mad. Like. Dude. Put. Down. Method. Get. Off. The. BBC. Dude.
Truly a masterpiece at its best nothing can compare to this kind of music back in the 80’s
Discovered James Ingram after the We Are The World documentary. I've been listening to his music nonstop since then, but this song is one of my favorites.
he wrote "p.y.t." for michael jackson and sang a cover of "i just can‘t stop loving you" for his anniversary. a really talented guy, was to underrated.
he has a treasure of great stuff
@@pm.v2really? Didn't know this
He's a great vocalist singer. One of the best ever.
Simply magical❤❤🎉🎉😊😊❤❤
Such a great song. RIP James Ingram
James Ingram has a voice that gives me chills still to this day. Truly one of the greats.

Man I had to listen to this classic like 10 times in a row, it brings tears just to hear what real love sounds like.
Yep still listening in 2024 , April 9th will mark 8 years since the love of my life was taken away from me. this song is so special This was "Our song" my wife and I loved this song, and if ever we went anywhere and we got separated I would whistle this song so that she could find me.
R.I.P my darling Mags, sleep well my angel until we meet again, when I will whistle this song again so you can find me. LU MU xxxxx,

Top ten of my all time ❤️👍
I grew up with this song. I listened for the first time when I was 12 years old. I'm 53 now and I'm still listening it!!
I'm just traveling down memory lane picturing my momma cooking and jamming drinking her beer enjoying the moment. She loved her music.
Oh how beautiful music was in our days.The 80's FOREVER
This is epic soul
I WAS RAISED ON THIS KIND OF MUSIC, BEING PUERTO RICAN AND ALL, AND MY PARENTS WERE BOTH PUERTO RICANS AS WELL, AND THEY LOVED THIS MUSIC!!
Took years (decades) to finally listen to this without feeling a loss. Memories.
AMAZING !!!!
Still here 2024❤ happy new years 🎉

This all-time classic came out 40 years ago. hard to believe that it still comes to all music fans in 2023!
Can somebody bring these type of songs back, plzzzzzzzzzz?

Patti is much like wine. She's gotten better looking in her golden years.
Charlesbjtown It’s almost like she didn’t care how attractive she was when she was younger. She is stunning these days for real
Yes, she is a beautiful woman!!!! Love you Patty Austin.
Yeah she nice and thick.
This song will never grow old
She has a voice you want to hear singing when you go to sleep.
4 real
Very calming.
Yes she does
YASSS, JUST SWEET AND SOFT
For sure every night! 😍🥰💞
Oh my gosh - not only is James Ingram an incredibly talented artist and unbelievably paired well with Patti Austin - but an incredible human being - "believe in yourself and trust in God" I've heard him say. He's been faithful to his wife of 35 years, even though he's been in the spotlight, stating there is no brighter light than God's - Amen. So grateful for his talent and providing such enjoyable music!
If saying "be Godly" is all it takes to be Godly, then it's not worth much, is it.
@@heddalee Who said that's all it takes?
Hi Cindy, how are you?
This song MAKES you want to fall in love with someone special!!!❤

Takes me back to Natal.....swotting while played in my little radio
Thinkin' back in time
When love was only in my mind
I realize, ain't no second chance
You've got to hold on to romance
Don't let it slide
There's a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm, oh so glad, I found you
Need you ev'ry day
Gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay
'Cause I can't go back to livin' without you
Spendin' ev'ry dime
To keep you talkin' on the line
That's how it was
And all those walks together
Out in any kind of weather
Just because
There's a brand-new way
Of looking at your life
When you know that love
Is standing by your side
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you ev'ry day
Gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay
'Cause I can't go back to livin' without you
The nights can be cold
There's a chill to ev'ry evenin'
When you're all alone
Don't talk anymore
'Cause you know that I'll be here
To keep you warm
(Oh, darling keep me warm)
Baby, come to me
(Come to me)
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
(My love)
And I'm oh so, glad I found you
(Oh, so glad I found you)
Need you ev'ry day
(Ev'ry day)
Gotta have your love around me
(Gotta have you)
Baby, always stay
'Cause I can't go back to livin' without you
Come to me
(Let me put my arms around you)
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
(Hey, I need you ev'ry day, baby)
And I'm oh, so glad I found you
Need you ev'ry day
Gotta have your love around me
(Gotta have you and I want you to stay)
Baby, always stay
'Cause I can't go back to livin' without you
Come to me
(Come to me)
Let me put my arms around you
(Love me, love me, baby)
This was meant to be
And I'm, oh so glad, I found you
These two just go together both have voices stir emotion.
Love these 80s duets.
Bring this era back the best❤❤❤❤❤
One of the"BEST" duets ever made I love Pattie and James together their voices compliment each other perfectly Rest In Heaven and sing with the Angles James 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Quincy Jones is a musical genius
One of the Best? This is to me the best duet! I was only 8 when I told my dad to keep rewinding the cassette so that I could hear the song over and over. I was only 8! 1984.
This is music that creeps under your skin. RnB at its finest during early 80ies.
you bet
Thomas Farmer Right
Always under the skin this type songs 😉😊
Well said
Oh yes !
I can relate to this song, because my high school sweetheart and I would talk for hours on end , and I would enjoy walking with her to her class, and I liked walking her home. And I didn’t mind taking her and her sister to work, when they needed a ride to work. I’m glad that they’re both happily married, with adult children. Peace!
One of the best duets, ever!!!
This was true love songs. How you truly expressed your love for your lover. Music will never die
