Hey man, I played guitar for Curtis in the late 80's.This is so great! I spoke with Earl Monroe and he said he is releasing some new BB and Q. I can't wait. God bless his memory! Patrick
I went to college with Curtis. He'd give concerts on campus singing a lot of Vandross songs. Dreaming was hot in Baltimore. RIP Mr Ram...Thanks for the music!! I'll never forget

I remember going to the record store asking for this. The guy behind the counter put the record on and played it. “This one” ? He asked. I said yep. That’s it. He took the record off the player, put it in it’s jacket and GAVE it to me. It was a promo copy that I guess he didn’t need anymore. I felt so lucky. Remembering this made me come in here and listen. Thanks Curtis!
Curtis was diabetic and was very sick for most of his adult life. He did well to be able to get classic tracks like this out before his untimely death.
Yes, it was very sad that he passed away at a very young age. Diabetes is a very serious illness and it is not always cured because the immune system in the body does not function.
Curtis was always the headliner of all the talent shows on campus at WSSU. I was fortunate enough to know and hang out with him briefly when he came over to visit my room mate in the dorm on campus. Unfortunately they both have passed... RIP to my best friend(roomy) and Curtis, the world has lost such major talent.
Yes, like you, I remember the concerts and talent shows at WSSU and Curtis with his amazing voice, when he would sing peabo Bryson's and George Benson's songs. I'm was always a fan of his and only knew him a little bit on campus there. I miss him a lot, and God has truly picked an angel. Mary Mc Leod Herring.
I did 2 shows as a dancer with the brother, one was at the Steven Center in Winston Salem home town to both of us , yes home boys 💙we turned it out..R.I.P. my brother you had so much to give to the music world..
I didn't know he passed away. This was the only song I knew and I was 8 years old when I heard and watched enjoyed the video clip. Never knew his name. May Curtis Hairston Soul Rest in Peace 🙏🏽. Great song.
My family and I attended the same church (First Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, NC) as he did in the late 70's, even though I honestly was a little young to remember him then. My mom remembered him singing in the choir, and said that he had a wonderful voice. I never knew that there was a video to this song, which is my favorite of his. But he is still very much missed here. R.I.P.
" I will climb the highest mountain, I will swim the deepest sea, I do anything to get your lovin' back to me!" That's my favourite line. R.I.P. Curtis you were one of the best and are sadly missed. Long live his music!
Amazing Curtis Hairston, beautiful voice and songs, I use to dance to his music back in the day, great memories in the clubs or parties dancing and singing along. Thankyou for the good times, as they say gone but not forgotten. RIP Curtis Hairston xx
apologies i was devastated that we lost 1 of the greatest smoove vocal artists of the 80s and he passed in 1996 through diabettes curtiss you will always be in my thoughts peace but never forgotten
These are the kind of videos we enjoyed back in the 80's and 90's , just pure , simple , right to the point , nothing extraordinary extravagant = a lot of wasted money spent today ! Classic video and represents the time and great era / decade !
CELIO, ninguém fez a cópia do vídeo, até hoje não tem nada da apresentação dele no Portelao, eu tinha todo o Show em DVD, acabei perdendo Fernandinho e Corello e que tinham esse vídeo, tinha também a Sybil, Incrível Curtis dançou todas!!!! Muito bom, saudades da boa música dos 80's
Curtis had an awesome voice! I sang with him back in the day. We almost started a group together consisting of me, Leroy Burgess, Russell Patterson and of course Curtis himself. I miss him very much. RIP Curtis.
Love everything, NYC , innocent , then ,and your voice so smooth, and the vintage car, late 60's early 70's I saw the cool dads with those cars with a garage , suburbs in Canada
Check out BB & Q's Genie Album. Curtis was the lead vocalist on that album. Hands down a classic. Minutes Away is just amazing. Glad all of this stuff is available on MP3 now. I could care less if Curtis was gay or straight. This man had monster vocal talent. I was actually fortunate enough to pick up an autographed copy of his album. Curtis = LEGEND. RIP.
I'm not sure if it would ever happen however I think an episode of unsung needs to be done about this man. His vocals were remarkable. Died at the age of 34 gone way too soon however thankful that the world got to know his songs.
Unreal. I was SOOO into this tune. I even have a signed copy of this I picked up from Bluebird records in Luton. This was progressive ! Thanks for jogging those '80's memories !
Good look on posting this video. I didn't ever know that he had any videos. I can't wait to see some of his other live performances, especially singing Genie as a member of the BB&Q band.
Hey Chunk, Thanks my friend, so nice to get the comment! We can go back anytime we turn on our cd players! Curtis was a southern gentleman and as nice as a saint. I turned Curtis on to Jonathan Butler in 88 and we added some of his tunes to his show. All the best mate. Cheers, Patrick I was an artist peoduced by C and C Music Factory, my group was "The Brat Pack". We were on the Hitman and Her show and their tour thru the UK. We were with Big Fun and a few others. I miss London.
Ah, man! This really brings back good memories. Too young to go to the club..never knew what the artist looked like..just heard great music being pumped by Kiss and WBLS. Tears of joy (in remembering good times) and partial for sorrow, for those that have left the physical. Regardless, their work makes them immortal. Due ya' thing Mr. Hairston.
i am so glad someone posted this video i have been searching for it for years. curtis had a golden voice no one could match so sad he died before his time.
@lipcoc Curtis was a musical legend during his time. He actually sang with Luther Vandross before Luther became famous. Curtis died in 1996 at the young age of 34. Very tragic.
it was another sad loss when we lost David Cole ....but as you know,u never forget the music left behind...its the same with luther,he was and still is my all time favourite,and i still cant believe hes gone...Jonathon Butler has a great voice...lies is in my car at this moment,,,great track ...hahahahaa i remember the hit man and her..with pete waterman.used to watch it when i got home from the club i worked at,,ex bouncer...im in london myself,and its ok,,,,but better in the 80's my friend.

@Lady Beezay No doubt that is true, but Curtis had had health trouble from a very young age.
34 is so young. Great voice. R.I.P. Curtis.
One of the greatest vocalists of his generation. His untimely passing was a tragedy. Definitely taken way too soon. Sing in Paradise Angel 😇 😢
