Lauryn’s voice is as amazing as ever. Ron sounds great as well. Lauryn needs to hit the lab with someone like Salaam Remi(Nas, Amy Winehouse, The Fugees, and countless others)and bring something new to the masses.

Nah man, it was on the 2003 album with Burt Bacharach. Its the same song. This “new” one just has added Lauryn Hill vocals. Its still amazing, i’m jus sayin it aint technically “new”.

2 legends remaking a classic song…….absolutely awesome!! Lauryn, give the people what we need, real talent and subject matter that has meaning. You are 1 of the most gifted women in music history, now show the world why!! Do your thing.
I love it Lauren Hill never lost it, u dont have to be like beyonce all over the place all the time to be relavent. Ron Isley a old G nobody can touch him those new jacks got nuthin on him.
A FANTASTICAL example of the closest Man, Woman or Child could ever come to PERFECT. A very fine example of what music should sound like. Don’t trip I’m a Hip-Hop Head through and through, but the sweet serenade of Miss Lauryn and Mr. Bigg… It’s almost to much. Peace Bless

Amazing song, amazing duo. BUT isn’t this an old Isley song? I think Lauryn just added her voice on the track. Still dope tho.

KG… you’re probably thinking of The Carpenters, who made this song a hit.
