Love Mr. Ingram. I took care of him at St. Louis University Hospital until the day he died. Great soul, and gave us great music. God Bless his Soul. 🙏🏽

Nothing in the past 30 years comes even close to this.

Look at all that beauty in the crowd!!!! Raw Beauty!!! 💚

Black women in the 70s were so beautiful and angelic what a gift!

Look at all these natural beautiful black women.

Another soulful song about adultery. A masterpiece of a song. All the women in the audience looks entranced. Still loving it in 2023 and beyond.

They just don't write songs like this. Songs that just rip out your heart. Not to mention the soul in his voice! This is just an amazing live performance.

Not only is this performance amazing, the crowd is absolutely beautiful!!!

My autistic son brought me to this gem..July 4th 2024🎉

Black women are some of the finest on this planet

Another one of our grandparents side piece anthems🤷‍♂️😂😂

One of the best soul songs ever made....

I feel SO lucky to have grown up during a time when music like this was being created. Nothing since even comes close.

The crowd says it all! Sitting in stunned silence at the masterful performance.

Videos like this always make me wish I would've been around in the 70's. It looks so cool and those clothes are everything. And don't get me started on the music... lawd have mercy! Every genre from that decade back then I absolutely love. It seems like almost everyone back then had naturally beautiful voices. It took talent to sing in those days and that's what I admire. That's why I love people like Adele and Bruno Mars for today's generation, they're naturally talented and they prove that in their live performances.

Every woman had there natural hair back then no wigs beautiful natural black woman

If loving this song is wrong, I dont wanna be right.

2020, Sis is wearing that brim hat to the side 🔥sb: look at the self control in the audience. I luv it....

As a 9 year old, I didn't know what this song was about. Now, as am adult who hasn't heard this song in ages, I didn't realize it was about a married man cheating on his wife. It's amazing how a melody could be so nice until you realize what you are singing. hehe

This song is so deep on so many levels

I was about 18-20 when this came out, a good catholic- school raised girl and I was at once shocked and amazed, so romantic, so wrong, so wow!!

Luther was the man listen to this live performance didn't need a studio or electronic enhancement to sound good Luther's voice had feeling

2019 any one?

I'm so thankful that I was born in this era, these classics had such purpose and depth to them all we had to do is to put these records on and let them speak for you,no auto tunes, just straight from the heart

that boy can sing

Is it just me? Why can all the old school singers sing without auto-tune and backing tracks, yet today's singers need a lot of studio tricks to sound good (plus they can't sing live). Much more talent back in the day. If lovin' old school more is wrong I don't don't wanna be right.

Look at how his jaw moves while singing. Luther really knew how to manipulate his voice to make it some of the smoothest, suavest, and also most expressive vocals in the industry.

I once said this to a man back in 1973and then I accepted Christ as my Savior and realized I did want to b right but I kept on loving him until death did us part in 2021and i still love him even in death ❤

48 years old, white chick here and I never been the other chick, Luther you got heart and soul, just like Luther Vandross. Music is the 70s had raw emotions, crap today has nothing.

back when black people came together without the bullshit,fighting or drama.

OMG! you can just hear the pain and longing in his voice as he is faced with such a delima. Now that's REAL soul music.

He was a beautiful Human being that cared so much about others. As someone who grew up with his youngest son from 1st grade thru Highschool, i benefited from the Awesome role model he was, not just the Great entertainer. THANK YOU LUTHER for all you gave to me, as well as the Ingram Family.

This was such an amazing video… The emotion on his face and the crowds reaction is outstanding. I can watch this every day!!

This song so wrong but feels so right

A timeless side piece classic.

He sang that song too good this definitely a TRUE story. 8/19

it's wonderful to see the tears in these beautiful women eyes... what a voice

one of my favorite songs, one of my worst heart aches was loving a married woman

He's got such a great voice and style.

This was my jam back in the day when i was in junior high! ❤Luther sang about a scenario that happens every single day! Lither killed this jam! ❤

I swear some people may agree with me some people may not but the women back then were just as beautiful as the women we have today😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

So much raw emotion and soul in this song. My two favorite lines: If I can't see you when I want, I'll see you when I can. And: Am I wrong for trying to hold on, to the best thing I ever had?

The days of a full band. Gone are those days! Nice music...it looked like he had some of those women hypnotized!

It is 2020!! A song that never gets old. thank you Luther Ingram.

His Sister was actually my School teacher at Alton High in Alton IL. Before he really became gravely ill he had the intention of forming a band composed of myself and two other of his nephews. Believe it or not both of his nephews had distinct features of famous people. One actually looked like prince the other like baby face. Both could sing a peacock out of her feathers lol R.I.P Master Luther Ingram

Wow, so many naturally gorgeous dark-skinned women with their beautiful natural hair in this video. Love it .. it's the best!! ❤👌✌

Back in the day, this song had so much meaning to me. I was totally in love with someone who owned a Volkswagen Dealership. He was married and my heart got broken but I did get an Audi Fox for an awesome deal. Still think of this guy all the time.

This song will always be relevant, because so many of us will find ourselves in situations such as this. It involves such deep love but it involves such deep pain at the same time.

Being born in 1974, I am a product of beautiful music like this. I feel these 70'S classics inside of my soul.

so many groups in the 1960's and so many great groups and songs in the 1970's. Gosh, life is short, and I sure miss those days. and lost so many friends. Keep punching!!

We grew up to be honest and straightforward and direct

How could this be so intimate in a stadium? Holy moly.

Grew up hearing my parents playing this and I fell in love with this kind of music. But, Darn I never knows it was about cheating until now!!! Wow

WattsStax Festival in August 1972. For those who haven't seen this epic festival of black music and love, check it out on KZfaq.

What an incredible performance, the voice, the emotion, the story and the band is killing it!

All those beautiful Black women. I'm just mesmerized. We are so beautiful. No makeup. No weave. Just pure natural beauty! Good God! They're skin is just 😍😍 And the men! Wheew!

Ahh such a hauntingly beautiful melody....about such an ugly reality... and yet. Loving this song wrong or right, still!

These are beautiful Black women WOW😘😘😘

APRIL 11th 2024 anyone? JAMAICA 👌 💛 🇯🇲 GREETINGS NYC 🇯🇲

As a kid back in the 70's this was my jam. And yes, I understood the lyrics very very well. I have always appreciated soul music!

This song is deep and has a hypnotic groove to it. You cant help but get pulled into this track!

Grew up listening to this and barely at 37 realizing the meaning of it. Boy oh boy it also hits differently when you love someone and can't be together due to your situations.

A lot of broken hearts to this timeless classic 💔 .

Someone said today's artists care more about being popular than good. this is about as soulful as it gets! What a great voice and great lyrics!

This song hits differently when you are wanting and with a guy whose in an open relationship , believe me when I say it's just a step away from being with a married man ,I hate myself for it because his everything I have wanted in a man and his chemistry and emotional maturity is something that I have craved for years it's so painful , I am steering the courage to end things with him

pure class how could anyone not like this mans vocals he oozes soul

Something magical about the delivery of this rendition! Simply magic!

2024 yall.....I would've love to have been there

Omg I'm only 23 now but I had a crush on this man and his music since I was 7. The raw feelings he puts in this song still brings me tears of every emotion. Happiness,anger,sadness. How?

He has totally captivated the audience.

Back when live performance is better than the studio version.

Still sound good 1972 I was 16 years old 66 now and like I said still sound good

SMDH,IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW THINKING ABOUT THE LOVE OF MY LIFE MY HUSBAND I MISS YOU LEE THIS IS MY FIRST BIRTHDAY WITHOUT YOU REST PEACEFULLY BABY I'M TRY TO ENJOY MYSELF I KNOW YOU WANT ME TOO.....

I absolutely love his voice, I miss music like this.

What a beautiful song, it takes me back to the days when I was in my early teens, 1974. How beautiful were those days!

One of the best soul songs ever written ❤️

I haven't heard this song in a while..I forgot how beautiful Luther's voice was. Especially on this particular song...Wow....I love all music... but the old Motown sound cannot be beat...

Luther became an "ICON" with song!!! Love both Luther's!!

YESSS 💃 💃 💃 💃 I'D RATHER BE RIGHT. THANK YOU.

God this song is so beautiful 😍 And for those who find yourselves in this situation, show yourself grace. We are capable of loving more than one person at a time. Love is that BIG. It's painful, but it's also so goddamn beautiful!

2020, where y’all at?

Watt Stax! One of the best music documentaries of all time! Stax at their peak, and the beginning of the end, sadly

I knew Luther in his late life! I was so amazed by his name talent. I remember when the movie Hustle and Flow came out. And this so g was featured, he and his family were so proud...as they should be.

Best cover of this song!

Man them women was glued to this performer. Look at them! & all that brass! Wattstax had to be an amazing experience.

No Cops needed. Just good singing. The Seventies are all I think about and remember the older I get!!!!

This GROWN FOLKS MUSIC!!! smdh!!! lol

...but nobody wants to say how beautiful and expressive Luther is?

I will always love this song!!!!!

Black women...you see how beautiful you look in the 70s! You should never put weaves in your hair!

This is still one of my favorite songs and it’s way before my time ❤❤❤

Exactly this song is about adultry I have been alone since my beloved late husband went to heaven l am a fool l am so lonely at times but if and when Our Almighty Creator Wants He Will Get What Man ♂️ He wants for me if not I know that My Beloved Late Husband Is Waiting for me in heaven we will live in spirit for ever and look down to see Our Child And More Grandchildren And Their Families More Grandchildren For Me And My Beloved Husband In Heaven

what a voice!! ❤

When blacks were proud of having Afros

Wow! 1970 This song takes me way back. I had the record, would play it all the time as a kid

What a performance! Such beautiful women too!! Lord! I don’t wanna be right!!!!!

Beautiful song. An ode to anyone who has been in and understands love, and what love can do to a person. He asks the question to which he knows the answer, but is looking for redemption for his soul over his quandary. Yes, it's wrong, we all know, shoot, he knows. But love makes you feel otherwise. Someone said it's a warning...yes it is, 'cause in the end, you have nothing and have given everything for it. Now that's soul! RIP Luther...we understand, and thank you for leaving us this gem.

I'm only 13 and I believe that old school is the best because most music today not real I'm raised buy my granny and I feel that to be real you really have to go through something ....

Handsome and beautiful voice! He makes you feel his music ❤️❤️❤️

Songs from this era are just phenomenal.
