Okay, here's the story. My husband and I watched a movie called, "Black and Blue" starring Mary Stuart Masterson and Anthony LaPaglia. Anyway, towards the end of the movie there is a song playing on the radio and I'm pretty sure I've heard it before but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere on the Internet. Some of lyrics are as follows...

{beginning of song} Mmmm Girl you don't how I feel. Babe you got to know my love is real. If you are unsure and questioning, I'll give you all my love and that's how it's going to be. You are the one I need come rain or shine, just give me the time and I'll make you mine. You are the one. Girl I know you've been hurt before, somebody like you deserves more. So baby take a chance, try thinking with your heart. Come take my hand and we'll never be apart. You are the one I need come rain or shine. Just give me the time and I'll make you mine...

This is the only part of the song that is sang in the movie and I have tried searching for the verses and have had no luck. I even checked the credits at the end of the movie and there is nothing listed. If anyone recognizes the lyrics, I would be extremely thankful if you could tell me the name of the song and the artist.

Thanks in Advance:)
Diana

Come rain or come shine by (a lot of artists). Since I haven't seen the movie, all I can do is guess that it was by BB King and Eric Clapton. Also, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald to name a few.

Try Ray Charles. Black and Blue's a oldie but a goodie. Cheers, Tom

Hi. Thanks guys, I went to Youtube but that is not the correct song or artist. Let me see if I can give you more to go on. I bought the movie so here are some facts as taken from the back of the DVD case...

"Based on the "Oprah Book Club" selection by Anna Quindlen, Black and Blue is a dramatic story that examines the fear and cruelty that surrounds domestic abuse. Frannie Benedetto (Mary Stuart Masterson) and her son Robert have fled their former home and move into a new neighborhood far away, adopting new identities in an effort to normalize their lives. They are fleeing from Robert's father Bobby (Anthony LaPaglia) who position as a respected, police detective prevents them from reporting his abusive nature to the authorities. But just as Frannie and Robert have managed to settle into their new community, making friends and finding hope, Robert's curiosity about his father may create an opportunity for Bobby to track down his former family and make them pay for fleeing him".

The movie came out in 1999 and I watched the ending credits but it does not mention the song nor does it say anything on the case. The lyrics that I first posted are exactly as it is sung in the movie before switching scenes. I believe it is sung by a black artist and it sounds as if it was a song that was current in the time (1997-1999). I first thought maybe the song title was, "You Are The One", because it is repeated many times but upon searching for those words, I come up with 50 million songs (figuratively speaking) with that title.

I hope this helps a little more. I will continue my search as well, thank you so much for your time in helping me find this song.

Take care,
Diana

I am looking for the same song. Have you had any luck finding out who sings it? The song is also in the movies deadly pursuit, mother may I sleep with danger and a child too many. Let me know if you've had any luck.

Hello, how are you? Unfortunately no, I have had no luck finding the information for this song. I even offered a $10 prize for anyone that could get me the correction information but still a no go:mad:

I have looked for over almost a year now.

I can tell you this is a black artist, I have heard his songs before but cannot come up with his name. I can tell you it is much older than the 90s, more like from the 60's maybe 70's. But I am looking adimitly and will let you know if I find it.

I too am searching for this song, I heard it on the hallmark movie; The Note II: Taking A Chance On Love. I thought that it might be a song by Van Morrison. But, not knowing the name, I find it difficult to search the artist.

I have looked for this song for hours and hours. I just heard it again in a dance scene in the movie.. A Touch of Hope it showed on LMN today. 10.8.09... I agree it is a black artist. Surely someone will come up with the answer soon.

I'm kimneek, I've been looking for this song 4 ever if any one finds it hit me up on my space... please

Did anyone ever figure this out? I emailed Lifetime Movie Network... waiting to hear back from them. If anyone knows the answer, please share. Thanks!

Hey TB$, did they finally answer you?

Could the song be "Back At One", by Bryan McKnight?

No, it isn't Kitkat22.A sequence of the song can be found in this video, from second 2.13.

Hey kitkat22, do yu know who its from? :-)

Was that the song you were looking for? Speedball1 has answered your question. Be sure to rate our answers if we helped.

Hey kitkat22, do yu know who its from? :-)
I think Luther Van Dross did a version of it.

Now it's driving me crazy! If you find it please let me know. I hate to be stumped by something! I'll keep searching.

Hello speedball1,what's the name of the song? Because ray charles has sang a lot of songs!!
Thanks

I'm also trying to find the name and artist of this song... please let me know if you have any luck thanks...

im kimneek, ive been looking for this song 4 ever if any one finds it hit me up on my space.....please
Look non farther. Black and Blue was sung by Frankie Laine, Cheers, Tom

I've been looking for this song too. It's also played in the movie
'The Perfect Mother' with Tyne Daly and Ione Skye. (wedding reception scene) I'm pretty sure it's a 70s song. I have spent countless hours going through all the songs and black artists of that decade, trouble is so many of them sound the same, Boz Scaggs was the closest voice match I could find, but definitely not him. All I can think of is that maybe Hallmark/lifetime own the copyright, which would make it near impossible to find this beautiful song. Pity! If it could be purchased they would rake in a fortune! LOL!

:):)
I've been looking for this song for over a year now.Grrr. As a point of interest, it also plays in the movie 'The Perfect Mother' starring Tyne Daly and Ione Skye.(during wedding reception scene) that's where I first heard it. After months of trying to figure out who the artist is, the closest voice match I could find was Boz Scaggs, but it's definitely not him. Trouble is... so many of these artists sound similar, and of course it may be that (Hallmark/Lifetime have the copyright for the song, so if it's unreleased we may never be able to find it. What a pity! If it is ever available for sale it would make a fortune for those 2 networks.Hope somebody will eventually track it down. 'Put me on the list of people to be notified' It's one of the most beautiful songs(my opinion) I've ever heard.

OK evry one I just watch black and blue in skool and I le the song to so I looked it up ended up on her but I finish looking OK the song is by the o jays

'WOW!! I will look them up, if you are right then you have to be the smartest 'guy' on the internet, because 100s of people have been searching for this song for years! Wiil get back to you with info.

Re: O'Jays, I went to iTunes & CD Universe, but the song is not there, the group does have 2 songs, by the titles 'You're The One' & 'You & Me' but they are not the ones that play in the movies mentioned(I think you're right about the group though, definitely sounds like them. This particular song is probably copyright owned by Hallmark Lifetime so would not have been released. I was looking for a song used in another movie, my son played it to one of those lyric sites and it came up as 'No Match' so this one would probably do the same. Still... it was clever of you to come up with the group name, nobody else has ever mentioned them. Thanks for trying.

I remember hearing the song "Black & Blue" a long time ago in the 40's but my research tells me it was sung by Van Helen in 1988. Regads, Tom

The song is not called 'Black And Blue' that's the name of the movie, the song plays in. as I said, I don't think anyone will be able to find it, the copyright is probably owned by Timelife & Hallmark.You can see 'heaps of people have been looking for it for years, It's a beautiful song, if you got to YouTube you can hear it played in the clip of 'Taking A Chance On Love' with Genie Francis. Maybe you can identify it??

Have an update Re: this song. I watched the movie on Youtube (would love to own it)but can't get it in Australia... anyway in the comments below clip 8/9, a poster (3 weeks ago) wrote that the song is called
"You Are The One" she stated that it was sung by Eric Clapton, but the guy singing it in the movie was Matthew Perry Jones(I think she meant Perryman Jones, in any case, I googled all 3 names, scrolled through all their songs but that title didn't come up anywhere on any of the song lists. I wonder if anyone on this board can find out more from this info?

I tried using Shazam to identify this song and came up with nothing. Somebody must know who sang this song.

I have even checked with several DJ's and nobody can tell me anything :( I am still actively searching however and will post it if and when I find something.
