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.

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.

'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?

[shadow1929]

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

[dclary]

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.
