YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"This is a song I wrote with Charlie Drayton. It's called "All ALone" and it's about knowing that the world doesn't owe you anything. You have to get out and earn it. Quincy Jones, "Q" labeled me, back in the day, as one of the New York Super Singers, because we could sing anything, any style, anytime, as long as you had...the check!
That said, without the acknowledgment and support from your peers, your comrades, your loved ones, there's no vehicle by which you can get your contribution out there, for all to do with, what they will.
So I am so glad to have had a hand in giving back the love I have received. And I hope I was able to give half as much as you have given me.
My final thought..is just this, people, let's just keep loving each other. That's the only message that counts. Life is entirely too short, and you never know, when the head bartender is gonna say, "You don't have to go home..but you can't stay here"
So, live love and I thank you again, from the depths of my soul"
