Bryson Tiller - Sorrows sent me here :)

When I firsf moved to California in 1980, this song was very popular. I re, ember it from music playing at the very first party I was invited to by my co workers. ❤

Only 56 comments? He deserves so much more.

So good that sir bryson brought me back to this classic

[xyztheb]

this song is full of good sample material!

This used to get a lot of radio play in Oz on 4QR/4BH/4KQ although it wasn’t a single from the album… I regard this as his next best after the Saddler

Bryson Tiller brought me here. Goodness gracious this sample, but more importantly...this song >>>

Tiller brought me here but first time that I heard this sample was on Infamous Mobb - Borderline. That producer flipped this pretty well too.

My favourite Peter Allen song, it's over - I'm :)

[murraykins]

Such an underated singer songwriter, in my opinion he should have been nurtured more by the music moguls of the a shame and sorely missed.

Oh, gosh, has it been 25 years right after this Aussie-based resident in all of Mr. Peter Allen succumbed to AIDS, although his legacy and voice will live on for so many years to come, as his first emphasis track circa 1980 called One Step Over the Borderline proves to be like a huge, moderate smash hit indeed. Wonderful song, as I congratulate you anyway, PA! (BTW, ex-Doobie Brother Michael McDonald also supplies the background vocals for that said tune as darn well, too.)

Love this album. Saw him live in Los Angeles in early '80's, bought the album and still listen to it. Thank you for uploading!

[ladyindigo]

The sample of this song was so worth it! #brysontiller

[MauriceFlower]

I have this record/vinyl. I think it's good all thru. Thanks for uploading.

Here from Bryson. Gravez flipped this shit hard

[BrOnTheBeat]

Bryson Tiller brought me her. Sounds like a chip n Dale rescue ranger song but its dope

[martindavies]

One wonders if Madonna’s Borderline was a little inspired by this!
