Is It You? _ Lee Ritenour

Is It You? _ Lee Ritenour

[_HMCB_]

I was 11 years old when this song came out. I didn’t hear it for the first time until nearly my mid 20s. It was so infectious. Yet so utterly understated in the way it did it. I am laying in bed this morning now at the age of 53 and YouTube recommended it after many years again of not having heard it. It moved me to tears. It’s just that good.

Thank you for reading and I hope today brings you special memories and one particularly outstanding thing to happen in your life. ❤

Perry could power a small city with the energy of his voice...

[ddrums]

That couldn’t be anyone else but the great Phil Perry on Lead Vocals. One of the most underrated singers of jazz and R&B! His singing range is endless!!

[cullyred]

Phil Perry has a voice that could easily challenge any of the greats on American Idol or elsewhere....and I love this style of music still today!

This song came out in 1981 and it still holds up. It's a smooth upbeat jazz song that you can play at any time and the whole room or gathering would be at ease. Phil Perry brings this song to life with his soulful voice. Thank you Lee Ritenour and Thank you Phil Perry

Yes, girlfriend is still listening, and I love that song. A strong combo of R & B and jazz! Reminds me of someone very special. That song describes how love can be. It can sneak up on you❤ sung and orchestrated excellently. Plenty of soulful and good vibes.

As I listen to this masterpiece from 1981, it's amazing think this was actually on contemporary radio, on the actual Billboard Top 40, and was being listened to by millions of young people in 1981 from ages 15 to 30.
The level of musicianship, songwriting, and performance is truly off the charts (no pun intended).
No nudity, hos, n-words, c-words, b-words or any other insults and nudity required here, in order to get your point across as an entertainer/musician to an audience. Imagine that!!
A big thank you to Lee Ritenour, Eric Tagg, and all the great musicians who contributed to this track and performance. Enjoy! Cheers, Sam.

This is such a soulful, beautiful song! I was around in 1981 when it was released, but I had completely forgotten about it until a clip popped up in my YouTube shorts. Thank you to the YT algorithm gods for this bit of infectious nostalgia.
