Kenny G has long been the musician many jazz listeners love to hate. A phenomenally successful instrumentalist whose recordings make the pop charts, Kenny G's sound has been a staple on adult contemporary jazz and smooth jazz radio stations since the mid-'80s, making him a household name. Kenny G is a fine player with an attractive sound (influenced a bit by Grover Washington, Jr.) who often caresses melodies, putting a lot of emotion into his solos. Because he does not improvise much (sticking mostly to predictable melody statements), his music largely falls outside of jazz. However, because he is listed at the top of "contemporary jazz" charts and is identified with jazz in the minds of the mass public, he is classified as a jazz artist.

Kenny G Lyrics

I still remember our first french kiss
The moment when I knew that you, would make sweet love to me
The moment that I knew, you'd always be the one, one,
I'd be dreaming of
[Chorus]
Twas was a long time ago, when we fell in love
But it's nice to know, that as we grow old
That our love still shines like gold
Baby, I can remember the way, the way that we laughed
And you, you were my lover and girl, my best friend
And its crazy I would go through the ups and downs
Our feelings never change, knowing in my heart, you'll always be the one, one
I'll be dreaming of
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Ohhhhhhh
Twas was a long time ago, when we fell in love
Even longer ago, when we both were young
But it's nice to know, that as we grow old
That our love still shines like gold, gold, gold
[Chorus]
