Most gorgeous song ever. Everything about it is amazing, light, happy, upbeat. Backgrounds singing, instruments, the 80s were the best, artists really cared about their music&put everything into it. Even the film's of the 80z were best, and they had amazing soundtracks hits. I miss 80s so bad it hurts, makes me cry tbh! I wish can go back.

All TIME CLASSIC... 80S FLAVOR

[@petroskoutromanos331]

The ebb and flow in his voice is infectious..All time classic!!!,and will be relevant forever

[@DE-hi9mc]

Alex voice is unique. Those days they all have different unique voices, that can’t be copied. What a classic! Evergreen! My older siblings banged the shit out of this banger in the 80’s. Legends

[@Folk_var]

I remember this so well from the Streatham ice rink in London, they played it every time. I was just a kid but I loved skating to this. So takes me back.

This tune is absolutely legendary

[@neil1982]

I heard it in the 80's.... I appreciated it in Grand Theft Auto 4... and now here were are, 12 years on from the game still listening to it.

[@nicke5403]

This was my record of 1989 - and a fantastic album, good luck on your farewell tour Alex- hope to see you Shrewsbury to roll back the years!!!!

[@idrisadams1428]

Alex O'Neal! As far as I am concerned, he is incontrovertibly one of my favorite singers of all time. Fantastic voice! Love him!

[@harryrammer]

It’s a pity Lisa Keith - of the beautiful backing vocals, wasn’t on the video getting her true credit...

[@lambsey06]

@babyfaced bella. she's in this video, I can see her.

[@laronbennett568]

Wow

[@dhendrix6638]

Always felt that Jam and Lewis could have featured her on this one. She's right upfront in the chorus.

[@mcdonoghrahloh459]

Poor Lisa:Everyone knows her name and voice, but not her face!!

[@des-m3s]

a joy to the ear 80's r&b

[@mrbrownroyyal]

Love AON!! I see you AJ!! Lisa Keith is singing the hook, if you dont know who she is, she is the one singing co-lead with Janet Jackson on "Diamonds" she was in the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis camp!
