[@jzloveinfinite]

I remember I was 10 years old. I was lying down in the back seat of my mom's green Nova listening to this while riding down the highway in Birmingham, AL at night. I would look at the street lights playing peek-a-boo while riding in the back seat. I felt so at peace.

I have always thought he was underrated. He belongs in the same group as Marvin, Luther and Teddy. I love Alexander O'Neill. It makes me feel so good to hear that people who were born after the 80s love his music. Every generation knows what good music sounds like. ❤💝❤️‍🔥💖

Classic R&B. The best R&B in my opinion and still knocks spots off of modern "R&B". Still brilliant.

[@rayc2344]

Maybe I am just being nostalgic, but I get such bitter sweet emotions from hearing the heart of the eighties music. I am 57 now, so would have been in my 20’s when this song was hitting. Such a beautiful vibe at that time, and this song for me is kinda an anthem for then. My only regret was not slowing down and soaking it all in, my goodness how much more simpler and pure things were then, and I simply didn’t have a clue.. 🥂 to the eighties and great artists that represented so well..
