March 2021, 59 years old and this song still hits me in a smoove and powerful way. Confunkshun is a very underrated group. They have made some of best slow jams on the planet! Timeless.....

[@veronicaturman4898]

Here I am on March 4th 2022, 59 years old and this song pulls at my heart. I was so in love with this dude when this song came out. All I listen to back in the day was this song thinking about the guy I was in love with.... This is a great song...

[@mikeisembert]

Underrated massively. Great arrangements that would match EWF or T..O.P

[@shermanmiller3203]

I’m 60 and this song is in my all time Top 10, there’s just something about this song, I’ve never been able to figure out why I’m so attached to it.

[@colejx78]

Its about the time and place that highlights that time of your life as it does mine. This song jumped into my thoughts while writing a letter. and I had to immediately play it.

This jam & also Magic Woman, amazing music!! They don't music like this anymore that's for sure!!

[@superduperman2k11]

This is one of the Baaaadest Groups that ever, Played I rate them right there with Earth,Wind&Fire, Isley Brothers, Commodores,War, and any other Bands from back in the day. the Horns,Keyboards,Guitar, Bass, the Vocals, these Guys Jammed, I mean they Rocked the House for many Years!!

[@brotherdaryll1399]

I saw them in concert in Hartford, Connecticut . For me I loved them more for their slow jams. I listen to them all them all the time even now. Honey Wild is one my favorites.....and Make it last.. These slow jams will hold up against any ever made.....classics

Sorry, I must correct my last comment to you.

EWF also did a lot of collaborating with Terry Kath and Peter Cetera of the group 'Chicago'.

I was in a Club called "Down Beach Corner" in Hawaii. I knew (CFS) was in town. I wanted to have some fun and pretend I was in the group. I asked the D.J. to announce we were there. Once he did, I stood up and waved. Everyone applauded. I turned around face to face with Michael Cooper who was heading to the dance floor. Busted ! He looked at me and we both had a laugh. I went to the Concert and while Evelyn Campaign king was performing I heard someone say hey Confunkshun. To my surprise it was Micheal Cooper peering out from the side of the Stage. We both Laughed again.
