Oh no biggie!. Hey honey, I helped create this sexy hit. Oh, I forgot. Lolol

[@abrahambowen696]

Is that right cool. This song symbolizes my birth year because I was born when this sing was released in 1974 .

[@abrahambowen696]

Back then you had to have instrument playing talent.

You can understand why I would have a psychological attachment to anything from my birth year.

Oh how well I can remember hearing this man Johnny Bristol singing this song everywhere I went, and it was a massive hit record for him. I was 15 at that time, which was in 1974, when this song swept through everywhere like an extremely very intense high fever of love. It makes me greatly reminince and still feel the same spirit when I hear this song today even at the age of my blessed years of now being 63 years old. I love Jonny Bristol, and he was a very sexy handsome man. May he rest in peace. I want to thank him for the love and beautiful music he brought to all of us throughout the world, although I am an American.

[@carnellwashington1424]

❤ my siblings and my mom always had competition at home. We all won at our formative talent years. My mom suggested a talent performance. My brother went first. Followed by my little sister, next to last, was my sister who is older. I went last. And I didn't disappoint. I lip synced "hang on in there baby!" And of course I won. I remember mom just sitting on the couch with her beautiful smile. It was just like yesterday.

I've listened to this song a million times, but I just realized it has a very subtle sexual undertone to the lyrics. That's the genius of music in the 70's. The music was so good, the nuance was sometimes missed.
