Late August 1991. I had just graduated high school in May and was on my way to my freshman year in college when this song came out. It was everywhere. Brings back so many good memories. Every time I hear this song, I am transported to that era. Great times.

[@delam1970]

November 2,1991. The day Shadoe Stevens announced on American Top 40 that the new number one song is Karyn White’s Romantic. That song ended Mariah Carey’s three week stay at the top with Emotions then the following week Karyn White was dethroned by Prince and The New Power Generation with Cream. Great 90’s dance hit co- written by Karyn along with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and was produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

[@wmbrown6]

That same day, in the UK, "The Fly" by U2 was #1 on the 'Official' chart. They ended Bryan Adams' 16-week run at the top there with "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You," and in turn would give way the next week to a cover of Tommy Roe's "Dizzy" by someone called Vic Reeves And The Wonder Stuff.

😘↗Sooo beautiful; I went out and bought the whole 💿 albums 🎵 musical joint that listed to attached 🎵 musical joint Romantic on that I enjoyed to listen to; and sing along to Karen White saying in singing the made-up words of sign language so right and sooo beautifully heartfelt by her rich sounds of natural tones of singing voices that millions of people loved to make the 🎵 musical joint a top hit back in the days the joint were being exposed as new by Karen White.😘↗Love peace & respect to Karen White for sharing such beauty of hers that plays importance in my life.

[@gmcneoplan84]

What a leadoff song for the Ritual of Love album. Love Karyn's vocals in this song. Man, I really appreciate the backing vocalists (Darron Story and Andre Shepard) in this song. And of course, I love the musical instrumentation used in this jam by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

*When I first heard this I thought it was an LA & Babyface song. But later discovered it's Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis working their Flyte Time magic!*

[@djnitetrain6171]

Right! It's almost like Jam and Lewis intentionally let Babyface know 'we can duplicate your sound' lol. All 4 of them are good friends by the way

[@MrEXtraRaw]

@@djnitetrain6171 Yes, they are. They have a song together called "He Don't Know Bout It". Also Jam has said he & Terry intentionally mimicked the LaFace sound for Karyn''s song. He also said this about a song he & Terry did for Johnny Gill called "Wrap My Body Tight". Babyface has also admitted he & LA were such big fans of Jam & Lewis, that's why they called themselves LA & Babyface. They have great respect for each other.

[@djnitetrain6171]

@@MrEXtraRaw That was very smart of them to do to keep her sound consistent. They were geniuses.

[@gmcneoplan84]
