I am 70 years old. When this song came out, I was around 30 something and still had a very youngish vib. Today, this song came on the radio as I parked my car to have a hair cut. I stayed in the car to hear the entire song on LOUD, even though it made me a little late. Priorities!!!

[@Xevics]

Patrice Rushen is criminally underrated , I’d say she’s up there with Sade , Rose Royce , Debarge & Mary Wells who just have RAW angelic voices where the instrumentals are built around them . Thats a rare talent , it’s usually the other way around

I used to work and became friends with a woman that looked just like Patrice Rushen!! I used to tease her all the time. This song will always bring me back to the days I lived in Dallas and Arlington, TX. The beautiful memories!!!!

One of the greatest songs ever made in history of music

[@ghostfrom1950]

I've said it once and I'll say it again, THE SAX SOLO NEEDS TO MAKE A COMEBACK!

[@lokendraannamunthodo7857]

Johnny Harlock... So glad you made that interjection. That reminds me of the best ever saxophone piece (voted so) from Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street". If you haven't heard this, you're missing out big time.

[@danielking5203]

Say it again for those at the back 🙌😩

You are a gentleman of taste and refinement, like the rest of us enjoying this.

The song is timeless, the recording is superb, the bass is masterpiece, her voice is so beautiful and I'm glad I found it.

[@danielscotland1971]

Incredibly, despite this song is considered by many (me too) a classic, in 1982 did not achieve a great success.

[@gregkoepke1439]

Perfectly said.

This is what happens when you produce great music, it becomes timeless. masterful, todays “musicians” could learn a lot from this

I appreciate the OG's in the comments, my dad bought this in 82 on vinyl, I was 3 years old. My dad and this song is legit why I am a Dj today.

Summer of '82 between high school and college moving out on my own for the first time this was the Anthem of my newfound freedom😂

[@jtrice6852]

Patrice is a genuine musical prodigy who inspired Prince, and Freddie Washington's bass playing on her records was magical. There's also Gerald Albright on sax. He and Freddy would later play on Anita Baker's albums.

I didn't know about the Prince connection....AWESOME TRIVIA

[@adrianestwick8110]

Princes's song I wanna be your Lover was about Patrice

[@Martin9476]

Yep, I was a child of the 80’s. And everyone knows that was a great time to be a kid. Plus this song was sampled in 1996 by George Michael’s “Fastlove” and the following year by Will Smith’s “Men In Black”, both of which topped the UK charts. What an absolute masterpiece.

[@DrDirtyLeggz]

So i didn't grow up with this but rather "Men in Black" but HOW AMAZING IS IT that they have this entire song considering what the neuralyzers do in that movie! Love both renditions.

[@corallawyer6767]

I was in Tegucigalpa in 1997, when appears the Men In Black Movie the first, and Will Smith made a cover of this song. At this moment I Thougt that was a new song, wrongfully. Many years after I discovered this original song with the magic of internet. Thanks Strut Records for Up Loading! Who´s watching this masterpiece in 2021?
