Hi ! It´s a pleasure to listen to this wonderful music. Patrice Rushen is one of a kind. I´ve been listening to this composition since 1985 and never get tired of it. She belongs to a talented group of musicians and many many others, like Lee Ritenour and Dave Grusin. God bless them and their music.

Patrice Rushen was miles ahead of most if not all female musicians in her time. Let it sink in for a minute, Hollywood really pushed Madonna and every other "sex symbol" Pop Star after her, over this beautiful multitalented lady. Disgraceful!!

[@AbdulAzeez-xc2wz]

She was ahead ALL. Madonna the nonsense of a virgin ain’t close to QUEEN MRS PATRICE

[@sweetesttaboo1473]

Almost every Madonna song sounded like a filler song and reject song. Madonna's ability to be the "it" girl is what made her otherwise sonically boring songs top the charts.Girls like Patrice weren't promoted as they should have.

One of my favorites of all time as a contemporary jazz funk piece done about 40 yrs. ago. I think the thumbs downers just don't have anything better to do than to irritate people with their vote ridiculous vote. Patrice, you rock baby!!!!
