Takes me back to Summer of 1986 in NYC !!! This jam was the sh+++t. I remember buying the vinyl at Crazy Eddie on Fordham Rd in the Bx

[@Haterzarefans]

Yes...crazy Eddie went out of business! Bit sold everything! Tapes,tv's,stereos.....

I got my copy at Rock and Soul down on 35th st and 7th ave.

[@generalinformation3507]

Damn Nelson you took me back. I grew up a few blocks from Fordham road, I got my 1st boom Box from crazy Eddie. Now in 2022 the only stores that are still there on Fordham from that time is the McDonald's, and V I M. Better get your kiss card🤣

This song brings back such good memories of the 80s. It reminds me of an ex-boyfriend of mine and dancing to this at every house party, block party, and beach party. He dedicated this song to me. (When guys actually did back then.)

[@DivaHooper]

Yes, classic original, sorry Mariah. My church had a committee, bck around 2005 or 2006. We put on a show called," The Oldies but Goodies", where we dresses up and sang songs from Temptations, Supreme's, Smokey Robinson,etc. Packed House every year and people paid to get in. All that to say, F. Davis was part of the committee. Who do you thinknhe asked to come and sing at 1 of our shows? His Sister Rainy Davis. No dubbing. She sounded just like her record. Naturally the crowd went while and I could barely talk the next day. Lol. Just sharing a story. Even now 2024 I remember one of the best shows we had. Spodify needs to put this son on their list. God bless.
