Oh the joys of being a child and teen during the 1980’s! Riding my bike safely through the neighbourhood, countless kids to play with, everyday seemed sunny, days lazing about at the local pool with 2-stick popsicles which you could buy for 25 cents and listing to tunes like this one on the pool speakers. How come no one makes music like this anymore? Such simpler times.

This is a solid message: "A Woman Needs Love Just Like You Do.". The 80's was a crucial decade for music.

[@YinSar]

Absolutely.... The '80 was about the best decade for contemporary music.... featuring STARS like Michael Jackson, Diana Ross (Muscle), Lionel Richie (All Night Long), The Whispers, Yarborough and People's, Donna Summer, Chaka Khan, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Shannon (Let the Music Play), Lisa Lisa, Colonel Abraham, The Cameo, Rick James, Prince, Deniece Willams (Let's Hear It For the Boy), Ray Parker Jnr, Shalamar (Howard Hewett, Jody Wately, Jeffrey Daniels).... etc. It was a great decade!

By the by, did you know the duo worked with Jeff Lorber in his Step by Step album? Granted, you were more focused on Murphy's vocals; but you still can't _not_ hear their presence.

I'am 47-years-old and this song was released when I was a 13-year-old kid. This is the FIRST time that I have ever saw this music video. Great song and recording artist.

[@Ingostar71]

I agree 100%. And exactly the same case with me. I am 47 too and like his Music. At this time it was hart to find that Music in Shops here and impossible to find that Videos..

Well it came out in 1979 exactly 40 years ago so you two were 7 years old ...just saying lol !

I went to school with his sister, niece, or cousin(can't remember) back at Northwestern in Detroit and met him when he picked her up some times. He was cool. Those were the days, when you played two/four square in the street, and faygo pop cost .75 cents and you had to have Bettermade chips. Those were the days wh0en you sat on your neighbors porch and chilled out. No kid got shot for going to the wrong house to pick up their siblings. You rode your bike, til it was time to watch the Crosy show as a family. 😊

"...by the time Jack returned up the hill, somebody else had been loovin Jill.."

[@shaunastokes1906]

I think that reference goes back to his song "Jack and Jill" with his group Raydio.

[@russellregan4736]

I was the 1 loving Jill I'm sneaky

15 años de edad tenía yo cuando salió esta canción. Que dicha tener la oportunidad de seguir escuchándola entre otras también de esos tiempos 👌🏼
