Timeless late 1970s soul beat classic.

[@repairwizzard469]

One of the first songs I remember as a kid.. Still love it now

[@janettereinhart8198]

I listen to it every day. It was my favorite, next to Sugar. sugar by the Archivez

[@WhitemenaresoSexy]

Me too

[@tednorton5150]

the harmony on the "why do you think" part is very tricky. if you try to sing it you realize it's not what's in your head. once you realize this you have to re-contemplate what the emotion of it is. it's downright genius. from the moment i first heard it in the unlikely setting of rural Wisconsin it has stuck with me as epitome of smooth urban soul. when Clive Davis signed Ray to Arista he KNEW something on instinct that not even Ray's biggest admirer's had in mind. He was exactly right . Also the male highlight vocalist in this group had some serious scare your ass off SKILLS. I should know his name and will fix that immediately but anyone who can sing like that should have been a solo star .

[@MsPartner1]

This song always cheers me up. Ray's smile melts me. The other singers bring their game. 50s w/arthritis and all kinds a physical problems, Do Not try to stop me from dancing to this song.. lol Lifts me up immediately. Have to play it at least 5 times. One of my favorite bands❤️❤️

[@MisterRichHarris]

Do yourself a favor and find an online looping site, then just plug in this youtube link, and you can listen to this for HOURS with it automatically repeats.... I DO, it's just one of the most beautiful of so many beautiful songs that I grew up with during the 70's... ❤

Good memories!! Ray Parker Jr. was such a cutie back in the day. I had the biggest crush on him in my late teens and early 20's. He had a million dollar smile that melted my heart back then. 😊

I wish they had oldies night. And played all the music from the late 70s and 80s. They used to years ago on his station and now they don't do it as often but none of these songs which they should I miss that error so much I guess we just have KZbin there's so many groups from back then and so many songs. I keep finding more and more on KZbin. I feel so sad this world has gotten so cold. People have changed everything's about money. Now we dealing with this virus, and everything else I pray that we get better. God bless everybody peace out🙏💃👍😷🙌

1978 was a great year. Music was so real..

[@1111nolanc]

This is one of the most addictive songs ever. Sometimes I will listen to this 6 or 7 times in a row before I stop, and I am just as likely to listen to Rage Against the Machine. Super smooth, and almost perfect!

[@justinesportsmedicine]

The new generation couldn't make this type of music even if we gave em a cheat sheet.

[@charlesm7589]

Why would the new generation want to make old, out of date music? They have their own thing. You and I are of the older set and this is the music of our youth and we love it. Our parents were thinking why couldn't our generation sound like Sammy Davis and Count Basie! To each his own time.

[@robertgoines2855]

Right + off a nursery rhymes at that. But the great 1s can do that. JayZ with the Annie song + 112 with the Cupid song. Just my opinion but I agree with you

[@renardatkins4488]

Sure, it's a "great" song! Numbers don't lie; and can you think of another artist (or group) that considered making (a standard, 'pop' tune, not just "R&B",) out of an old nursery rhyme? That too is how 'genius' works, "poindexter"!!!

[@renardatkins4488]

This is in 'reply' to "David Crissman": THAT'S NOT TRUE AT ALL! The closet that white nordics ever got to Afric-American music was was when (by the 1910s,A.D.,) they very suddenly stopped slandering blacks about their so-called "Jungle Music" and 'attempted' to "mimic" "Rag-Time", and "Jazz" (because neither England, nor America had any musical aesthetic culture [ Correction: England deliberately, and brutally destroyed its own 'dainty' classical culture of poetry, and composition]! America only had Robert Foster's "Camp-Town..." crap! Rag-Time, Blues, and Jazz revolutionized the world; it also was a easy way for otherwise impoverished whites to make a living, whereas they would had been on the rubble-heap with the "chattel"! The same can said about "Rock-'n'-Roll", which was also invented solely by American Blacks, and later "confiscated" by white record moguls (and organized crime elements in the record industry, in the late 1940s, to early '50s)! Witness how "labeling" of Blacks music by corps. are are exclusively pigeon-holed as "Soul\R&B", and, otherwise-begrudgingly-"Pop", when a record 'hits-the-'numbers'-out-the-ballpark)! Even the "liberal" Brits are guilty of this blatant racism (just reference "The Beatles"'s first U.S. media interviews-especially McCartney, and Lennon's"-insistence that they were inspired, studied, performed like, and 'sweated" by the music of Afric-Americans, even though some of the reporters tried to make them 'walk-back' and 'relent' their convictions on this "weighty" matter, at the time! it wasn't just the "clothes", or the "hair" (they just hated using Bryl-Cream or whatever that 'gunk' was holding up white-boys' "D.A."s[?]". Among their first 'cover' songs were the "The Isley Brothers"' "Shout", and "Twist and Shout"! Always "trust" a "White Supremacist"...they hate "culture"!!!
