The song was a tribute to her uncle, who died of AIDS in 1984. He was there with me through everything, she said. He was very close to me and encouraged me. Here I m a little girl from Harlem trying to make a living and trying to do what I always wanted to do. He never allowed me to not follow my dream. He told me, you have it; you have to go out there.
-----------------
Safire
Born Wilma Cosme in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Safire moved to East Harlem with her family as a child and spend her childhood years singing in school and church. By age 16 she was on her way to realizing that goal by paying for vocal lessons with an after-school job.
Safire's recording career began with a successful audition for an independent label, Cutting Records, which was seeking a young girl to sing a 12 inch single they planned to release. "Don't Break My Heart" was released by Cutting Records in 1986 and Safire was soon on the leading edge of the emerging dance music dubbed "Latin Hip Hop". Safire's second single, "Let Me Be The One", set her apart from her peers in another respect: she co-wrote the song. The single was released in 1987 and won immediate support in clubs around New York, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Texas, making Safire a national artist in the dance music.
With two successful singles under their belts, Safire and Cutting Records signed with Mercury/Polygram Records for the release of her debut LP in July of 1988. The first single, "Boy I've Been Told", written by music superstar Marc Anthony, was released as a 12 inch, and proved to be a raging success at all dance oriented stations, hitting #1 in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Miami. It also reached #3 on Billboards 12 inch sales chart and remains one of the strongest re-currents at radio stations across the country. With the support of Polygram, Safire confirmed her position as a legitimate national artist with strong star power. Her live performances were consistently sold out and her name became synonymous with Latin Hip Hop and Freestyle music.
The next single, "Thinking of You", brought about more dramatic changes in the development of her career as the Safire-penned ballad crossed over into the pop market. The single went top 10 on almost every chart and truly brought her into the worldwide limelight. The song was a very personal song written in memory of one of her strongest supporters, her uncle, Mario Santiago, who passed away from AIDS in 1986. "Thinking of You" recalled the emotions that ran through her mind as she made the initial steps without his support.
1989 saw Safire's achievements recognized as she won the New York Music Awards for Best R&B Debut Artist. Her success continued in 1990, when she received New York Music Awards for Best R&B single for "Thinking of You", and for Best Latin Female Vocalist and an ASCAP Award for "Thinking of You", as it was cited as one of the year's most played titles on the radio. In 1996 she explored a new path as she rekindled her ties to traditional Latin music in the form of Salsa and effortless blended it with the infectious sounds of Hip Hop, the end result being a groundbreaking album. "Atrevida" boasted many of the worlds' most talented musicians in the realm of Salsa.
Safire is back! After a recording break of almost six years, she is ready to rock the stages. "Don't Break My Heart", is the first single from her forthcoming Album, "BRINGING BACK THE GROOVE". How can we forget that hooky radio smash that put her on the map! Now with the incredible production and remixes by Tony Moran and Kenny Diaz, the Queen of Dance brings to her fans a reconstructed version of her smashing hit.

For years I tried to remember this song, but could only remember bits and pieces, never who sang it. Love it...only thing ,,, did we not have tweezers in the 80's, such a pretty girl but looks like two caterpillars crawled onto her face.

This song means so much to me also. At the time this was my first wife's favorite song. So many times I remember her singing in the shower to this song, and dancing with her. Shortly after it came out she perished. On July 19th 1989 she became one of the 111 people to die on United Flight 232. She brought out the best in me, and I will never let go of that. So I remember, and honor her when I play this song.

I know Karen is still out there at that Airport in Sioux city iowa waiting for it to be my time to pass on. And as long as I'm alive I will honour her by playing her favourite song.

My ex girlfriend dedicated this song to me when I was still active service in the Marine Corps, right before the Marines shipped my unit out for the Gulf War. Right before I came back stateside when the War ended I found out she started dating someone else, oh well it is what it is. Still love this song though because it got me through so many lonely moments during the war thinking me and my girlfriend would be back together but that wasn't to be, in the end I became a stronger and better man and I have this song to thank for into making me a stronger person.

God I forgot about this song. Safire really has a great voice and this song reminds me of all the loved ones I have lost. It sure does bring a tear or two to your eyes. Wish the music was still like this. Wish Safire was still cranking out the hits. All the old school acts were off the chain. Sending out a RIP to Ms. Teena Marie we lost another great talented singer!!!!

And it's a good song and then helps it helps get people through the tough times and the bad times you know I think it's a fitting tribute to her uncle you know it's a good trip you and I think that's something that she sat down with the record producers and she had a chat say I want to write a song that touches everybody's heart so you know and it definitely touch my heart you know that she did that for her uncle you know her uncle razor you know what teacher got you know what I mean but we all need something like that to help us get through the good and the bad times you know cuz if we didn't have music like that we go insane I just want to say God bless you and your uncle loves you and he's looking down at her and saying I love you you guys have a good and safe Christmas

Sunday morning, September 15, 1991... the day they called to tell me my uncle had died suddenly at age 40. My mind couldn't even comprehend it at first. Now it's been 29 years, I'm 5 years older than he was when he died and I'm still here listening to this song on the anniversary of his death. He was my uncle and my Godfather, and I was his Spaceship Lollipop. I love you, Mouse.
