How does this have only 9,000 views? Classic!

[@SDLBrightLiGhT]

Mass consumption doesn’t equal validation partner.

[@MindTrickedX24]

Al and the backup singers did their things!

[@markwinters3079]

This live version is great, and the studio version is even better. This is probably the most perfect song ever recorded.

[@wralford]

I remember being mesmerized by Dennis Parker's bass line when this iconic song came out and still am enraptured by it!

[@reddyred01]

That bass is masterful

[@HanifBarnwell]

This arrangement made me realize it’s a calypso song.

Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful man. This is why Gen X had such high expectations when they grew up.

[@wildwoodandonyx]

This came out while I was in grade school and I was learning what “show & not tell” truly means… We were fast learners…

I’ve loved this song ever since it came out. Thank you ❤️
