[keshia178]

bring back many memories growing up..

[SWIFSTASHPRESENTS]

SORRY ANGELA WINBUSH

STEPHANIE MILLS LITERALLY SANG THE STANK OFF OF THIS SONG AND THEN PUT IT BACK IN

[MsHaleywood]

Angela wrote that song for Stephanie Mills - they were close friends. She can sing it well as well, I'm a huge fan, but the song was written for Stephanie Mills' voice. She just happened to put it on her 'Real Thing' LP several years later. Frankly, they don't churn them out like either one of their voices anymore. . .unfortunately. And we are left with the likes of Rihanna.

[SWIFSTASHPRESENTS]

@MsHaleywood THATS RIGHT BUT I LIKE RIHANNA

WE COULD STILL GET GOOD MUSIC LIKE THIS NOWADAYS.

IT JUST NEEDS TO STOP BEING ABOUT THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE AND MORE ABOUT THE PASSION AND VOCAL SKILLS. BUT CALL ME OPTIMISTIC

[ebonymcknny23]

@MsHaleywood I love both of their voices and I love how both of them sanged and instead of them talking about eachother negatively they helped eachother come up meaning they made song for each other

[carvaye513]

i love her ....i love her

[buttacudawey]

LOVE IS GREAT__________IF ANYONE SAYS OTHERWISE, THEY DONT HAVE LOVE AND THEY DONT KNOW LOVE.......STR888888T...

[cmella626]

[cmella626]

I Love Miss Mills she is amazing we need more of her in my generation because 90 of the things out don't do it for me and I'm 20

[DaddySweet100]

I've learned to respect the power of love. This is a powerful statement. It's too bad that so many people "haven't" learned to respect the power of love. I'm glad that I have had the experience of loving and being loved at the same time. When love is flowin "to and from" at the same time it's a precious gift and a beautiful thang. Just remember when love come naturally, that's when it's at it's best. Remember the song: I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt.

[gwendolyn364]

@DaddySweet100 Your statement is so true. 

[gwendolyn364]

@DaddySweet100 your statement is so true. So many people really don't know how to repect the power of love.

[djmedouble]

Wow! Can you say nostalgia!!! This brings back memories of buses and band trips from high school! Ms. Mills is a true and wonderful talent and definitely one of a kind. Much Respect!

[321Ladiva]

One of my favorite songs & grew up on dis music

[sandyhookrd21133]

The power of love, the power to love,an the power to love.

[shervene]

[rudeboysly2]

[lc146391]

@rudeboysly2 Not by people that know what 'sangin' is nigga. I have the utmost respect, cuz.

[tredelta05]

@rudeboysly2 Stehanie was NEVER underated she ran things until she became saved and removed herself from the scene. Nobody made any money while Stephanie was out there!

[ExtacyDiamond]

POWER VOCALS

[britt2867]

[fastone56]

It's often said that you don't miss things until you don't have them. This is the first time I've heard this song in a long time and a flood of memories of someone who is no longer with us jsut came back like a ton of bricks, this was our song. RIP babygirl

[fullergirl1]

IKR

[daroof4ever]

unsung

[loosestudios]

Mills claims that she was romantically involved with Michael Jackson for a short period of time while she was doing The Wiz.Mills married a third time to Charlotte, North Carolina radio program manager Michael Saunders in 1993 in a wedding ceremony performed by Minister Louis Farrakhan.[4] The couple divorced sometime later. Born March 22, 1957

[ronglo99]

Forever Beautiful

[ColoradoKing26]

Very nice song. My wife have her cd, and be playing it around the house.

[LoveMe4ME30]

Need This in my life Lord

[charliemartin4]

I fell in love over and over again to the same man by listening to this beautiful, expressive song. A voice that makes me keep on and on listening - - - married 48 years to this man.

jbm

[fiercejaguar]

@charliemartin4 You go, girl!!! Reminds me of my parents. They're with the Lord now, but when I listen to this song I become drenched with tears, because they were such a classic love story for four decades until death knocked at my father's door. In her hospital bed nine years later, my mother suddenly lit up, staring at the window in her room. She said my father was standing there, and he told her that he came to take her home. She died shortly afterward. Rest In Peace, Mama and Daddy.

[YvonneMinter]

@fiercejaguar TOUCHING...

[raybarnes1]

@fiercejaguar Jesus...........smh



[Yolireals1]

This is a powerful song right here. I remember growing up listenin to my mom sing this song when she was tired of my dad sh*t... I understand where she comin from now that I'm grown & in my own relationship!!!

[Faithful183]

"I was a victim of foolish thinkn"

[rdrake460]

stephanie stomped all over this track. that voice is definetely something to reckon with. Singing this song like she wrote and believes in the lyrics. well interpreted classic i dont thing any other female artist wants to touch or approach this track after listening to it. the range is ridiculous.

[gatorfan96a]

There again; there aint much you can say about the majestic ones. This woman is majestic. Please respect this shit. I am a man saying this. For women, There ought to be a U of STEPHANIE MILLS. A course that women can take on how to become a whole women.

[cwilma1]

[52fakeoutt]

[TheAithWONDER]

If you didnt respect the power of love, I bet you do now.

[buttacudawey]

THE SOUND OF A SOUL......POWER....,

[codyscott1973]

I was @ the comfort inn this last Saturday night with a girl ill call a friend with benefits, and this son came on the radio why we were making love and i can tell you th@s the first time i have ever been so emotional during sex that i almost cried.

[MookieBabie88]

I LUV THIS SONG

[jeromemilton]

This became my song when my dog was hit by car, I called the pond to see if they pick him up or not they told me a dog matching that description was killed on my corner that nite at that instant I realized I learned to respect the power of love, my sister when I told her this played it all the time and 5 years later she died of crack related death,I played it all the time for months it my favorite LOVE song that power of love!!!

[MsMadame]

@jeromemilton

Wow! Sorry, for your pain.

[jeromemilton]

@MsMadame Thanks for your comment just finished watching the movie"Shawshank Redemption" the star of the movie(Andy Dufresne) said it best when shit happens to us"We can begin to start living or begin to start dying" I decided to start livin!!

[nbtrifa]

da good dayz are gone , now itz all fake, all about materialistic things now, no more heart, in music, only few.... -sol-

[mortinsprocessor]

sho missed this guhl here in R&B, maybe the lawd wanted her in gospel more.

[trw1501]

2 people never learned to respect the power of love! Lol!

[EGR610]

NO Chrisette Michelle can absolutely not!!! No one but Stephanie Mills

[jlemaire22]

The only woman that could pull this off now is Chrisette Michelle

[THELASTILLWILL]

@jlemaire22 Stephanie Mills has a very powerful and special voice, Chrisette Michelle has a falsetto style no way she could pull this off. Maby Mary Blige thats about it.

[dimondgurlable]

@jlemaire22 she would do a good remake...I agree :)

[jlemaire22]

This is when R&B used to let a man know a woman loves him.

[ALuvLikeNoOther]

This song is so damn powerful... Brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it!

[gameshowluvr86]

From about 4:31-6:21, Stephanie took us to CHURCH!

[jimmie120895]

NOW SHE IS WHAT YOU CALL A BAD ASS WOMAN

[DaxShaw]

I love her version and Angela's equally. I miss real singers who could put it down live just as good as on record and sang from their soul's. Phyllis Hyman, Melba Moore, Angela Winbush and Stephanie Mills- all underappreciated divas.

[dejay1507]

@DaxShaw Miki Howard, Me'lissa Morgan, Regina Belle, PATTI.......I had to add those to your list.....We on the same page.....I KNOW U KNOW....U got me taking it back........BIGUPS!!!!!

[DaxShaw]

@dejay1507 Preach on! I love those ladies.

[Mineretta2012]

I miss the disco days. Stephanie Mills man could she belt it out. She was great to dance too.

[9AMLUV]

my 2nd favorite sing of all time

[mariewilder]

Stephanie Mills signature song. Not many can duplicate the emotion and power of this song. Just like Whitney has "I Will Always Love You"...this is Stephanie Mills signature song. Sometimes the feeling and meaning is so deep only one can bring it to the full. Ms. Stephanie Mills.......AMAZING VOCALS on this song.

[apefanni]

I wish people would listen to this song every day and seriously take the message in concideration. A powerful song by a powerful voice.

[mariewilder]

@apefanni:  True.

[ferbieboi]

IM ONLY 21 AND I LOOOVE THIS SONG THANK YOU MOM FOR EXPOSING ME TO A TRUE VOCALIST <3 I LOVE STEPHANIE MILLS

[apefanni]

@ferbieboi Yes, thank you mom for exposing the real love songs to your child. Not many 21 yr olds can grasp the concept of this song. Welcome to the love generation:)

[noboysallowedhere]

OMG i just love her!!! :)

[Southerngirl675]

beautiful!

[Lastofemleft]

I luv all of her music, but she almost wrote my autobiography w/ this song!

[OQUENDO1]

As Many of You may know, Angela Winbush wrote this song and did a 'Slammin' Version of this cut on her album,' The Real Thing'. Still doesn't take anything a away from Stephanie. Love Them Both.
