[alexanderdiaz1]

This is the jam!!! There is a remake by Kenny Thomas a UK Artist from the late eighties and early ninties, who remade this song and he did a dam good job. Unfortuantely, the only version I can find on youtube are remixes of Kenny Thomas' original remake rendtion; they aren't as good as the original by The Controllers or Kenny Thomas' original remake version.

[heyroz27]

@alexanderdiaz1 Oh that was Kenny Thomas? Wow I learn something new everyday. Thanks!

This song came out in 1986. That was an awesome year for me personally. I remember the smooth sounds of the Controllers playing over the airways at that time. Even at 17 I could appreciate their smooth style.

[drelefreek1979]

Great -Disco Ballad song from The Controllers.  I love the synths and and tight arrangements. It has a midtempo groove that keeps the feet tapping and fingers clicking. It was a Big tune in the UK Soul Clubs and also a classic song played at Weddings

[j85]

@deedee011000 An easier way to do it is to download a youtube to mp3 converter. That way you can convert any song you like on you tube into mp3.

[j85]

I always thought that the bassline of this song was superbad. Also I felt that if R&B execs. at labels weren't so resistant towards rap back then (Rap and R&B didn't really see eye to eye until the NJS era 1989-1992) this song would have been good for a rapper to rap over.

[BOUCHER09SHAWTY]

THAT TR-808 FUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QuaintTaint]

Luv it!

[crad805oldschool]

Thx 4 all the vid comments...keep it fooonky n' fresh!!

[VALlewellyn]

@crad805oldschool thank you is NOT enough for you putting this bloody brilliant tune up here! I have a tape full of excellent music that I cannot identify - can you help????

[rolybling]

this tune is massive for me, I've always loved it, I used to sit up in my bedroom listening to this back in the 80's lost in this great great music.

[GhettoKarter1992]

almost sound like Luther Vandross on one of them vocals

[troylayton1]

Big Chooon, Slap bass at its best

[katkiller36]

this came out in 86' right b4 r&b fell off. This was da nastiest funk jam of the 80's..If this was playin in a club, even people in wheelchairs would get up and dance.......

[TheOldmarlow]

ive been looking for this tune for ages,thanks crad ,credit is due

[QuaintTaint]

Smoooooooth!!

[OMGitsSHELLI]

what a tune. my dad was playing all of these kind of tunes when i was a yout lol till this day i prefer this kind of music over the new stuff that comes out today. Love my old skool

[alexanderdiaz1]

OMG I love this song...Has anyone heard the remake by this white guy from the UK, his name is Kenny Thomas...his version is very sexy and very soulful...the boy has got some soul...he remade it back in the late eighties early ninties...on "Classic" Thursdays, here in Las Vegas our RnB station 88.1 KCEP they play his version all the time...it's probably the best remake I've heard so far...check it out...if youtube hasn't removed it that is...lol

[bollowski]

[EBISECYBOTRON]

classic jam..never forget the best man.

[joescott27]

Thankyou so much for posting this!!! Back in the day this jam was the deal and today well like a fine wine its better with time...Peace and love people...xxx

[allroundpower]

Even Maxi Priest and Dennis Brown rated this tune. Shame neither covered it. All I have to say to my girl is "My Darling sweet Baby" and she says " You know you drive me crazy". Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis production. Smooth and sharp.

[mrpsgirl]

this is a banging song I used to listen to in the 80's in New Orleans...Me, April and Charles...Superdome motel...best spot in town to party..Lisa..Flipper..Scott...­Rick was the manager....Silky..Sweet..Cyran­o....love all of yall....would love to hear from anyone of you.....Then Stay with me....

[blkmoet27]

[ginogreat]

Lawd Lawd I can't believe it. This is my jam. It reminds me of high school

[dsmit096]

Tanks for posting this song; my sister and I loved this song. We would listen to one side of the cassett and flip it to the other side to listen to it without the music. This group was so talented, I really miss this type of music.

[crad805oldschool]

No need to miss it anymore...just check the tube and you're bound to find some good tunes! Thanks for the comment!

[FUNKYTUNEZ714]
