With Whitney Houston's death I was thinking about how she and Sade had the same experience with radio stations. The "pop" stations played their schmaltzy stuff, while the R&B stations played their really good stripped down songs. ("Turn My Back on You" was another example.)
this song popped in my head today had to look it up nice of sade to immortalize her friend in such a beautiful song. Sade is a legend in her time. what a classy sexy woman and that voice...
WOOOOOW!!!!!! I see this song is powerful to alot of ppl...myself also...I lost my good friend Lisa Renee Benton in 91...we would go out to the nco club or any club and dance our asses off....I got a tattoo on my arm for her and still miss her to this day....wish she could meet my Kids and my new friends for real...@sslivins1 and to all who adore this song for someone they lost...I definitely feel ur pain...
THIS SONG IS A DEDICATION TO REAL FRIENDS ...ALL OVER THE WORLD...IF YOU TREASURE YOUR BESTIE TELL THEM MY FRIEND IS MAUREEN AND I MISS HER................
RIP MAUREEN LYNN STRYKEN. We were best friends, called each other cousin, and boy I wish you could see Jennifer and Cassie and all of us now. Cassie's little girl is so cute, we wish you could have met her. You outshone everyone when you hit the stage dancing and I think about you every day homie, we kicked it daily from 88-2002 when the her-on got to your soul. I still cry all the time...
I lost my "best friend" Maureen 4 months ago. She was beautiful and classy. a souped up car in a go kart town. We were thick as theives. I can't beleive I'm never going to see her again. We were friends for 47 years. I miss her. This is my song.
