  • This song sounded good back in the day and still sounds good. Truly a good post. thanks spirytus36. Back in Chicago when they would play this song, they would play "the answer" to it. Don't know the name of the guy. It had the same background music...just had a guy on vocals. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and has it, that would be a good one to post.

  • Certainly a hit anyday

  • She sounds like Shirley Murdock.

  • Some songs will NEVER be old. This song will always be a big HIT...No matter how old it is!

  • The Bass player puts his foot and everything else into this truly awesome Funk classic. Pure STANK just drips off this tune. A splendid example of inspired pocket playing. And last but not least, Jocelyn absolutely crushes crushes it.

  • One om all time favs. "Then I found out..." I can't let go.

  • This song is like church...you can feel the soul in JB's voice. funky guitar riff too at 2:38

  • love it love it

  • Incredibly extraordinary. AWesome. Kind of the best Vocal electro funky tracks.

  • the guitar makes the whole chorus sit loose, anyone know who played on this record?

  • Yes, jcstorr -

    if you find any old house heads to hang with, you would truly get an education and know the music, its historical context, and the embedded meaning articulated in the lyrics. In those days, the music was all about uplift and hope to a marginalized community of queer black folks. Im glad that you have an appreciation for the music. Unfortunately, House is all but a mostly forgotten music form in America - a rich art that is relegated to only a very small niche market. Peace

  • TAKE ROSSI OFF IGNORE!

  • Ms. Brown kicks ass on that intro....WOOF! Like I have said she has soul in her soul...AWESOME!

  • This is a beautiful ass song! I get into this song whenever it plays on the radio or anywhere, for that matter. I enjoy it from beginning to end. Thank God for Youtube where you can find all the Old School jams
