yea !!! they dont make them the way use 2 THATS 4 SURE !! and you know what , its a SHAME !!. CLASSIC...im 45 , i grew up in the 70s and 80s , from top 40 , to rock, dance and of course r/b ..u couldnt touch any of that stuff i just mentioned...todays kids HAVE NO CLUE!! and you know what..they never will
This use to be my jam when I was a kid I was 6 years old singing this like I knew what he was talking about lol my mom use to be dropping me off at school and we both use to singing this in car sighssss memories im glad im an 80's baby 1980 to be exact
@27andkickinit I am not an 80s baby, but an 80s kid, I was in fourth grade when this song came out, I remember driving my teacher crazy with this song, it would be quiet and I be writing and in a mode and I would start singing the bridge, and then: Excuse me young man, silence please. LOL, I wouldn't trade being an 80s kid for nothing.
Of all 10.000 songs I have listened to in my life, this is still the one and only #1 and it has been since the first day I heard it. No one can sing like Howard.
Perfect. Form the composition itself to the beautifully backing vocals arrangements to the superb singing by HH, just perfect. And there was no Protools then. What you hear is the real thing. I think Stanley Clarke produced this track.
as a kid i use to have this song on an old cassette and i used to play this song everyday i didnt know who sang i just loved it, recently i found out out who did and that just explains why this song is so amazing. thumbs up to howard
I have many tapes that I have compiled over the years and this is one of many good tunes of the classic 80's era. I have several of his songs and am currently transferring from tape to to cd. His music is class and so is jodie Watleys!! Check out her stuff too! Ex Shalamar same as howard and both talented!

His music is class and so is jodie Watleys!! Check out her stuff too! Ex Shalamar same as howard and both talented!
So remember this classic and I have to say I catch myself from time to time singing it out in my house just for no reason; ok maybe remembering how life was so pleasant when times were easier - lol
im from the 80s and this song is the song you wanted to play for ur lady and she would cuddle up to u nice! i love this song and i commit to love check it out!
"They say in life you take a chance, and in love there's no garauntee but the simple satisfaction comes from sharing our lives and tearing down the walls of mystery' truer words were never sung...Thanks HH
Had the ULTIMATE pleasure in meeting one of the world's best balladeer performers in person in Florence, SC. LADIES!!! can I tell you OMG he is a sight to behold & hear LIVE!!! I love you Howard forever.
I Love You Howard!!!Remember Akron, Ohio and all of your fans and relatives! You have made us Proud !!!! Do Not forget your Farmington Hills Connection. We All Love You!!
Ohh, but this is no illusion, I never wanna lose ya, say you'll be with me for the rest of my life...Pretend no more darlin', that's all over!!!!!.Sounds as good as the first time I heard it! I've got to get this, a true flashback for me.
moorefun21 you are absolutely right never will songs come so clear and so decisive
now in 2010 and beyond we have to hear the sh_t that this song makes clear from having a wonderful relationship with someone whom you love and not share her or him and that's why this song and many more live on........Thks for your contribution
this take me back when we use to take the D train to coney island at night on the music express ride but that was the days when the girls was wear the hoop ear rings three tone hair wth the 22k fronts lol..lol
Howard Hewitt joined Shalamar right after they came out with "Take that to the bank". I saw it on "Unsung" on TV One. I forget who was the lead singer before HH. Too bad there will never be a Shalamar reunion because Jody Watley holds such a deep grudge!
Timeless song ...love it I have not heard this sing since he was on the Monique show recently .And I could not get it out of my head .Had to find it ..
this man is my main boo, i love him and his music brings out all the love thats inside u
