[AQJONES2798]

Alot of babies were made to this!

[AQJONES2798]

Hands down, the best damn song ever! To this day, it's still one of the most requested songs from "QUIET STORM" out of Washington, DC! WHUR 96.3 baby!

[bigleroy2061]

This a Bad Song!! Enough said!!!

[roxann38]

The original bass player was Cedric Martin and he shared lead vocals on the original recording of this song.........they need to bring him back!

[newsiemen4u]

[Tamarje81]

IS THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS?? THEY A HELLA GOOD JOB!!!

[solesirching73]

@Tamarje81 The original members still in this band are Michael Cooper (guitar, vocals) and Felton "Clyde" Pilate (vocals, trombone, keyboards, guitar). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think trumpet player Karl Fuller is also in the group as well

[themightycelestial]

Boy, when I listened to how all the jams of today, especially the slow ones, sound all EXACTLY alike,

then I listened to this,

I realize that I grew up during a great time in R&B music.
