thank u god, for my husband and i growing up in the 70's and 80 era. you have made us appreciate real good music, and can go ol skool whenever we want. thank- u for who ever is putting this wonderful music on you tube. everyone listening has to appreciate .
if you were truly blessed to be growing up in the 80 ds 90 ds and so on you can truly understand how powerful miss stephanie mills words were in this song.i am 38 so 2 be 39 and there is no better place to be than home,and home is truely back in the 80 ds and early 90ds for me.
This is to you and all other 18+ year olds, don't wish bad things just recognize good music. As you can see and hear good outlasts bad. These rappers are are a long-term fad, but they will fade away.
Who would of know that Angela...from the group Renee&Angela was the original singer&writer to this song...Havent heard the original version...but..I learned to respect...the power of love...lol!
i miss it when female artist had so much class about themselves and their music... it wasn't about being half dress crawling across a stage or in a video...thnx u stephanie mills, angela winbush, denise williams, teena marie and so many other during that era who showed us how young ladies are suppose to act with class....NOW THAT'S THE SWAG I GREW UP WITH.....
Long live authentic R&B. There are STILL artists out there who are making it, they just need our support. Kudos to new old school R&B artists like Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings.
i thank god i lived in the time when this type of music came out and the music now is trash i dont even watch bet anymore or music videos of this time im 39 years old nowand i lived to see good music
S. Mills is AWESOME!! She was out when I was young so I didn't appreciate her as much as I do now that I'm listening with a mature ear. Her voice is powerful, great range...the lyrics are beautiful. What has happened to music now. Classic, untouchable DIVA!
I absolutely love this song..... It has sooooo much meaning. If people today learn to respect the power of love there definitely less confusions in our relationships of today. Stephanie Mills is truly diva of her era.
@DAHAVEN863, I almost understood something you said. I'm gonna guess that you are a) a senator, b) a high school teacher or c) a kid. My vote is for "c". In the future, if you feel the need to say something, SHUT THE FUCK UP! You're mother shouldn't have let you near a computer. By the way, do you know how I figured out you were 14? Punctuation, kid.
These song reminds me when i was still young and strong as an ox. I really liked this song with all my heart and i am still liking it, how i wish some of our modern artists can lean from her.Keep it up Stephanie. Like most of us let us respect the power of love.

I fully agree with those who have pointed out how Stephanie deserves to be recognized as one of the great "divas" of R&B. Ironically, this song was written by another greatly underrated queen, Angela Winbush. She also tore up this song.
This is the most ultimate love ballad Stephanie has made. I've learn to respect the power of love, too powerful! and so true to the words. Thank you Stephanie for giving us so many memories and good music throughout the years
@Jaie25: I totally agree with you, her voice is crazy. I remember always walking around the house singing her songs because she is the bomb and the range helped strengthen my voice. Thx Steph lol ;)
She is a very talented lady. In my opinion she had one of the best voices in the industry. She's beautiful and will always be one of my favorite artists.
i think new r n b is ok but nothing can over powers the presence of the great old music from back in the day they showed the they had for thier mates and we as a people dont our mates just how much we love them . so go show them ya'll lets love one another and stop all this craziness much love ya'll

deathghost you got it right, baby. Back in the day, music was better, and the artists were much more talented. Stephanie Mills, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Anita Baker, these women had talent, natural talent. Not something manufactured in a studio. I'm blessed at age 53 to have experienced the music back when it shaped your very being. I feel bad for the young folks today who have no idea of what REAL MUSIC is.....
Love her voice on this song....Boy did I learn, there is nothing like the power of respecting LOVE! I've learned tha loving me first caused me to learn how to love others. This was/is a favorite song to show love to that special one ;-)...Thanks Ms. Mills.
I'm 18 yrs old and I would like 2 personally say I Hate modern R&B of today it sickens e personaly lil wayne i hate him i wish he get shot 4 makin an R&B track. I love classic R&B Dude Fuck the new shit of today. Stephanie mills is my favorite lady singer be sides Whitney Houston,Janet jackson,etc... Classic R&B is in fact better than this new wannabe R&B its not R&B no more it's bull
@666deathghost ...nice keep it up you headed in the right direction with music...Question......What is with your username 666deathghost a bit scary ...How about I'm a angel and leader just a few suggestions........Have fun be safe...
@666deathghost You're old enough to know how to give a compliment w/o using foul language. You compromise the beauty of this song.....You are showing your ignorance and and syupidity. I wonder what your face looks like????
@irmarobinson1 LOL!!!! I wounder what your face look like since you don't want to post ur face on the thumb note of your profile lol. Listen if you don't like someones comment don't read it simple mama
yep me too & when i heard it for the first time i was n tears yes at 10 or 11 lol i just celebrated my 33rd ! but i love the heaven out this song !! & because i believe in THE POWER OF LOVE ... its on the way haaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
no... Toni Braxton is awesome. I love her too but Stephanie-Stephanie is different-she takes singing to a whole new level-that's all I meant. I didn't mean to ruffle feathers-sry : )
