It a nice song but the beat is the same as "Love makes a woman" by Barbara Ackland which I think came out in the mid seventies and was written by the lead singer of Chi-lites Eugene Record.
@winpoohbear This is a classic 60s beat. Alot of Motown and Brunswick artists recorded stuff that sounded like this. Barbara Acklin's song you mentioned came out in '68 (I think). Alot of Martha & The Vandellas stuff sounded like this, too. I love it!!!
I'm 50 years old...my daughter is 17. We've "disagreed" about music for several years now. She doesn't care for my classic rock, blues, & jazz tastes...that's okay, I was 17 once. I just can't dig the gangsta rap that her generation calls music. She likes Frank Sinatra (some of it) and Dean Martin...and I REALLY dig this song right here! Quakeulf...I must agree...more rappers need to listen to this!!
I absolutely love this. I was never a fan until this song and I am absolutely in love. 8 people don't have ears. I guess they want to hears wacka flacka flame or some bullshit like that. This is real music ya young wippa snappas...lol I'm only 28 but I know real music when I hear it. Cudos Raphael.
I must say he has matured in so many ways, voice, arrangements, writing, producing... Since Tony! Toni! Toné!, he has grown into an iconic musician. Killer shit....
Man what a tight band backin him up.. I saw him perform this song on "The Tavis Smiley Show"....it was all they way live baby..no memorex..no computers.. It was tight and soulful..
I hope you're joking, because your comment hit's the drum like a dick. (yeah that's a Dutch saying) Raphael does his thing and rappers do their thing. I agree that some rappers suck ass, but have respect for the good ones please.
@Naaddogg87 Totally agree with you. In fact Saadiq collaborates with Jay Z on Oh Girl, so this is not some affront to Rap. It'sjust a bloody great song!
@Quakeulf This has nothing to do with Rap, different genres. You should be saying...Hear this song Bruno Mars...as what they do is comparable, they both sing. Rapping is Rapping, singing is singing, they are different. If this was a Rakim or The Roots video, then your statement would be correct...I'm looking at you Whiz Khalifa!
went out and got the album when i first heard it. the kind of music worth listening too for my age (58) instead of all the garbage that plays on the radio these days. Need to hear more like him.
Smooth, rich, grounded 7 seriously retro. Saadiq has produced several classic joints for various other artist & including himself....Saadiq, of legend in our times
this song makes me smile because it has such an old school vibe which just goes to show you that there is still good music around an ppl do appreciate old school music!
can we stop referring to "nowadays" please? it's universally understood that most current music blows...but we are all still very proud that you noticed
this is brilliant sweet motown music i grew up listening to motown through my ma and pa and this is up there with all the classics its a classic in itself
THE HAIR OF MY SKIN EVEN DANCES, THE SENSUALITY OF u VOICE SAYS IT ALL : text IS TOTALLY TENDER AND CONFIRMS THE ARTISTS CAPACITY FOR FEELINGS.Thank U SOO MUCH
I heard him play live on the Steve Harvey morning show, and was tapping my foot to beat as I was driving along Interstate 95...I immediately found the nearest Best Buy and bought the CD...It's a CLASSIC...LOVE YA RAPHAEL
When I first heard this song, given that I listen to my fair share of 60s oldies music, I wondered where this gem had been hidden all these decades. I never heard of Raphael Saadiq before, so I was surprised that this was a contemporary work. What a great song, sexy without being seamy. We need more of this.
