This was one of those songs where the voice and instruments seem to be ONE...'Otherworldly' in its smooth flow and sensuality...ooooh that's the time ....
It's sad to say that some people can only do remakes and never wanting to produce or perform their own thing unlike the music of the 60's and 70's. What they do is just make new versions of the originals. Have anyone ever given it a thought that the kind of music people produce in the recent years are not 100% original and there are a lot of them that can be forgotten after a year's time?
We need more songs like this that talk about love and wanting a long-lasting relationship that's fulfilling and full of kindness, friendship and understanding. We just don't have songs like this anymore.
If this were to get on the radio today, first you'd have to add a drum machine and some sythisizers, auto-tune the vocals and put Pitbull or some other hip hopper to rap over it in order to "save" the record. Because everyone knows hardly any singer can do anything by themselves anymore without a "hype man" or rapper doing shout-outs and name dropping the record producers names all over the record.
This sond is so pure and simple in its message. I often think about my lover and all the things that he makes me feel. There is some distance between us but when we get together, this song reverberates in my head. He is so sexy and intelligent that it merely enhances our relationship and lovemaking. He has the ability to turn my really bad days around to something positive. I love his mind, insight and touch. Missing you luv so very much!!!

That voice just puts me in the mood to love on a woman! Great mood setter. Simple lyrics, no vulgarity, or pounding beat. Pure , unadulterated music for makin sweet love...
This is a great song to be listening to in the summer sun if you're loved up, not so great if you're sitting under a tree all alone welling up behind your sun glasses!x
A take you away kind of song - takes me away to a better place.
