"I can't tell what I saw...made me wonder was it against the law! Wasn't how high you could go...but exactly how low"!!! Now thems is some "lyrics', yall!!!
thank you for posting!. we will all miss these two singing together, but we will still have the wonderful music they made together!. this is one of the most beautiful songs. the orchestra is on point!!. great dance music. it makes you happy. r.i.p. nick!
As the first female solo on this song, Valerie Simpson demonstrates what a fantastic voice she has. She more than holds her own against the great Chaka, who has the second female solo later in the song. This is one of the best songs out of the dance/disco era of the late 1970s!
I remember seeing Ashford and Simpson sing this live at the Paramount Theater in Oakalnd so many years ago and I remember my teenage ears and eyes were AMAZED! I was never the same after the 1st time I saw them live :) I will miss you Nick and Thank You for the wonderful and positive impression you made in my life. Ashford and Simpson forever! #Soldi and stuff like that :)
@Zandi5 Me too, I can't shake this grief "it seems to hang on, like a shadow it follows" - I wish somebody would "loose me please please". I am going to miss him so - greatest musical poet of my lifetime.
I love the way this was put together. Hope this isn't an obsession. LOL But I love it. Those pictures flashin before me. Makes me think of all the fun we had back in the day dancin to this and skatin too.
Q had 2 hav juice cuz back in the day cuz Chaka was the go 2 girl 2 collab on other peoples shit!But if they weren't evil ass Warner Bros label mates it was a No-Go! Chaka was slated 2 sing Street Life,Don't Look Any Further,Jamaica Funk,What Is Your Fantasy,AddictedTo Love,& gang of other records but contractually could'nt cuz of WB's talent stilfling ass!
This musical genius has stuff still in the vaults that could have propelled her into Real super stardom that Evil Ass WB won't release!
@TyjaluvsChaka Ironic isn't it as the core audiences can now well afford to buy all the music CK can sing, unlike when we were younger, perhaps. The record companies are morons. They need to get out more. They'd sell more music . CK's voice has no sell by date. We would buy as much as they produced. Dummies.
This track has all the heavy hitters on it...Michael Jackson is singing backgound on it and so is Patty Austin. Along with Ashford and Simpson Quincy Jones put together a master piece for this time period in music.
@starrchild851 I didn't know Micheal was in the mix too and Patti Austin !!If I had known that I would have put them in the vid as well.Thanks for the info
@Zandi5 yes, this is where Michael jackson and Patti Austin met for the first time. Then they worked together on Michael's album "Off The wall" where Patti and Michael sang a duet called "It's The Falling In Love". quincy Jones is Patti Austin's God Father.
@thewrightlilbro Michael Jackson is singing BACKGROUND with about 10 other people on this track....kinda hard to hear him. If you have the orignal ALBUM you can check the credits.
@starrchild851 Wow! Didn't know that either! I do know Q didn't care 2 much 4 most female singers but was crazy about Chaka & crowned her America's Premier Female Vocalist & later went on 2 say Her & Billy were the top 2 most influential singers of the 20th century! Chaka was heavilly influenced by Bebop & Big Band Jazz as was Q! She also was influenced by Billy, Aretha,Gladys,Carmen,Joni,Tina,Jimi,Janis,Ella,Etta,Charlie,Miles,& a slew of other greats & fused it into her own style!
@starrchild851 You are right Patti Austin does sing back ground vocals on this song, But Michael Jackson doesn't.. It's Luther Vandross that sings back ground vocals...And a host of others, But not Michael Jackson
Oh oh oh, look at Them. Chaka, Nick, Val and Qunicy. They was in their "Hey DAY" as older folk say. All in their glory and youth and sexuality! This song is the isht, makes me want to skate and run around the park for popcicles. Takes me back.
Val said Chaka was asleep on the floor in the studio when they recorded this and then woke up just in time to record her parts and RIPPED IT!!! WOW!!!
