anyway you do luther, he is going to sound great!!!! i love him and he is so greatly missed!!!!!! thank you for posting-it is of course different from the original but it still sounds really good!!
There was a remix in 1997 that I have been searching for unsuccessfully and it's not this one. It's more like the original but more beat and has some talking over the voice.
When I got a copy from my friend, Gene Underwood original owner of PIME CUTS RECORDS in Hollywood, CA., I was spinning in Padadena. It was a friday afternoon when I went to get it and later on in the evening when I started at 9, I put the original mix then went into this awesome remix...needless to say, the early crowd went "bananas", rushed to the dance floor. Some customers came up to the DJ booth and asked me where they can get a copy of it. I told them it would be hard for them to find it.
Yes, it was on the radio - it was the one played at the end of 1989 all of the time, also when the song was still in the charts into 1990. While the 7 inch which charted I believe was the original single from 1982 - this mix was played all of the time on the radio and in clubs.
But I think the poster may be right - I couldn't find it anywhere when I was looking for it within the last few years. I LOVED this house remix.
Ah, this is the remix I've been looking for! There were some really crappy remixes of old songs going around in the late 80s, but this one, for me, was one that didn't completely ruin the song. A lot of remixes had silly and unnecessary samples added, which may have been fashionable then, but they have dated badly (not that I liked them when they were new). This mix sounds as good today as it did then.
I like it. It respects the original, adds some cool new vocals and isn't some crap sped up house mix, which you see all too often from lesser mixers. Sweet.
@ikkusdus - because it's a remix. a different version. the amazing original is still there forever and ever.. so is this. luther loved it, sang on it, and that's good enough for me.
lol . 2 many haters .. & thair spectrum of music probably ranges from hannah montana 2 kanye west . tutut ! dont talk shit haterz ! .. this remix isnt as good as original or the "89" ( in my opinion) but better than any other... legends never die. long live the music of luther vandross !
Funky and Danceable Killer remix of a Classic song from 1981.. His Royal Greatness at his finest even remixed Luther is so missed greatly!! RIP "His Royal Greatness*" (*Luther)
I like the original a bit better. There was a sassier , more attitude and groove to the original. This has a light, breezy feeling to it. Nice attempt though.
to clear a few things up, when i was remixing this at righttrack studios in ny, luther was in the next studio working a track for whitney houston. he popped in the studio to hear what we were doing and loved the track we did, and asked if he could add some vocals and the beginning and the end of my mix. dream come true. when he started singing to the track chills all over. he was a lovely guy. thanks for posting the mix and if i do say so myself, it still sounds damm good. justin strauss
This used to be rocked at a lot of parties back in the day. The remix had that 'just right' (bad pun on Justin Strauss, i know) pop to move the dance floor. Great song, love it.
SING LUTHER!!! The beginning, was that cut out of the original recording or did he go bk in the lab and lay those ad libs down? Love the voice, hate the remix tho
I was wondering that too... It's like version of Bad Boy (Having a Party) on The Best of Love Vol 1 comp. It's far superior to the original lp version with his backing vocalists goin' crazy with their 'he's a bad boy swingin' & 'Skidippidy-dippidy-dweee's'. Love it!
I appreciate your comments, but I must say I disagree with you. I think the intro vocals and that passionate sound he makes during the chorus are very soulful. But I can sorta understand what you're saying, it is unusual for a soul song to have that kinda beat.
I'm with Jay. The original had that funk that you can nod your head too and it just got you movin right from the jump. This version IMO just sounds too robotic in the sense of the groove / swing that original had.
For instance, if you play both versions in a club, the original by far will get the biggest ovation.
anyway you do luther, he is going to sound great!!!! i love him and he is so greatly missed!!!!!! thank you for posting-it is of course different from the original but it still sounds really good!!

this mix was done for Epic Records, not released on DMC. They might have done an DMC edit after it came out.

I am sure this remix was on a DMC (Disco mix Club) album in 1988 maybe August or September! Before it was released generally.

There is no beat no tune could ever screw up Luther's vocal. His vocals are so strong and perfect a band of 2 yr old could do his music.
