@goladen Strangely I agree!!! The vocals for what they are truly amazing,but whats wrong with this song is It didn't stay true to the original.If it had the same tempo,beat & guitar riffs Chaka would have created a new classic!!! But don't blame Chaka,blame Warner Bros for pressuring her to make a commercial pop album.She even watered down Stronger Than Before another song on this album which Joyce Kennedy did it the way she should have & tore it up!!! SMH!!!
Couldn't agree more - this has always been one of my fave Chaka tracks - never a single from the I Feel for You album, but a key cut for the true fans - the combination of Chaka's lung-busting vocals and John Robie's 80s electro production = dancefloor bliss. Chaka truly sings notes that aren't even in the book! Her voice is an amazing instrument in every sense of the word. Still sounds fresh in 2011 as it did over 25 yrs ago (!) back in 1985...xoxo
@cabeef That is exactly how I feel about that track. Man I did hear that version for the first time till 1995 on the Scitti polity album. She is great and so was that arrangment. Loved Gary Wrights version to. Amazing how the same song can sound so good both ways
OH MY GOODNESS....the most under rated Chaka Khan song ever! Thanks for posting it! I know it's a cover, but Chaka's voice is phenomenal on this tune!
Thank you for posting this wonderful song! Chaka Khan took a well-known song (by Gary Wright) and made it her own. One can listen to her fantastic version and still enjoy the original at the same time.
its great minus the drum machine
