My Badd,missed this one...heard it on 1club.fm...Luther had the rare combo. of a remake artist and still bring it fresh order up...either way he was our Luther!

[WESTSIDEsoul]

not trying to be rude, but since you mentioned it, its spelled Papillon. love this version, miss LUTHER.

[Discovios]

To all DJ's: Make sure you increase the pitch to this stomper, the floor will fill.

The original version, Chaka's version was a cover but both are good especially since Luther is on both.

First heard this in 89 and for me Luther's best song by far and in my top 10 of all-time.

[fylaxx]

Luther's on backing vox on Chaka's version along with Cissy Houston.

[wonpots]

OMG, this is my first time hearing this by Luther. It's one of my favorite songs.

It is bad enough I can't get the Chaka Khan performance of this song out of my head, now I have this one too! Thanks for posting.

Wow.

[mfcgaz]

[1986babyboi]

it's crazy how luther did background on chaka's version and he did a cover of it too. i like both versions. thanks for posting.

[bigpoppa206]

@1986babyboi Luther's was not a cover, it is the original.  Luther was hired by Gregg Diamond and this single was released in 1978. Chaka's was released in 1980. Check the label credits too, Gregg Diamond wrote this classic.

[squirreleltham]

Thank you!!!! One of my favourite songs, ever. Just wish I could get it on CD or as an MP3 file : ( Still got my vinyl 7", but don't know what to do with it.

[TheSanctifiedSoldier]

There are studios that transfer vinyl to CD...there used to be one in Decatur, Georgia...I will look it up for you...I did a demo there years ago...if I find him I'll pass along the info...but I'm sure you could probably find some studio that might do the same...:-)

[didillk]

[tinaloveseddie]

Love Luther! This song is Kickin...Such a Lively Upbeat Tune! Nice...Dig this post Lee.....Well Done! ;-)
