[birdatplay]

[hanumanji1961]

They sure don't make music like this any more. Patti Austin has an incomparable voice. One of my favorites.

[dhampex]

HAAAAH Love Stevie on his Yamaha CS-80 Synth!!

[jverason]

Dancing the early morning away at the Catacombs in Philly in the early 80's. This song reminds me of being young,carefree and happy!!!!

When I was about 16 I bought the album The Dude. I played this part of the cassette with this song so much that it wore the tape out. I loved the line "How can you just leave me like a broken toy. Thanks Patti. Incidentally I bought her first album "Every home should have one." Brilliant album.

[lovelizabeth57]

love this song song so much, when I went through my divorce it really his home and the sound of the song itself is still slammin!

[lovelizabeth57]

Love this song, I played it a lot through my divorce and hey! I can relate, and the bear is slammin still.

[AhmadAmor]

Hey ..Reminds me of New York City in the 1980's and Paradise Garage disco and Crazy Eddie's record shop........wonderful !!!

[molinmusic]

LOVE THIS SONG

[HotRadioDJ]

one of my ALL TIME favorites!!!!!!!!!

[yolonlovell]

This freakin' song is thirty years old!!!

Stevie Wonder strikes again!! This song

was so well written and arranged and

produced it holds up against any of this

crap today!!

[vlovesrafa]

@yolonlovell . i totally agree!

[LEGSUDESIRE]

@yolonlovell and you said it all

[GETRUFUSIZED]

Stevie penned it and Patti "sang"..........CLASSIC!

[MURPHNSPUD]

i fukking love her voice

she could sing the phone book 2 me lol

[scrappa27]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME!!!!! The bass was crazy in this song!

[fanofprotopic]

@scrappa27 it IS good, but Stevie wrote 2 other songs that have equally great bass lines. One is Roberta Flack's "Don't Make Me Wait Too Long" and the other is Stevie's own "Do I Do?" (but only the original unedited album track has the great bass).

[lilia011267]

[Marco1066]

[JLT7970]

I believe Stevie was playing the drums on this one too! I've always loved this song & this is the 1st time I've heard a longer version. Thanks!

[alphaqnow]

So i was 7 when this dropped and bugged the hell outta my mom to explain the words to the hook..but damn...i got it now..if you really cared about anyone else i know you wouldn't hurt me...i had to live it first man..Stevie is a beast. I love him and so does the rest of the music community on the planet. Now if I could just get my hands on one of those CS80's he's playing for less than 5 freakin figures....dammit!

[selecta0]

[smilersweetness]

fab!

[jazzfunk61]

old schooler that's me

[tjnyc]

Love this song!!!!!!!

[MontanaMarriott]

I LOVE THIS TRACK, one of my all time PA tracks.

But the pictures above move me to ask did Patti have a gastric bypass? Mama looks THINNNNNNNNN as hell

[LookAlikescollection]

i think she did yes, she said she needed to lose weight because she didnt wanted to end like her mother. as far as i know.. but there are sooo many great tunes of her! like the live songs on my channel somewhere. take a listen ;)

[coypants]

@MontanaMarriott I'd have to agree, one of mine as well!

[coypants]

@MontanaMarriott May very well be mine as well!

[DeLeeJay12]

If you listen, you can hear Michael Jackson singing background. Great song.

[DudeRoss72]

Is that a fact that MJ was on that backround? I always wondered that. I know around this time Q' Pattie and Mike were all on the same scene as well as Stevie who wrote this. Like on "All I DO" The O'Jays, Betty Wright and Mike Jackson sing backround.

[musaskhadijah]

Alrite Dude Ross 72..You really know your music & the true story behind it !! Thanx for the history lesson..Peace & Blessings to ya...
