  • Is this harmonica played by Stevie Wonder!?

  • @soulpeanuts888 No , Harmonica Solo by Hugh McCracken .

  • Guess what everyone...Whitney Houston who was only 17 at the time sang back-up on this song with her mother Cissy and Luther Vandross...

  • @miaward68 There is no Whitney Houston on this Track .

  • I love this album- this album came out on my birthday- May 28, 1980- I was 5 yrs old then. Ever since then, I be bumping this jam in my house. The proper order of background singers are: Luther Vandross, Hamish Stuart, Mark Stevens, Cissy Houston and Ullanda McCullough- I am a stickler for that fact- lol

  • Charlie Wilson may have a daughter by Chaka

  • icandiyum how fortunate for you. I was surrounded by good music during my childhood too. It makes these songs so much more special. God bless their hearts.

  • this reminds me of the times when my parents were still married. They would play all of this wonderful music. My childhood was surrounded by love and great music like this. who could ask for anything more???? I heart this song!!!!!!

  • @kittysmooth7 Thats because you RESPECT THE MUSIC and much love for that. Everyone should be as astute as you because were it not for digitizing, all the good music would be lost.......Keep on rockin

  • You know you BAD (as in good) when Chaka has you singing her backgrounds. That's 17-year old Whitney with her mama and the incomparable Luther Vandross right there. I LIVE for that lil' moment when you just hear Luther stretch 'fly' towards the end. Damn, that man could SANG. Ditto for Whitney ♥

    Hey there now don,t cry! I am with you it is a deep cut. the arrangement of the vocals and musical changes are so captivating. Love, feel good, sweet times, sundown, good friends, summer with the top down...sleepy city nights...Ehm so good...walking with my girl.

  • I loves me some Chaka!! You can definitely hear Luther in the background!! If you listen through a headset you can really hear him. I love little gems like this!

  • @kittysmooth7 thanks for the correct infromation...

  • @miaward68 wow.. small world

  • I remember when, you took my breathe away. Hot Black Butterflies.
