Loved this song until I read that Cuba Gooding Sr. abandoned his family 2 yrs after making this song. Mom and Cuba Gooding Jr. lived in hotels in Los Angeles after Sr. bailed. Mom raised Cuba Jr. by herself. Cuba Jr. still made a name for himself. IMO Cuba Gooding Sr. is a scum bag. Leave the kid and mom to fend for themselves . What a jerk.
