track 3 from the 1974 album Rufusized
In 1975 Rolling Stone Magazine writer Jim Miller wrote a less than favorable review of Rufusized, (http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/rufus/albums/album/219618/review/5940303/rufusized) but it didn't stop me or any of my crowd from enjoying, loving and partying along with the entire record as the first track suggests. This is by far my favorite of any recording by Chaka Khan and it holds a very special place in my heart's party days hall of fame.

Such expression. Rare these days to be able to go thru so many emotions in music. Hope, anxiety... support, LUV..... Funk!

And let's not forget Chaka. Find another album where Chaka is better. Don't think you will. She's pure soul here.

Mr. Miller was an idiot not to hear the genuis of this album. IMO, one of the best albums ever recorded. Songs are packed with awesome lyrics and beautiful melodies!! LOVE THIS ALBUM. Thanks for the upload XFunkster.

Thank you, Chaka sang this song here in Louisville on our waterfront. I came home searching for it. My late husband DJ as a side job and him and I searched for the song and now 2 years since he passed away I found it . She said she wrote it for her baby daddy
