Whenever I hear this song I think about my cousin, Sherri, she died so very young. She was closer to me than a sister. My being terminally ill, I thought I would go first....it was truly a sad, sad day when she died.

This reminds me of my cousin who died. At times this song really tears me up. I often thinks about my cousin who died in 1981. He loved the Chi-lites.

con't..And just so happens, this song Toby was just becoming a hit. They played it all day and night on black radio. And since Carry had just been killed, and her name being similar to Toby, we were devastated. Carry was sort of the class clown, but it wasn't until she was killed that we realized how much we all loved her! Her warm spirit, her laugh! She died by trying to keep her honor and not allow a animal to rape her, so he strangled her! It made us respect her more! Malik Jubal

When I was in 5th grade, there was a silly, wild acting girl name Carry who was raped and strangled to death when her girlfriend convinced he to go be with two older dudes and have sex. The friend had sex withone of then, but apparently Carry refused in the other room and the dude strangled her. When they announced it to the class, we were messed up. I don't remember Carrie's last name, but it was at Mark Twain Grade School in St.Louis. I love you Carry! Malik Jubal

@develynn1 You're absolutely right. I lost my girlfriend just like the lyrics to this song, & although it's been nearly 4 years since she's been gone, this song makes it feel like yesterday. Classic tune, just painful to listen to.
