Went to school with Courtney, and still rate this as his greatest ever recorded music moment. Criminally underrated 70s Supreme Susaye Greene is an inspired choice as vocalist, who truly levitates here. Pure class!

Beautiful, this is the same whistle note Shanice hit in her live version of 'Yesterday'.

@MotownMaster I totally agree. It may perhaps be this perception that American R&B singers are more talented in general, than those in the UK. I think this rendition is the best one, its got that jazzy, soulful swing to it, where as Mary J's version is more urban-modern soul.

Miss Susaye is so cute
-
the music speaks for itself...the critics and the radio doctors remain mum. The trade-off between Susaye and Courtney toward the end of this is spellbinding.

Richer and fuller than Minnie, more pure and clear than Deniece....You can understand every word that she sings, with excellent phrasing, and so musical!.. Just a superior and beautiful voice....Amazing performance.

@lilwhitney100 Mary Blige better than Susaye? You must be tone deaf.

That's a pretty nice version of the song!
The writer of the song was Chris Amoo,
leader of the band "The Real Thing", was'nt it?
And the original version contains an uptempo part - "stanhope street"...I love it !!

Yep, and Chris Amoo is now a very well established Crufts winning Afgan Hound breeder!!!
