Thanks for posting this classic. One of my favorites from aunt Shelia.

love the song. Glad she started doing some of this song on her tour.

I love that is sounds like 1986. I love the piano sound (sounds like the piano in songs like Fathers Song and the movie Blade Runner) I just love that piano sound.

There is a member who said Sheila E had no singles for this album (she had 3) and this one was on the charts for a long time.

I wonder why an official music video was never made? There is only the live song performance.

I was wondering the same thing.This song was getting alot of airplay on R&B stations back then.A video would have made it even more successful.

I know that "Hold Me" and "Koo Koo" were the singles here in the US....was there a third single elsewhere?

It think this song came out during time Sheila was touring heavily with Prince & unable to really promote her own album much.

It's one of my top 5 of her songs. It shows she can do soft sensual ballads as well as fast percussion driven songs. I didn't know she even did this song live anymore. Now if she would pop up doing Sister Fate live that would be 🔥🔥

- I was wrong about her not having singles beyond “ Hold Me” and I admitted it however you did not bother to read her book so you do not know that she really did not plan doing much to promote this album. She wanted to get back behind her drums and was interested in this album. You realize that artist often have a contractual obligation to promote their albums.

Eddie was no longer in the band at this point.
Only carry overs from the 1984-1986 period were Juan and Levi

It's a shame that this album wasn't fully promoted confused I think it's Sheila's best work

"Faded Photographs" sounds like a potential Top 10 pop hit in 1987.What a missed opportunity.

LOVED this song. This was the slow grind with a honey at the club song. Usually played toward the end of the night, if this didn't set you up for some lovin later, your game was straight lacking. Wonderful song.

Love on a Blue Train started out as the 3rd single in Japan (she was doing a lot of promotions and commercials in Japan)
