I love this song.One of the best R&B singles of 2009 music Does anyone know what Raphael is gonna do next? I really enjoyed 'The Way I See It' and wouldn't mind another album in that vein.He could expand on this concept and take it even further.

The first time I heard this, I thought it was Ray Parker Jr. singing on it, the co-vocalist sounds almost like him. I really dig this song, its one of Saadiq's best , with or without the Toni's.

EXPENSIVE SHIT

I LOVE that album. I don't think it's a bad track on there. I guess "different strokes for different folks".

My favorites are "100 Yard Dash","Oh Girl" and "Just One Kiss".The entire album is amazing.

Me 2. However, he's still out touring with this one. I know he's sick of not doing any new stuff by now.

I love this song, Raphael, the whole album and I do mean album as in LP, his David Ruffin look...right down to the too tight ass pants, his back up singers, especially the girl...she throws down on those Tempting Temptations-like moves, the videos, the live performances, I love it all. It's what I call a total fucking package and very impressive for an artist out today. clapping

Used to be how a Prince release would be...once upon a time, a long, long, long, long. long, long time ago. giggle

Of course, I'm a Liberal! I'm an American, damn it!

This country was founded on the premise of Liberty and Justice for ALL...remember?

My wallet is STILL on hiatus! finger

Me 3.

One thing I love about RayRay, he doesn't repeat the same musical formula twice. So you know the upcoming will be different music

Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on baby
It has turned off and gone


Lady Day sexy
