I'm not ashamed to admit that actually. I wished I lived in the '70s, lol

I'm glad to have been born in the late 70's, but I wish I was born 10 years earlier. I grew up in the 80's so that's second best. lol

The Cover Girls' version:


BTW, The Cover Girls also had an uptempo version of this song. But I'm still can't find the video with THAT version as of late.


Teena Marie's version:


Beyonce's version:

Everybody and their mama has a rendition of this song!!! I like how Beyonce sings it.

The message you are about to hear are not meant for transmission. Should ONLY be accessed in the privacy of your mind. Words are so intense so if you dare to listen.Take off your clothes and meet me between the lines.

i love this song

The Cover Girls and Teena Marie are good covers, think Beyonce's is awful though, and I knew it would be ...

My favorite Rose Royce track is this one... Brings back memories of that famous scene from "Car Wash"!!

Does anyone remember a cover version of this song from the early 80s? It's from 1980-82....it came out sometime during those years.I think it was a jazz artist with a guest female vocalist on it? There was alot of saxophone in it,especially near the end.I remember hearing this version and thinking that it was as good as the Rose Royce version.

Yeah,the Beyonce version is weak.She should stay away from classic songs like this.....songs that require some emotional depth.

I agree. Soul is a genre that required emotional depth.
